Hello all!

I’ve read all your comments and decided to completely redo this quiz.

Here’s the main points I changed:

> increased N° of regions to 80

> removed and replaced some lesser-guessed ones

> got rid of historical regions as they caused confusion

> more detailed illustration thanks to SVG classes

> better visibility of smaller regions (arrows and light blue color)

> more detailed population update, I either used country population or divisional populations according to citypopulation, and in some cases, based the region border on these divisions (e.g. Australian LGAs for the Outback)

> more type-ins to reflect your inputs

Thanks!

Cool quiz, even if its a bit subjective. I would get rid of 'the Bush' region, as any Australian will tell you that 'the bush' isn't really a defined geographic place. It's just anywhere that isn't developed and has lots of trees that are generally eucalyptus. Grouping the Daintree rainforest and the Nullarbor in the same ecological region doesn't make much sense. Perhaps add the Great Dividing Range instead.

Agreed. "The bush" is definitely not a geographic region. It's like choosing a section of the map and asking people to guess "the jungle."

Very engaging quiz, though.

Anatolia is sometimes used for all of Asian Turkey. But in fact, it only refers to the peninsula, i.e. it does not cover the eastern parts of the country.

Anderis

Level 69
Aug 3, 2021
At first I thougtht that they're not the same thing and Fertile Crescent consists of Levant, Egypt and Mesopotamia.

But then read at Wikipedia, that the term Levant used to mean the entire Eeastern Mediterranean at some point so it could actually work here too, perhaps.

Got Fertile Crescent but first tried the Levant. Tried Hong Kong and Kowloon for Pearl River. Tried South Africa and variations for "Southern Africa." Tried the South, American South, Bible Belt, Sun Belt, and other weirder stuff for "Deep South." Tried Eastern Seaboard for "Mid-Atlantic." Tried Caucuses, Caucusus, Caucasian Mountains, etc, for "Caucasia."

Agreed on the Caucuses. Normally the three countries aren't referred to as the "Caucus States" but the Caucuses at large. I think Southern Africa is too broad, but "Cape" is not specific and should be "Cape of Good Hope" instead.
JWatson24

Agree with Kal, and would like to add that I'd like to see "South Asia" as a type-in for the India subcontinent (also, just "India" should be a type-in since all of South Asia is considered part of "Greater India"), "Maritime Southeast Asia" for the East Indies, and "Canton" or "Guangzhou" for "Pearl River Delta." It's definitely a good quiz, just a bit arbitrary at times, so I'd really appreciate it if you could add more type-ins!
Jimmythesleepy

Level 59
Aug 4, 2021
This quiz is great, but I think some of these places are commonly known by several names, or their names have changed over time, which I found very confusing.

E.g. Fertile Crescent feels very archaic to me, I'd have called that region The Levant (even then a pretty old term).

I would also argue that Scandinavia should be a type in for The Nordics. I've never heard the term The Nordics before, I'd think of it as more an adjective than a noun.

Similarly the Mid-Atlantic states get called a lot of things, I'd argue that Eastern Seaboard is a comparably common name.

Overall great quiz, and a fantastic concept!

Agree. I've not heard of Visegrad before and it doesn't seem it is in common use. Seems more a political pact than a region? Central Europe is subjective tho - while some German historians argue Germany is at the centre of central europe, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians etc argue that they are Central Europe, not Eastern Europe...

As an Irish person, I LOATHE the term “British isles”, as it is a direct undermining of Irish sovereignty and equivalent to referring to Pakistan as part of India, say. I would advise changing it to “British-Irish” isles, and keeping “British isles” as a type in.

The Indochina one feels a bit ambiguous. That term can either refer to French Indochina (just Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia) or all of Mainland Southeast Asia (those countries, plus Thailand, Myanmar, and the mainland portion of Malaysia, which you seem to be referring to). I would recommend changing that answer to Southeast Asia, or at least accepting Southeast Asia as a type-in.
