	Fine. Except that according to other Sporcle games (world capitals, etc.), Wikipedia, and other sources, the capitals of Palau and Tonga are not Koror and Vaiaku but Melekeok and Funafuti. Also, it would be interesting to have a few atypical statistics, such as crime rate, or number of McDonalds, or most symphonies.

	Please allow just 'Angel' for highest waterfall.

	Great quiz! few corrections - 1. Koror is not a capital, not of Palau (Melekeok-by Sporcle convention), Micronesia (Palikir), or the Philippines (Manila). 2. While Vaiaku village happens to be where government buildings are located, the whole of Funafuti is the capital of Tuvalu (not Tonga), as balatjr mistakenly typo'd. 3. I would drop the question about members of the UN as there are a number of countries which are not members, normally because of varying degrees of recognition. Kosovo, for example, is recognized by more countries than Taiwan, but it also is not a member. 4. While Sucre is a secondary national capital, Sporcle convention defines La Paz as the capital of Bolivia in the capitals of the world quiz. I point to sporcle convention because (for better or worse), it makes the quiz taking predictable. Otherwise, we end up having to guess what particular idiosyncracies each quiz writer has as to secondary capitals, what is the 'real' capital of palau, whether Kosovo, Taiwan, Abhkazia, Western Sahara are countries, etc.

	The quiz is somewhat repetitive, having 'Vatican City' appearing 5 times as an answer. Plus, there are many very debatable answers, like Qatar and Monaco having a higher GNI per capita, and whether Mount Elbrus is actually in Europe, and whether Zimbabwe has the lowest GNI per capita.

	Palau is not in Asia, and Koror is not the capital. Melekeok should be down as the smallest capital in the world and Oceania with a population of 371.

	"British Isles" is not a single island (a fact that should be self-evident by the "s" on the end of "Isles"). That should be changed simply to Britain. Also, when did Paris supplant Moscow as Europe's most populous capital?

	I would think you should accept 'Tierra del Fuego'. Also, Palau is definitely not part of Asia. Otherwise, there are a few unnecessary repetitions, but overall a good quiz! :)
