It's not you, it's the education you get. It's more focused on other things than geography.
I had geography in like the 4th and 5th grade. Lots of it. We had to memorize all the countries of the world (not that this knowledge helps me so much today since things keep changing), and all the states in the US and state capitals and all that stuff. I just have a block on those few places. It's like any other knowledge though, use it or lose it and I haven't really had to know the difference between Sweden and Norway in the past 20 years.
