SOURCES:

The primary source for this quiz is citypopulation's agglomeration page, however as there aren't enough 1m+ cities, citypopulation's country-related pages have been used as secondary sources.

For countries whose numbers haven't been updated in 15 years (namely Burundi, DRC, and Sudan), Wikipedia's List has been used as a backup source.

Great work! Just one suggestion - can you grey out the surrounding countries? For example, Egypt borders Israel but this quiz shows that it borders the ocean.

Could you make the fill different from the stroke so that you can see the dots that are on top of other dots? Like, use the standard Jetpunk fill color?

May I share my favourite fact about African cities? Apparently people from Goma are called "Gomatricians"

I don't know why I like that fact so much, but I do
