There are many aspects of this quiz that need addressing. Primarily, the hints should not include question marks as they are statements and there are a number of spelling and capitalisation mistakes. A "capitol" is, as anybody can quickly look up, "a building in which a state legislative body meets" and it is more or less exclusive to the United States of America. It is very different to a [sovereign] country capital as anybody with an education by the age of ten could hopefully tell you. Following through chronologically: "super-power" should not be hyphenated and "Archipelago", "Eastern" and "Northern" should not be capitalised. The Alboran "sea" should be capitalised and the answer "Bitter Lakes" should not require the answer to include "Lakes" as this is specified in the associated question. "Strait of Bosphorus" makes no grammatical sense and even so would be ineloquent and therefore should be the Bosphorus Strait.
