	It's weird to see a quiz that I played over three years ago only now get published.

	I would like to thank Disney for helping me get Peru :)

	Well I was cocky for all of about 4 questions.

	The Malagasies sure do have a way with words.

	mikeindex:	Apr 28th, 2013 at 07:39 GMT		13 points
	@antoniobroto Probably because there are only 35 questions in the quiz.

	matt01:	Apr 28th, 2013 at 09:30 GMT		9 points
	I'd rather pretend Essex wasn't a part of my country, frankly. Imagine a British version of New Jersey.

	Welius:	Apr 28th, 2013 at 09:49 GMT		13 points
	Nobody else? Ok I will post what everybody bothers: why no Kyrgyzstan?

	Reubs_Chem_Rb:	Apr 28th, 2013 at 09:55 GMT		21 points
	The only reason I managed to get Madagascar is that with 4 a's in the country's name, and 4 a's in its capital (Antananarivo), the clues Antsinanana, Bongolava, Analamanga could only be one thing..

	WyattsTorch:	Apr 28th, 2013 at 13:31 GMT		15 points
	Could have sworn that Analamanga was a fetishist region in Japan...

	Limburg, Limburg! It's always about LIMBURG.

	robhop:	Apr 28th, 2013 at 15:03 GMT		6 points
	This is one of the best quizzes I have played in quite some time. JulieD.....I'm giving you much props for this one. This one is definitely going on my favorites.

	I think it would've been difficult to include Vatican City in this quiz.

	AAJP:	Apr 28th, 2013 at 15:38 GMT		5 points
	@pi314159: I suppose you could have "Sistine Chapel, Apostolic Palace, Saint Peter's Square" as the clue! (just kidding)

	@matt01 - Have you ever been to Essex. I live in Essex. If I were to go to every part of the county with 1000 residents, and pick out the first 100 people that walked past me, 1 or maybe 2 of them would be one of the stereotypes that are portrayed on "The Only Way Is Essex". If you can't work out that this is stereotyping designed to make a TV show to make big viewing audiences because it is light-hearted and doesn't take much concentration, and that very few of us are like the depictions of the characters, then I pity you.

	Twigs:	Apr 28th, 2013 at 16:38 GMT		3 points
	I too live in Essex and I agree with THECLEVERONE that only a small percent of people here are the stereotype TOWIE popularised.

	sconeyj:	Apr 28th, 2013 at 20:54 GMT		7 points
	@TheCleverone - I also hail from Essex. If you can't work out that what matt01 said was a light-hearted bit of humour, not designed as a personal attack or a slur, then I pity you.

	Japan should have had Kanto, and Romania should have had Transylvania. That would make it easier.

	phibbyfan:	Apr 29th, 2013 at 14:18 GMT		4 points
	@mewmdude77, "Kanto" is the Japanese equivalent of "Midwest" as an American "region". This quiz uses states, provinces, prefectures, etc. as its regions, so the Japanese are prefectures. Anyway, FUKUSHIMA is one of the Japanese examples. That should be a dead giveaway considering how much it was in the news, and nearly 90% of people got Japan, so I don't think it can get much easier...

	Is it too much for me to pat myself on the back for a job well done here?

	skaara:	Apr 29th, 2013 at 18:38 GMT		2 points
	I don't know how it happened but I managed to get all off them. It's a brilliant quiz with loads of tiny clues so that you can get countries without ever knowing any of the three regions. Loved it.
