    Just remember that they go in alphabetical order north to south. That's how I remember them.

    My guesswork was in former Yugoslavia. I knew Serbia and Macedonia, took a guess at Croatia and deduced the rest from there. Lucky, lucky.

        MY GOD! The results on the report are disturbing. How can so many youths be so DUMB!? Do my taxes pay for this!?
        Geographical knowledge isn't exactly the be-all end-all measure of intelligence. I consider it to be somewhat analogous to spelling knowledge -- I've known a fair number of people who are extremely bright yet can't spell worth a damn.

                      nunavut was carved out of the Northwest territories and has had territorial status for a few years now--

                      39 /39 canada
                      99/150 USA-- ( darn Idaho, Iowa and all the other square states in the middle)
                      87/114 for Europe -- Balkans with all the newer nations got me

                      73/87 Mid east-- kinda proud of that one given that it included a lot of the former Soviet republics
