Fab quiz; learned some stuff from that. I didn't realise that Leningrad was still in use as the name of a region.

Bremen has only about 680.000 inhabitants.

Really somebody needs to tell Jetpunk that England isn't a first-level subdivision. Oh, hang on, that's me. There we are.

Fun, thank you!

Indeed. It's different from Scotland, Wales and NI in that there is no governmental or elected tier that covers England as such. It should be London, and then the largest-area metro or local authority in the rest of the country. And don't get me started on Crimea. But both are the result of inaccurate overall 'policies' and not the fault of this quiz maker (thanks for your efforts).

As a Scot, I would say that these distinctions are understandable, especially with regard to law, public healthcare and education. It is true that England doesn't have a devolved assembly of some sort, though it has distinctive elements (as just mentioned) that make it only a part of a 'united' kingdom.

The idea that 'England' is not a first-level subdivision can be seen as other parts of the United Kingdom as part of what makes 'British' synonymous with 'English' (as no one [and I realise that I am speaking in generalisations and hyperbole] considers a Scottish accent 'British', but a standard 'British' accent will invariably be an English one.).

Don't get me wrong – I would be very happy to see the first-level subdivisions consist of various political authorities (I have made a quiz deleniating such bodies), but to see the four nations within the United Kingdom as the basic political subdivisions of the UK seems reasonable. I have more of an issue with Iceland's subdivisions...

Absolutely fair enough - there's merit in symmetry and there's always been a 'residual' quality to English governance (and - I say as an English person - to English identity as well).

I don't know, I've seen the definition of "first-level subdivision" somewhere on Jetpunk and it's about (amongst other things) having some dedicated administrative body like a county council, regional parliament or whatever, which England doesn't have. It doesn't have it's own "law" as such - English law is shared with Wales. It does have its own laws in those areas which have been reserved for the devolved parliaments as you say, but that's only because of the residual effect of laws passed by the whole-UK parliament not obtaining where there do exist devolved parliaments - which isn't the same thing as there being an English parliament.

I'm sure there are other parts of the world which are worse though!
