Same here. Sweden is assumed. It probably shouldn't be an answer.

Yeah, it was given to Sweden in 1784 and then sold back to France in 1878.

I didn't forget it. I just thought, given the wording of the instructions, that it wouldn't be necessary.

"Once held by Sweden"

I'm pretty sure Sweden is the current occupant of Sweden, so it should be one of those quizzes where Sweden is already filled.

I assumed Sweden would be a given seeing as it is the country in question. Seems a bit pedantic asking us to give it as an answer.

Pedantic, really?? It is the most obvious answer. I guess it is an ego thing for people. So many blaming the quiz(master) because they missed an answer they really should have gotten.

An astonishing quiz. I had no idea Sweden once spread so far and wide. As for Ghana, how come it's scoring more than about 2%?

99% got norway but 53% got sweden. Intelligence is quite good actually. Countries once held by sweden. Sweden still owns sweden. You could change it to exclude sweden.

The wording of the caveat is not the best. I'm pretty sure they "controlled" parts of Belarus and Ukraine when they marched through them towards Poltava, for example. Maybe add some limitation on how long the land must have been held?

I think Iceland should count, they were under the Kalmar Union together until 1523

But that was under Danish rule, so Sweden never controlled Iceland: it was a junior partner in the Kalmar Union, along with Norway.
