The vast majority of Turkey's land and population are in Asia, so it's hard to consider it a European country. Russia's a bit easier--the majority of land is in Asia, but the majority of the population (including the capital and 2nd largest city) are in Europe.
This quiz certainly punctured my self-image as geography genius. Very difficult first time. I've been careful not to look at the answers, so I test myself properly next time.
kdc4...... Have you ever heard the word 'Democracy' ? if not I'll explain , it is where people vote to be one way or another and the majority wins. That is why Spain will not give the Catalans a vote for their future and is why Northern Island voted to stay in the UK.
1973: It was the first time that a major referendum had been held in any region of the United Kingdom. The referendum was boycotted by nationalists and resulted in a conclusive victory for remaining in the UK. On a voter turnout of 58.7 percent, 98.9 percent voted to remain in the UK.
For the purposes of this site, I think we should aim to describe the world as it is, as opposed to how we think it should be. The latter will produce a myriad of different arguments, whereas the former avoids politics and value judgments and is purely descriptive. Whatever your view on the matter, the reality is Russia controls the Crimean Peninsula. That might be a good thing, it might be a bad thing, but it is a reality.
BiH is the ONLY way I've ever seen it abbreviated. The fact that their national anthem is entitled "Državna himna Bosne i Hercegovine" should tell you something. BiH is just as legitimate as UK for the United Kingdom, IMO.
Brits really need to straight these things out. Scotland, England, Wakes, and Northern Ireland are NOT independent countries, let alone Gilbralta and other territories.
probably BiH is something else they don't want to include. I think BaH would be better. Bosnia is Herzegovina vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yeah, BiH don't make sense.
The official 3 letter abbreviation for Bosnia and Herzegovina is BIH, in every sport competition and even on their registration plates it is shown as BIH. This comes from the way Bosnia and Herzegovina is written is bosnian(serbo-croatian) Bosna i Hercegovina, therefore BIH
Great quiz. Though You need masses more time, 2+ minutes. Especially if you're one of the poor fools, like me, who has to scroll back down everytime cos they are on an Ipad.
Great idea! Thought I’d have this in the bag, but it’s much harder when you can’t see the bordering countries to place each one by location. I will keep trying ;)
Yes, I see that ........ Norway looks like the skeleton of a python ..... Finland a flamenco dancer ......Latvia a seaplane .....Lithuania a squashed map of Africa ....... Serbia a Lion Rampant ........ Malta a footprint ..........Germany a portrait looking left .......Denmark a big robot that has dropped a rock on the cat (my favourite)
Check the extra statpage, 15% cheated :( that is sad. You gain nothing by it for yourself and you ruin it for others. Why not do it honest the first time, after that you can cheat all you want because that won't affect the stats.
Though I dont feel like this one is one that would be enticing to cheat on. Did it twice just now, 1st time 28 and 2nd time got them all (after the first round I looked at the ones I missed and see if I could find distinguish features for them, "looks like a bull/lady")
Isn't part the fun checking how big or small your knowledge is? I find that more interesting than getting 100%
i was scrolling through all the comments hoping to see a 'kosovo is serbia' comment, didn't find one ;( i am sad because i love reading people arguing about kosovo.
so please someone comment your 1000 character message about why kosovo is serbia so i can laugh ;)
In this quiz Vatican is bigger then Russia.
The scale is based on military capabilities.
see it btw, and it made me laugh, hope I can unsee it !
