Where's Tunisia?

Must admit I couldn't remember, other than north Africa somewhere near Libya.   (I need to find that map of the world National Geographic sent me when I was still a subscriber.)  Turns out Libya is its eastern neighbor with Algiers to the west.  Sicily a stone skip across the Mediterranean.  Ben Ali, ruling autocrat for more than two decades, has gone to Saudi Arabia leaving behind a successor, who was deposed within 24 hours.
