Darn, should have looked in every Nuuk and cranny for my atlas before taking this quiz. I thought the capital of Greenland was Godthab.

Good thing the quiz doesn't say "COUNTRIES" then huh.

"Only four of these are countries" Someone has to deliver the bad news to either Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark or Iceland.

I think it is safe to say that Iceman1731's comment doesn't quite add up, since 5 of these are independent and recognized states, but the others are (as is clear in the heading of the hint box "Country/Autonomous Region") autonomous regions!

Godthab is the former official name. Now the name is changed to Nuuk, though Godthab is still used among the Danish circles.

Since you accept local spelling for Reykajvík and Tórshavn you should maybe also do so for Copenhagen. Also since Swedish is also an official language in Finland and Åland is a part of Finland you might consider accepting Helsingfors for Helsinki and Maarianhamina for Mariehamn... same would then apply for Nuuk and Godthaab.

You should accept "København" for Copenhagen and "Godthåb" for Nuuk.
