For this quiz, it might be a good idea to answer per question instead of in total. I got Pakistan because I guessed it for Uruguay.

Otherwise great quiz :)

I'm probably the only one on this site who hates these satellite quizzes. I'm horrible at them - except for a few obvious ones everything just looks like a big green or brown blob to me.

The Ireland part contains two separate nations; Northern Ireland, part of the UK and the Republic of Ireland, separate countries, same island. It's an extremely contentious political issue

Maybe that's the reason, why QM cut off the upper right edge of the island, so really only the "Republic of Ireland" is shown completely.

You must have done this quiz before. The first time you did not guess that country, hence 50%.

Note that we can actually see Djibouti on the Somalia image too. As Djibouti is the one most struggle with, we still sort of get a hint if we know Somalia and its surrounding countries already. - Not complaining about that, but fun to notice!

Why won't 'Bosnia and Herzegovina' be accepted in the one having the answer as 'Croatia' ('Hrvatska' in Croatian)? Since it also covers Bosnia and Herzegovina too, it should also be accepted...
