Great quiz, but there is one thing that I needed to check.

I fact checked your hint about the Faroese Althing (It is also known as the Løgting) being the oldest parliament, as it conflicted with information I heard from elsewhere.

The official website of the islands does back that fact up, and a few other sources I found also make the same claim, but there are also others that contradict it.

Many say the oldest continuously-run parliament in the world is the Tynwald on the Isle of Man, and the Icelandic Althing is also commonly considered as the oldest national parliament.

Perhaps you could change the wording to clarify that it is assumed by some as the oldest parliament.

Thank you.

Thanks! I'm aware that the claim is pretty dubious and that's why I wrote "assumed". I'm not sure whether changing the clue is that necessary, maybe I should.
