Can you accept Moresby for Port Moresby, Sunshine for Sunshine Coast, Gold for Gold Coast, and Central for Central Coast? You should definitely accept Gosford for central coast, as many people consider central coast to be the area and Gosford to be the city.

I was reluctant to accept those shortenings, as they do not appear very highly on a Google search, and are rarely referred to as those terms. As with Central Coast, it is a peri-urban area, meaning that is a hybrid landscape of fragmented urban and rural characteristics. I personally don't classify it as a city, but chose to include it on this quiz to be consistent with my source. I will therefore think about adding type-ins for all the cities in the area, as well as other similar areas.

Those coast type-in suggestions are rather strange. I've never heard anyone call them Sunshine, Gold or Central. Gosford makes sense though.

You might want to exclude or grey-out Central Coast as that isn't really a city, just like the Ruhr Area. (Yes although you included more type-ins for other cities in the urban area, it would be better to exclude it) Other than that, I had fun taking the quiz!

Wow, I always though it was "Honoria" and named on behalf of some European queen (like Virginia for Elizabeth I). Now I know it's Honiara (and is an anglicization of the local name).

Might wanna Add Honolulu, Kahului, And Hilo. Hawaii might be a State of the USA but it’s still in Oceania Geographically Speaking. Just As Easter Island is also Part of Oceania even though it is Chilean.

Nice quiz, but what's the point in excluding overseas territory ? They're still part of Oceania.
