Great! How did you create the regions shapes in the world map? I always wanted to do a 'regions of western europe' quiz with a map but dont know how to create the map!

As all of the countries on this quiz have a featured regions quiz on this site, I downloaded all of the SVG files off of Jetunk's SVG index. then, using a free program, (Inkscape), I copied the necessary regions from the Quizmaster's maps and added them to the world map, (with the only exceptions being South Africa and the United Arab Emirates, due to the fact the maps from those quizzes cannot be found in the index.) The most difficult part was scaling them, as these maps used a different projection as the world map does. If you were to make a quiz on Western Europe, I would reccomend you take a map of Europe and then copy the necessary regions from other maps. Inkscape is definitely the easiest way to do this, but other programs, such as Notepad++ are capable of doing this. Hope this helps :)

thanks! the scaling process is actually what I thought would be messy, because I guess since projections are different it's very easy to get things distorted?

No problem. And yes, regions easily can become distorted due to the projections. However, if you have a map with different, often zoomed-in perspective, it becomes easier to place regions on the map, (such as the map of South America, or, as in your case, Europe.) It's more so the world map, where individual countries are small to begin with, that distortion becomes very serious.
