Nooooooooooo! The "Sunshine State" is Queensland's nickname:( Maybe that could be included too? Yeah, I did read the caveat, but personally I had never heard that it was Florida's nickname too. I can't imagine too many Aussies would either.

Good quiz, though:) Nominated

Great quiz, thanks for giving Tassie a mention! And also thanks for the Queensland type-in, otherwise I'd have to use my guesswork which isn't very reliable... :)

The Forbidden City is not a nickname for Beijing. It's the palace complex. (Maybe some people use it metonymically but I don't remember ever seeing that)

While some of these are not official, google says that The Forbidden City is often a nickname for Beijing after the palace complex, it's not saying they're the same thing, but it's what it is known for to many
