Easy. It's Atlantis. Not only Americans would fail here, also ancient Greeks because they located Atlantis somewhere in the Aegean sea where an undersea quake sunk a couple of islands. Claiming Atlantis was lost and can't be found, of course, is cheap. It takes the illuminated mind of a trained alchemist to see the truth behind the blindwork of the temple knights and the dark forces of the Vatican.
Okay but what is that country really? It's obviously not real, but where is the shape from? Is it just made up, is it another country (I wouldn't know which one) or is it the shape of some fictional place?

Each side (except maybe not the bottom) has small disconnected 'islands' so it wouldn't be land-locked.
That split on the north east looks like a rather deep river. Makes me think volcanic. But most of the recent volcanic islands don't have smaller islands like that around them. Puts me more in the mind of something around the Philippines. It could be something from a high resolution map showing more islands.
I rotated and flipped it every which way, fed it back through tineye and google images, nada. I guess is that it was a collection of islands merged together, or a fictional art piece.
Mainland Europe has always claimed it as the inseperable(不可分割)part of the European Union, meanwhile, the ruling government of Euro-wan, the Union of Europe, insists its a separate independent country. Some residents of Euro-wan are trying to rename the country into Republic of Euro-wan

Sorry I don't want to hurt the feelings of the 400 Million+ Mainland Europeans. No comment.
Context: In Hungary, a group of people started to interview people of the street about their geography knowledge, and it involved the fictional country, "Pirezia". It also became a meme.

That's North Canary Island. It's not on many maps because it formed recently from a submerged volcano. Maybe you remember hearing about that a few years ago?
