Hi IAB, I made a spin-off of this quiz which focuses only on the subdivisions which are by the sea. It is a Map Click kind of quiz instead, and I also added the european part of Turkey. Anyways, the quiz is here in case you want to see it (it's my first map lol). Hope you don't mind, and thank you!

Great quiz, thank you for making it! One of my favorites on the site.

I think I found two subdivisions that incorrectly trigger multiple areas.

1. Soroca in Moldova. It turns Soroca green as well as Soldanesti.

2. Pomoravlje in Serbia. It turns Pomoravlje green as well as Podunavlje.

This is an incredible quiz. Though, I find it strange how the 5 point threshold is around 550 answers for this quiz and around 800 for all first-level subdivisions of the world. ( I get around 300 on this quiz and around 900 on the world). I get people know more about Europe but, only an additional 250 answers for the rest of the world? and this quiz has also been taken twice as much so the 5 point threshold should presumably be lower. Honestly, Idk Just thought it was an interesting statistic and I'm definitely overthinking this.

Why are the 12 provinces of the Netherlands not included? That is our first level subdivision.

Jul 23, 2021
The first-level subdivisions of the Netherlands are the four constituent countries.
+3
Level 89
Jul 23, 2021
I don't agree. Check, for instance, Wikipedia. Bonaire, Saba and St Eustatius (if that's what you're refering to) are special municipalities. And therefore, not at the same (higher!) level as the provinces.
+1
Level 55
Jul 23, 2021
Nope, I am talking about the other Dutch Caribbean islands (Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten). The ones that you mentioned are in fact part of the constituent country of the Netherlands.
+1
Level 75
Jul 23, 2021
@AlexanderQ Special municipalities are, like provinces, second level subdivisions. Despite their different status, they are at the same level. What you just said is essentially like saying how Shanghai and Xinjiang are on different levels as one is a municipality whereas the other is an autonomous region
+8
Level 89
Jul 23, 2021
Idk how it works in other countries, but in the Netherlands the provinces are divided into municipalities. For instance, the 'gemeente Arnhem' (a municipality) is part of the province of Gelderland. And the municipality of Amsterdam is part of Noord-Holland. So, Dutch municipalities are definitely a level below provinces.

After diving a little deeper into the official status of all parts of my country, there might be a case to divide it (at first level) into Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao and St Maarten. But in the spirit of this quiz, I would certainly claim that using the provinces would be a much better option.

+4
Level 55
Jul 23, 2021
Doesn't matter if it's "in the spirit of the quiz". The first level subdivision of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are the constituent countries.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands compromises of the Netherlands, Aruba, Sint Maarten and Curacao. The European part (usually referred to as "Netherlands") has 12 provinces and these are the first level subdivisions which make sense. There is no difference with Denmark, where the Kingdom of Denmark also only has three parts (Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe islands), however for some reason Denmark's first level regions are shown. It's an inconsistency.

"Denmark proper is not considered to be a constituent country."

Huh? What's your source on this? Wikipedia specifically calls it the "politically central constituent of the Kingdom of Denmark," which makes sense because it is Denmark proper that has equal status with Greenland and the Faroe Islands, not its five regions.

It does look like one shorter version is accepted. Just typing Westphalia works. Mildly related, Rhineland also works as a type in, but with so much going on in this quiz im not sure if that is filling in NRW or Palatinate.

Wow, this is a bit different than the prior version! I'll need to remaster it :) I like the addition of the country borders.

So far I've found one mistake. In Moldova, it looks like Calarasi and Cahul have been switched. They were correct in the prior version. But on the flip side, you corrected where Soroca also fills in Soldanesti. (and likewise, it looks like you fixed Serbia where Pomoravlje was also filling in Podunavlje )

Great quiz, IAB!

This is a great quiz! I am working on getting all the answers. However, I would suggest a few edits.

The European part of Turkey should be included, as it is technically in Europe.

Vatican City should also be included as its own subdivision, as it is also in Europe, even if it doesn't have any divisions within it.

England should be split into counties, since there is no official administrative region called England, and the counties are in fact the first-level subdivisions.

Thanks for considering

Great map but there are a couple mix-ups in the Hungarian counties:

What you marked as Békés is actually Bács-Kiskun

What you marked as Bács-Kiskun is actually Baranya

And what you marked as Baranya is actually Békés

So it would be great if you fixed those, other than that great job

Wow, this is very impressive. I like it really very much. I could kick myself for forgetting some very obvious ones, though. I'm especially angry with myself for not trying the names of Polish cities and Uralic languages. They would have helped.

I also found a few mistakes, which is natural, dealing with such a huge material. They all concern Hungarian counties. Three of them are swapped. You wrote "Baranya" where "Békés" should be, you wrote "Békés" where "Bács-Kiskun" should be, and "Bács-Kiskun" is where "Baranya" should be.

Otherwise thank you. I'll be soon practising lots of other subdivisions.
