  In the first case, they’re simply wrong, a country is a country. We might disagree on whether it is a sovereign state and worthy of establishing diplomatic ties. In the second case, they’ll gave to accept that the America continent has a part that is closer to the pole that a compass points to.

      If this kind of compass:

      Picture of the kind of compass you use to navigate and which points north.

      points anywhere but north, you may have one or more of a number of problems.

  Then they would be ignorant at best and poorly educated at worse.

  They would be mixing up two entirely different classification systems. Functionally the equivalent of saying theirs no stars in the sky because water isn’t wet.

  Its just nonsense.

  You would have to first educate them enough to understand the defined terminology before you could even consider them a peer in the discussion.
