	This has been done many times, and it's Algeria, not Algiera.

	Hm, I didn't see where it's been done except by continent. Thanks for catching the spelling error, it's been corrected. I guess I had "Algiers" on the brain.

	You also mispelled Britain about a million times! : ) Other than that, I liked it.

	oh crap! that's what i get for copy/pasting. i'll fix it, thanks! :P

	For a while there, I automatically typed UK, and only read the clue if that didn't work.

	UK should count for Cameroon, as part of Cameroon was British Cameroons.

	cuendilar - I do the same thing and it's my quiz...sun never sets on the British empire johnlk - good call, I'll make the change. I thought all of British Cameroons had been incorporated into Nigeria (like British Togoland into Ghana) but I see I was mistaken. Thanks!
