I know precisely where I acquired the knowledge that Peru is slightly smaller than Alaska: The Broderbund edutainment game Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? which I played compulsively on the IBM-compatible PC in my mom's home office.
In the game, you play a sleuth in the ACME Detective Agency. Carmen Sandiego and her henchpeople steal things in various cities, which forces you to fly all around the world in search of them.
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? That is the question this writer used to ask daily as a child. Join him as he talks about one of the greatest "edutainment" titles ever.

The actress behind the character was kept a secret. This is her first interview about playing Carmen Sandiego.
This is interesting, didn't know the actress who played Carmen was kept secret. I was just a kid at the time, used to watch the game show and cartoon show
beautiful story I love hearing about interesting stories that relate to my childhood
