Four New Countries and Relearning Geography

After a bit of a slow spell, in one week we have gotten four new countries to visit the farm:
Montenegro(meaning "Black Mountain" in Montenegrin);Algeria; andVenezuela.

This has caused me to visit these countries online. I admit to not knowing where Montenegro and Senegal were. I'm not sure if these two countries were named as they are today, with the same borders, when my Dad made me memorize all the countries and capitals as an elementary school girl.

Below are more of the sites I looked at:
