	These are the last 5 Summer Olympic host cities.

	Good point, game duly edited.

	You should accept 'vatican' for 'Vatican City' and clarify summer olympics in the title. Would also clarify your borders: Ankara is in Asia, but Turkey is a European nation, so that gets a little tricky.

	Alternate spellings for Menorca and Mallorca should be allowed ie Minorca and Majorca Good quiz otherwise. Thanks.

	I just learned there is a fourth Balearic island. Great quiz! Frankfurt Airport was a lucky one for me, I got while trying France.

Comment below threshold: show it

	@schnauzer19: I'm afraid they don't count as island nations as they both have a land border. With each other, in fact.

	DSNorth: Not sure what definition you're using, but in most reference lists of island nations, both are included...

	DSNorth:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 01:33 GMT	1 point
	I'm not sure if you're referring to the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, but Great Britain isn't a country (the United Kingdom is) and Ireland in that instance refers to the whole Irish landmass which, as we all know, is split into two separate nations (The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, part of the UK). A country cannot be an island nation if it shares a land border with another country.

	What source are you using for populations of capitals? I find it hard to believe that Ankara has a higher population than Paris, or that Madrid does in fact.

	DSNorth:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 10:11 GMT	0 points
	I source all my information for quizzes like this by going to Wikipedia (because of its easy list format) then double-checking all the numbers on various information sites such as CIA Worldbook or Encyclopedia.com. It's worth pointing out (and I will amend the game to mention this) that the figures are only for the city's main urban centres and not for its greater outlying suburbs. I suspect that Paris has a large portion of its population in said outlying suburbs, hence its absence from the list.

	good quiz, but I think that Ankara should be out since it's in Asia and most of Turkey is.

	DSNorth:	Mar 11th, 2010 at 08:58 GMT	3 points
	Turkey is an associate member of the European Union and is in negotiations to become a full member state. That's good enough for me.

	please accept "Scandes" for Scandinavian mountains, that's their actual name.

	professor88:	Mar 5th, 2011 at 18:51 GMT	1 point
	...sorry! My mistake: The English name is "Scandinavian mountains" indeed. -Just looked it up.
