Where in the world is Ceylon?

Ceylon is the original name of the country now known as Sri Lanka. It is an island in Asia, located off the southern tip of India. Once famed for its primary export, "Ceylon Tea", the country of Sri Lanka has more recently (2009) become known for its refusal to allow humanitarian aid during a bloody civil war.
