bashkortostan spelled w0ogn

I’ll fix that, thanks!

(That must mean it is misspelled on my map)

Great quiz, really challenging. Congrats!

Got half, I'm surprised.

Cool challenge! :)

Level 62

This is unpossible :-)

Interesting to hear about Equatorial Guinea's proposed capital.

The first question about the empire can't be right though, can it. What war are you referring to?

Level 62

May 24, 2022

I should admit that I scored 1, by the way....

Level 65

May 24, 2022

Hi! Thanks for playing. I found this on a video which briefly stated this fact. I have now looked it through and I will be deleting is for 2 reasons.

1. Although named the Roman Republic, this 1800s country was not as similar to the 300s Roman Republic as I thought it would be. This country was founded after Napoleons conquest of Italy, making it a sister state. I think this would make this more French than Italian, as it was most likely run by France.

2. I just couldn’t find a war. Closest thing I could find was probably Napoleonic supporters of the conquest who fought against the Papal States.

OK, cool.

Level 47

May 24, 2022

Could you change the type-in for the empire question to just need the name of the empire and not also the word 'empire?'

Level 65

May 24, 2022

Sure!

Level 72

May 24, 2022

Yeah - please explain or provide a source for the Roman Empire's win in the 1800s...

Level 82

May 25, 2022

Please accept "Korea" for "Joseon"

Level 65

May 26, 2022

Sorry, but no. Joseon represents the Empire of Joseon, an entity that lasted for centuries. Korea, either means the Korean Peninsula, "Sea of Korea" (Highly contested for sea of Japan) or North and South Korea. In fact, the name "Korea" only came until 1614.

Level 82

That would be like refusing to accept China for the Han Dynasty.

From Wikipedia: Joseon (Korean: 조선; Hanja: 朝鮮; MR: Chosŏn; [tɕo.sʌn]; Middle Korean: 됴ᇢ〯션〮 Dyǒw syéon or 됴ᇢ〯션〯 Dyǒw syěon), officially the Great Joseon (Korean: 대조선국; Hanja: 大朝鮮國; [tɛ.tɕo.sʌn.ɡuk̚]),[13] was the last dynastic kingdom of Korea, lasting just over 500 years.

Well, now the answer is reworded, thus it is now fine.

So that’s where they got the money to become obese? Trying not to be offensive

Level 65

Dec 10, 2022

No, not really. It is way more complicated, but there are multiple videos addressing Nauru's obesity rate.

Level 76

Dec 16, 2022

I don't think Chosŏn/Joseon is really fair since they're the same word spelled differently...I guessed both the Koreas and a bunch of historical Korean kingdoms like Sulla, Goryeo, didn't occur to me you just wanted a different transcription of the same word.

Would've loved a little spelling lenience on Bashkortostan (I tried Bashkortistan), or alternatively accept Bashkiria, which I also guessed , but I guess those aren't technically official.

Otherwise good quiz!

Level 65

Dec 16, 2022

Thanks! I'll put that in mind.

Level 66

Dec 16, 2022

I could've sworn Sulu's flag was purple, not red.

Level 65

Dec 16, 2022

So... what happened is the flag was edited in Wikipedia, stating; the purple was actually a faded red.
