Anyway, once again, the idea here is clearly just to have a big quiz with phonetically similar endings.
It is a great quiz though, very tough.
Some Russian place names adopted foreign (incl. German) names without directly keeping this usage.
I'm not saying it should change or be different, just kvetching.
If you wanted to make it a lot harder, you could've added one below Blacksburg and then have "Seat of the county where the above is located"
