Wonderful! Please note that New Zealanders do not consider Niue or Cook Islands to be a part of New Zealand, especially as we fly to those places from the international terminal at Auckland, have to clear customs at each end, and our credit card statements add onto our Cook Island and Niue spending the overseas surcharge mandatory with any overseas spending! We Kiwis cannot live or work, as of right, there either.

That‘s true, but can you imagine how huge complaining would be if I‘d store them under "countries" without giving any hint? As long as they‘re not considered JetPunk countries, I‘ll regard them as mostly independent (dependent on foreign affairs and defence by NZ) but giving appropriate hints

Tricky. I don't like them called "countries" as they clearly aren't fully independent countries. Like New Zealand conducts their diplomatic relations and the citizens of these two are citizens of New Zealand as well. It's simplest to have them listed under the countries listing, but maybe call them islands, territories, areas, or something alike in the disclaimer?

Cook Islands have formal diplomatic relations with 43 countries, including New Zealand. There is a NZ embassy in Rarotonga, and a Cook Islands embassy in Auckland (strictly speaking, the term for embassies between Commonweath countries is "high commission", but the functions are identical). Other counties that recognise Cook Islands diplomatically include Australia, Japan, India, China, France, Germany and every country in Oceania. (Even the US has consular relations). The full list is here.

So you don't have the right to work in those places? That explains why huge numbers of Kiwis are not flocking to Rarotonga or Niue for work! :)

That's interesting, Jerry - I didn't know any of that. Still, for this quiz, I didn't guess them because I didn't think they'd qualify.

Great! I suggest changing to 'zoomable circles' so they don't become too big when zooming in

Fixed this along many other minor faults. There were so many that I uploaded this map at least 15 times, always with an error in it. Should be all fine by now.

Longest I did was Amsterdam Kualu lumpur. I remember 15-16 hours, but good chance that number was total flight (kuala lumpur was not the final destination)

Nah, the AMS-KUL leg lasts like 12 hrs, the flight most likely was heading towards Jakarta because KLM stops in Kuala Lumpur before heading on to Indonesia. When I flew from Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam, the plane had flown in from Jakarta earlier.

These days the Sunshine Coast doesn't really have 'towns' as such, it's one contiguous urban area from Pelican Waters to Noosa. All of it (bar Noosa) is under a single local government - Sunshine Coast Council - and it is broadly considered to be a city of about 400,000 people (though the Council officially presides over the Sunshine Coast Region, unlike the Brisbane and Gold Coast Councils which each preside over an official City). At any rate, the increasingly unitary identity of the Sunshine Coast, with the various towns merging into one another, led to the airport being renamed from Maroochydore-Sunshine Coast to simply Sunshine Coast in 2010.

There was a WLG to CBR service for a while, operated by Singapore Airlines; the flight continued to Singapore from there. But due to lack of passenger demand the WLG - CBR - SIN route was replaced with the WLG - Melbourne - SIN route, and the Canberra route operated via Sydney. So, no, there are no direct flight between Canberra and New Zealand.

Doesn't adding a map to this quiz defeat its purpose. If you didn't know some cities, you could just look at the map. I got many just by looking at a map, and some I never would have thought of.

caveats say that the kind-of-countries are in pink or light blue but i can't see that anywhere? does it mean on the map they're coloured that? because the islands are so small and covered by city dots that you really can't tell even when you're looking for it

maybe an update post-covid would be welcome. There mostly still operating, but routes such as most of the Chinese cities like Beijing, as well as Manila and Bueonos Aires etc are no longer operational. Plus new, post-pandemic additions such as New York. Still a great quiz though

Could maybe change the order of the dots (layer-wise) so that Sunshine Coast is visible without zooming after getting Brisbane and Gold Coast? I didn't realise there was still one there to get.

They are out of order. Sunshine Coast should be north of Brisbane. North to south, it should be Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, and Gold Coast.

Why Rarotonga (island) and not Avarua (city/capital)?

Compare and contrast with Alofi and Denpasar!

Gassu

Because the airport's name is Rarotonga International Airport and its IATA code is RAR

Your quiz asks for the name of the cities, not the name of the airports.

Many of the other answers on this quiz would be different otherwise.

The Beijing dot seems to be too far from the sea, at least compared to the World Capitals by Map
