Regions of Countries #2

Fun quiz. Piedmont is also a region in Virginia, which itself is a state in the United States.

It's also a town in California in a pretty amazing tv show!

There are thousands of regions, cities, towns, etc. in the US named after European regions, cities, towns, etc. If we go by that logic anything that exists not just in Europe but also in North America couldn't be used in these kind of quizzes. It should be obvious that the well known region in Italy is meant and not some random region in Virginia only because some Italian settlers named it after their home.

pretty sure the Piedmont region of Virginia is not named for the Italian region, but rather because it is in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

Great quiz. Had to guess some but in the end I got them all. Thanks

Dalmatia, Croatia...that's fun to say...

Got a fair few answers by saying them in an accent they read like :P

Nice Quiz. A little way too easy. 100% in the finish time of 3:00 minutes.

That sentence makes my head hurt. "a little way too easy"

Ohhh, don't be so much barely hard on them. It's an honest mistake that a select few of any of us could might make.

Completely true possibly.

This comment chain of replies makes me completely kind of laugh out loud quietly.

Give him/her a break. I'm guessing English is not the first language and some of us do well to do these quizzes with English as our first language. Such as me myself probably maybe.

Mato Grosso is a political state in Brazil, but is not considered as a region. It should be better Pantanal, Amazônia, Sertão, Campos Sulinos... these are regions limited by its own similar characteristics, and not merely a political division.

From the heading: "Region" is not used in a technical sense

um no its a region....

Well, I'm Brazilian, so I know better. Mato Grosso is a State of my country. Saying it's a region is the same as saying Florida is a region or on the other way round saying New England is a State. For the sake of accuracy, please, correct that. There are 5 major regions in Brazil: Norte, Nordeste, Centro-Oeste, Sudeste and South and dozens other microregions such as Pantanal, Sertão Nordestino, Vale do Paraíba, Chapada Diamantina, Pampas Gaúchos, Serra da Mantiqueira, Floresta Amazônica and so on.

Region means area... so if there is a piece of land with a name, it is a region. If you are talking official you get names like state, department, district, provence etc,

Try my quiz cities by country

I tried "pokemon world" for kanto but it didn't work

I had to re-log in (made up verbal clause) to say this, so you'd better appreciate it. LOL :D

Missed one. Beats or equals 54.2% of the quiztakers. Augh.

Redid it. Got full points. Only this time it wasn't regions of countries, it was anagrams of countries. WEIRD!

I missed one - Upper Silesia - and only got 3 of 5 points. Tough competition.

Transylvania is a county in North Carolina, a state in the United states. i know that is pretty stickler-ish, but its true

While correct, the Romanian area is far, far more widely known to the point where it's practically irrelevant, particularly after when "Texas" is the first item.

yeah... though I made a similar point above, it wasn't meant to mean that the quiz should be changed. There are a thousand or more place names in the Americas that were named for other places in Europe or elsewhere.

Yorkshire!!! Happy Yorkshire Day :D

I missed 4 only. Good quiz

Why did it specify County Cork? Surely Cork alone would have been enough? None of the other clues had this e.g. County Yorkshire, Texas State

Cork - on its own - is a city in County Cork. Most Irish counties are referred to in this way, because many of them are named after towns or cities within them. The same thing also happens in the UK: you might live in County Durham, but not necessarily in the city of Durham. So, you need to actively use the "County" part of the name so as to specify.

That is called french-flanders if I am not mistaken.

kanto is also a region in pokemon

Hundo! Yes sir! 100%

You can easily see it is a word in a romance language so there are only a few options, as for silesia... you cant really derive anything from it.

Very easy, never had press the backspace button

good quiz got in first try

Texas was super easy.

Can't believe I actually got full marks on my first try, especially since Jalisco and Matto Grosso were just lucky guesses. "What language does that sound like?" followed by "what country speaks that language and hasn't already been an answer?" seemed to be a winning strategy!
