You may want to be more specific- or broaden the answers. South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands is a territory of the UK. The Northern Marianas Islands is a territory of the US.

I had no idea either of those existed. I guess this was more going what you could set on your Jetpunk map, so I’ll add that as a caveat.

Great quiz! I think you're missing Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, and Shaanxi for China though.

Thank you! And I felt like I was going to forget a few somewhere considering I don't even speak most of these languages.

One of brazilian spelling is wrong. It's actually "Mato Grosso DO Sul", and not "du". And also, could you accept just "South Tyrol", without Trentino?

Thanks! And I will add that as a type-in.

Good quiz! South Africa has provinces that are comparable to federal units listed in the quiz, four of which have compass names (Northern, Western and Eastern Cape, and North West).

I don't think territories - in the sense of overseas territories administered by a country, rather than 'Territories' as Canada and Australia use the term - should be counted here but your choice. So I don't think South Georgia belongs here.

I might add other countries to this list, but for right now I'm sticking with the countries listed on the JetPunk 'Countries Visited' map. Gives me a nice short list to pull answers from.

North Rhine Westphalia is written twice and Henan gets me Hainan. Excellent idea though.

It’s written twice because it has both North and West in the name. Same things with Northwest Territories.

Henan gets you Hainan though
