Would be good if you could show the capital as a hint in the stats so we can see them afterwards.

My record is: Madrid, Paris, Berlin, London, Reykjavik, Oslo, Bern, Moscow, Rome, Valetta, Kiev, Belgrade and Athens with 13 cities and only 75 characters. I was able to do it in 12 seconds this way (18 sec left) Anyone found a shorter way?

Same. 3 seconds left, and with the same capitals he used, and I'm over the moon! That's some good typing skills you got there!

If you already used Oslo and Kiev then you can switch Moscow with Riga and shave off two more characters.

Probably much better methods around, but this worked for me because of the alliteration. Skopje, Sarajevo, Stockholm, Riga, Rome, Reykjavik, Kiev, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Dublin and Valletta and Bern.

My order varied though. After the aliterations, some big names (dublin flows beter than london, and sort of rhymes with berlin) which leaves you with malta and Liechtenstein. For malta there is only one option, for liechtenstein bern is the shortest.

If you want more alliteration instead of Kiev, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Dublin and Valletta and Bern. You can also do: Paris, London, Lisbon, Berlin, Bern, Kiev, Valletta

or no bern and use vienna valletta. Or no paris and lisbon and use madrid, monaco. Those will leave Berlin and London solo though, but possibly easier to remember for some.

So you could get: Skopje, Sarajevo, Stockholm, Reykjavik, Riga, Rome, London, Berlin, Madrid, Monaco, Kiev, Vienna, Valletta. Sometimes having a nice flow helps more than having fewer letters imo :)

That's because it's the capital of Turkey

Turkey touches Bulgaria. But it is considered Asia so Ankara is not a valid answer for this quiz.

OK, can someone explain how I managed to get UK but not Ireland? (NB I was sure I typed in London, but tried it again second time and Ireland was filled in then). Less sure I typed Madrid and didn't get Portugal (again tested this and it worked)

OK, I see Madrid gives you UK (presumably a dubious Gib thing), but that wouldn't explain the absence of Portugal...
