Indeed, the Balkans was pretty much where I lost that 19%. 🙁

Of course, mixing up Estonia and Latvia didn't help.

It was sooo much easier when they were all just Yugoslavia eh? "😉
As for Estonia and Latvia , ya throw in Lithuania and it's like Canada, USA and Mexico...what's the order from top to bottom or bottom to top.

Did you know this is precisely the number of people in Missouri who voted for Republican Wendall Willkie in the 1940 US presidential election?

I did not but as my dad always said, "GBS try to learn something new each day." You have done that for me today and for that I thank you.
Edit: Would he have actually beaten Truman in '48 instead of Dewey not doing so? "😉

It's possible, he sure didn't have a snowball's chance against Roosevelt.

I haven't tried yet - the former Yugoslavia is difficult to sort out without a proper map.

100% in 1:44 ... ok that was on the third attempt but still 😵

First time around was 74%... should of been higher but meh. Damn Eastern Europe...

Turns out I know South/Central America better than Europe.

53% in Africa, not bad.

Only 51% in Asia 😳 Didn't know where Kuwait was and I've been there 😵 Need to improve that me thinks.

It's confusing how they lumped Scotland, England and Wales together under "United Kingdom". Most Americans at least made an effort to separate those.

Scotland, England and Wales are Great Britain, not the United Kingdom. The UNited KIngdon is Great Brtitain and Northern Ireland.

I feel confident that if the above is wrong, it would be corrected.

This is how it is:

Britain: England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland.

Great Britain: England, Scotland and Wales.

United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland.

British Isles: England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland and Republic of Ireland.
