It should be "Tierra del Fuego" instead of "Tierra del Fuedgo".

Venezuela could also be described as a country where there have been massive demonstrations in support of Maduro.

That would be a blatant lie so probably better to stay with the facts as it is right now :)

I spelled Quechua “Quechua” and I forgot the name of Xingu. I am so good at this.

"yerba" is confusing, the actual name is yerba mate, yerba is just hierba which means weeds.

Actually, is only "mate", not "maté". Maté means "I kiled" haha

"Both "mate" and "maté" are common spellings in English. It is spelled "mate" in both Spanish and Portuguese.[1] The pronunciation is [ˈmate] in Spanish and [ˈmatʃi] in Portuguese."

I spelled Kirchner wrong so many different ways, but never got the right spelling, drat XD

Also had no idea on Xingu, but got the rest, not bad for a first attempt
