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.)

I think that “Ben In Jerry” would be a far different company than the current incarnation.

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.)

The only bad clue was reno imo. This quiz didn't feel unbalanced at all (which indeed isnt always the case).

As long as it is questions people outside of the US (or whatever country the question is about) have a chance of getting it is fine.
