I would consider Istanbul in Europe

Even then, the Asian portion of Istanbul is still the largest city in Western Asia. Although judging by the map, it appears that all of Turkey is included in Western Asia.

Really? Melanesia, Micronesia, AND Polynesia? All necessary?

The UK should be part of Western Europe not Northern Europe

Again, please check the source link. The UN lists the UK under Northern Europe.

Interesting that the UN doesn't consider Hawaii (or New Zealand) part of Polynesia. So much for indigenous peoples!

Well, I did have Honolulu put down as the largest city in Polynesia, but the UN does not make any mention of it for some reason.

It was an easy ride until Micronesia and Polynesia appeared.

Wow, the Micronesia answer really had a lot of people stumped. Sorry guys! It is the largest city in that region of the planet.

I don't see why Micronesia/Polynesia/Melanesia can't be combined into one overarching Pacific Islands region. Then again, I don't work for the UN.

Good quiz. I feel a bit bad missing Polynesia. Micronesia on the other hand I would never have got in a million years because I'm not familiar with the villages on Guam.

To be honest, I had never heard of Dededo either. I was going to put Honolulu, although the UN doesn't list Hawaii under Micronesia, which is strange.

The link did NOT mention which region Hawaii is in. Based on purely geographical information, Hawaii would probably be in Polynesia, and so Honolulu would be the largest city there. Unless the UN has specifically placed Hawaii in North America (which I don't think it has) then you should change the Polynesia answer to Honolulu.
