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

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

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.
