| Great quiz. One nitpicky comment - not sure how you account for the German medals. The FRG (West Germany) expanded after the fall of communism to incorporate the defunct GDR (East Germany), but Cold War West Germany and current Germany are the same country. Also, unclear if the pre-WWII German medals are counted in the "Germany" count. Certainly there is less of a connection with, say, Nazi Germany and current Germany (totally different governments) as there is between the old West Germany and current Germany (same government, just expanded to include more territory). I would put a note saying former countries that have joined together are listed as one country and then put all the German medals together. That wouldn't require you lump Russia and USSR because that was a break-up, not a union, and it is impossible to determine whether a USSR medal should count toward Russia, Ukraine, or any other former soviet republic. So I think it is correct to list those separately. But the German medals should all be listed together. |
