	Great game, more games like this one. But shouldn't we count the whole Brussels region as a city? Can't we count the Brussels region as a municipality containing several sub-municipalities?

	If I type "The" I get Brussels. Which is cool, but... Also typing "Prag" gives Prague, which is a pain when typing fast.

	Thanks for your feedback! I don't think the whole Brussels region shoult be counted as a city, since it is more of a metropolitan area. "Prag" gives Prague because I included the German names as well. I fixed the "the"-thing, thanks for noticing.

	Handle Brussels as you wish. But remember that just as "Brussels-Stad" is a city that is a piece of Brussels, "City of London" is a city that is a piece of "Greater London" (and only 7K in population).

	@Krazy19Karl: I don't think these two can be compared. The City of Brussels is a "municipality" and has a different standing. I was rather thinking about this: If there were no ethnic problems in Belgium, there wouldn't be the three regions, but only the ten provinces. What would then happen with the Brussels Region? Currently there is surely a government of the region. In the hypothetical new situation there would also have to be a government. The region would probably become a single municipality and a province, too. For example in Germany, Berlin is a single municipality and one of the federal states. So I guess that the current municipalities would turn into boroughs and together form a single municipality.

	Nice quiz, Cap, but I think it would be improved if you could find a source other than wikipedia and link to it. Sporcle isn't big on wikipedia as a source. Sites like geonames, citypopulation.de etc. are usually preferred, or even look at the sources from the wikipedia page that you used and link directly to that. You can use various sources and list them in the Source Name box but link to the main one with most of the data.

	Ahh this again ! The figure for Brussels is just Brussels municipality which is in Brussels City - there are 17 municipalities in the city and so Brussels has more than 150,000 people.. The comparison with the City of London by Krazy19Karl is pretty much correct

	I think using citypopulation.de has become the main and most widely accepted population source for Sporcle - using it would be in the line with other quizes. Now Poland got probably a couple of cities too many there. Hence, only four shiny balls, otherwise, five.
