Could not Wake be accepted as an island territory?

Good call, but perhaps because it has no indigenous inhabitants?

I think it is technically Wake Island.

It's also disputed - the Marshall Islands claim Wake as well.

9 questions out of 22 about Europe and 7 about the US, 2 of which are pretty obscure if you aren't American - Reno and Ohio. I'm not sure why you feel this is "Euro-Centric"

Too Portland-centric for me. That being said, complaining about Reno is fine. Ohio though? There are only 3 US states with 4 letters.

Anyone else try "Jerry" for "it's next to Benin"? (Then tried "Jeri" to stick to 4 letters. Oh, ignorance, you are delicious.)

Had the clue read "It's native name is Ngaruahoe," I would totally be with you.

Mt Cook is Aoraki, in the Sth Is. Ngaruahoe is Ngaruahoe, in the Nth Is.

"Biggest little city"? That's weird... Is there a reason for this nickname?

There's an arch built over a street in downtown Reno, and someone submitted that slogan as the winning entry in a contest to come up with a city slogan to be painted on the arch. (It makes one wonder what the losing slogans were.)

Far better clue for Reno would have been "R.E.M.'s song "All The Way to...""
