Thanks! :)

In this quiz, by empire, I meant on a country ruled by an emperor. Something like Roman or Byzantine Empire.

Ya should put that in the caveat cause I too got that one wrong cause it's a tad subjective.

Or be an American. The World Cup could be going on a mile away and most Americans wouldn't know, care, nor remember if told.

Russia, in a sense, has 50+ "states" (first level subdivisions, oblasts, republics, etc) and so I answered both to that one and got it wrong. Figured it may be one of those "which months have 28 days" "all of them (not just February)" kinda situations.
