I think including overseas territories makes this quiz pointless...

^^^ Agreed. I note that overseas Antarctic territories haven't been included - surely it has to be all or none.

There's a convention within Sporcle to not use overeas territories. Otherwise, no-one will get that Norway is further south than New Zealand. It would work much better under conventional rules

Right guys, it's all fixed. I did wonder when I started making this quiz whether to include overseas territories, and clearly I made the wrong choice :) sorry about that, anyway it's all fixed now. PS. Hopefully the rating may go up slightly now.... :)

Strange that sporcle convention is not to use overseas territories, with the exception of Greenland to Denmark.

Same comment as on the northern one - would be better to hide the latitude until the answer is revealed. Showing it as a hint makes this far too easy.

Is it typical for people to be remotely familiar with the latitudes countries fall on? I know I'm not. Obviously that means I don't mind if people want them hidden, I'm just curious.

I tried Botswana and Bolivia for B and kept wondering what could be more southern... I should spent less time on Sporcle.

I missed South Africa only - despite typing Swaziland THREE TIMES because I was convinced the 'S' country had to be in Southern Africa and couldn't work out where else it would be!

I really really wanted that M to be Madagascar and it left me stumped the whole time.

bsd987, Greenland is more than just a territory of Denmark, it's an integral part along with the Faeroe Islands.

Should allow "Dem Rep Congo"

It allows DRC and that's much easier to type.

I agree that including territories is wrong, but Réunion is just part of France, not a territiory, and it's further South than Fiji, so France is the most southerly country beginning with F.

I find it amazing that Japan is further North than Jamaica. Also I would have guessed Djibouti being further south than DRC. Not questioning the correctness of the answers as better geographical minds than me would have mentioned it by now. Was just the first reactions that came into my head when doing the quiz.

Most quizzes on here seem to allow both DRC and Dem Rep Congo.

Republic of Congo is South of Rwanda. I don't particularly like it, but the convention on Sporkle (I believe) is that Rep of Congo counts as an R country.

Ditto @ hotrod14! Good quiz! I always have to remind myself that, on the whole, South America is further south than Africa. After all, from plate tectonic theory we know that SA's bulgy part has to fit inside Africa's denty part. (Ooh! That almost sounds naughty!)

@urbanmapper - You are correct, as far as I can tell. That should be fixed.

Ditto for being surprised at Madagascar being further south than Mozambique. Great quiz!
