LOL when I saw Maryland as an answer I was so confused and convinced that there something *really* crazy event that I somehow didn't learn about in history class. It was only after I looked it up that it finally made sense :) but still would never have guessed it in a million years.

Anyways, good quiz. A bit surprising that there's no Scotland referendum. I know you said it's not a comprehensive list, but I think that is better known than some of the other ones on here (such as Sint Eustatius or, as I said before, Maryland).

Thank you. And... Yes, that makes sense, I don't know why I skipped it, to be honest. I'm adding it.

Quebec had 2 referendums, one in 1980 as well as the 1995 one you list.
