But it's still part of the USA, which is why I decided to include even though it's not really North American.

I didn't see it either, but I wasn't expecting it to be on a North America quiz. I understand why it was included, but just wasn't expecting it.

Not sure what you mean, I don't want to make the squares even darker, and most people seems to be able to tell which square is lit up?

Well, when you consider that people don't think about territories immediately, let alone know the capital/cities in each, 3% is a fair number.

Ahh, I didn't know that territories in this quiz were fair game, so I missed Willemstead.

The same way I make the countries, just by making straight lines instead

And I used citypopulation.de for the cities

1.7 % of test takers score 100% - I don't know how many people are in this class, but it makes me feel good about myself - if only I were in the top 1.7% of income earners.

This def a great one, even if think know all capitals cause the few where not highest is any capital in area totally got me.

Mainly just couldn't figure out Milwaukee, Sioux Falls, Providence, Billings or Jacksonville. Despite trying a ton.
