It's only that high because it was more obvious where the later states went when there were fewer spaces left. :D

86% 37 miles 386 seconds

first one was Illinois and i was way off. i know where illinois is, but it was hard when looking at a borderless, empty map.

my only other major screw up was colorodo, i put it where Arizona should be...doh! another stupid miss. they should have done it where you has a blank map no matter what because after a while (30th state) it was like putting a puzzle together. getting the exact borders right is tricky, but fun.

no. this is a common misconception. and besides eu membership is a trap. if people knew what would happen, no single country would have entered, and in fact, the maastricht treaty would be rejected by every country in the EEC at that time.

That's not the point, what i said is, that the EU is a nation

Nation; a politically organized body of people under a single government; A relatively large group of people organized under a single, usually independent government;a large body of people, associated with a particular territory, that is sufficiently conscious of its unity to seek or to possess a government peculiarly its own

The EU fits in that. And if it had a constitution, it would be much like the USA, just with different languages for each "state".

How is it not true? The EU is a supranational org, meaning the nations are bound together under a larger central european gov't. Thats what a lot of nationalists hate the EU, because there is national powers taken away from the individual member states, and given to the EU parliament, EC and so on.

for South American I got 50% in 1:50:03
I can't point out as many countries in South America as I can in Europe, but at the same time there are less countries I can't point out xp

However... for the state capitals - http://www.davidincyberspace.com/geoquiz/geoquiz-the-state-capitals-of-the-usa - I got 100% in 1:23:7 =)

For Asia - http://www.davidincyberspace.com/geoquiz/geoquiz-the-countries-of-asia - I did 48%, which is pretty accurate of my knowledge of Asian geography. It helps that with all this news going on there's no way you can't know what countries are what in the middle east.

i always get mixed up with the baltic states, and i never think romania is as far north as it is. san marino gets me too, always want to place it in france. btw where was the vatican? i never even heard of san marino til a couple of years ago but the vatican is world famous and yet not on the map. come to think of it, nor was luxembourgh as far as i remember, although i have an apalling memory.

Its exactly that kind of arrogence that makes people dislike America

You cannot objectively demonstrate that America is "the greatest nation on earth" since greatness is a subjective term.

No, it is the greatest nation on earth. See, the U.S. has 300 million people, 65% of which are overweight. Ergo, the U.S. is the greatest nation.

Yup. It's all that weight on just one side that's causing global warming.

They have Puerto Rico on the Central and South America one.

Ahh but Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States, Palestine is a non-existant territory. There is no territory called Palestine only the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

In addition, the following countries grant some form of special diplomatic status to Palestine. (They don't recognize it as a country, but they recognize it as something more than not a country)

Belgium
Brazil
Canada
Chile
Colombia
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Italy
Mexico
The Netherlands
Norway
Portugal
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
The United Kingdom


The first list is not necessarily the most illustrious list of countries one could have, but the size of it surprised me. That's over half of the countries in the world, I think.

Edit: 102 countries on the first list. Or 101. I think I miscounted. There are 202 sovereign states in the world, if Palestine is included.

I'm far better at the more important skill of identifying countries on a world map. The states in america are irrelevant to me.

Also - the quiz is more of a jigsaw rather than an actual test.

90%, 16 mile average error, 226 seconds on my first try. Lemme tell you, placing Virginia as the first state can be just a bit tricky, and Nevada liked to screw with me.

I tried it again and got 98% with an average error of 4 miles in 197 seconds. I effed up Colorado by a huge margin but that's it. I blame the state for being rectangular.

There's a central European government. There are rules all of its members must follow. But they are granted significant autonomy regarding internal affairs, much like US states.

Really, the EU is as much a nation now as the USA was 200 years ago.

So we have only ~100 years, and we'll be one nation of Europeans;)
