The country we want you to name for the Geo Quiz is a landlocked kingdom in the Himalayas. If you plan to travel there, keep in mind there’s a national dress code. And be prepared to dodge arrows: archery is the national sport.
The kingdom we’re looking for is Bhutan. Anchor Marco Werman talks about all things Bhutanese with The World Mary Kay Magistad in Bhutan.
