Italy has much more active volcanoes than 3! E.g. Volcano or the Phlegraean Fields. It is just that they are recently not erupting.

Nice quiz. Caspian sea is not sea, so I didn't try it.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, a 'sea' must be an expanse of salt water, and it could be used to refer to a large lake. The Caspian Sea fits in both of these categories, so it is arguably a 'sea'.

JackintheBox, technically the Caspian Sea is classified as a lake.

I imagine the quiz uses metro areas instead of city population. No japanese city would qualify as a megacity without using metro population.
