      Well, it had Kalinigrad in the Europe map...

        As most of you, I did very weel on all but the Caribeans...
        I dont think thats very important though.
        I knew all thsoe islands were in the Caribeans, and I knew the big ones (Cuba, haiti, dom rep, jamaica and puerto rico, even curacao from playing pirates in the good ol days) but identyfing the exact island is even less important than knowing the 4 big islands of japan for example even though they are independent. Thats whats ez to forget, as someone pointed out, the republics of russia, the big states of US (California, Texas), even regions of China or maybe Brazil are way more important worldwide than St Kitts & Nevis (spelling?)...

            You couldn't get perfect for the World quiz, because there's one "undefined" question you couldn't possibly get right

            My scores:

            Africa 116/147
            Asia All
            Canada All
            Carribean 25/72 ( I suck)
            Central America 38/42
            Europe 110/114
            Middle East 83/87
            South America 35/39
            USA 142/150
            World 30/33 (damn that "undefined" )

              Agreed. They could have completely skip that and nobody's going to miss a thing.

              Like usual, the Aussies and New Zealanders are skipped, though I am sure they are more important than those tiny dots.
