	Nice quiz, but you should probably skip some of the capitals on the sequel. I got all of them only because I was a loser and finished the world capitals quiz! If they were just big cities sans capitals, though, this sporcler would have been stumped on several!

	Good one!

	MovieDynamic:	May 29th, 2009 at 08:30 GMT	3 points
	Wow, a lot harder than expected!

	GeoExpert:	May 29th, 2009 at 08:32 GMT	17 points
	@TheReaver88: Thanks for the suggestion. I have a sequel planned and looks like I will be editing it and taking out some of the capitals except for the really really tiny countries. Capitals do make it a bit easier.

	20/24. Missed the little countries. The rest were too easy with the capitals listed.

	For Kenya, the city is spelled "Mombasa", not "Mombassa".

	debbiedoesnothin:	May 29th, 2009 at 08:50 GMT	22 points
	Fun quiz, GeoExpert. I agree with leaving off some of the capitals.

	Scotto263:	May 29th, 2009 at 09:01 GMT	0 points
	Yo it would be cool if it was the 3 largest cities in these countries what is the country, sort of like an inverse of the largest cities in one country thing

	zalagreensbury:	May 29th, 2009 at 09:07 GMT	29 points
	Everytime I see a geo quiz my heart skips a beat! ^_^

	GeoExpert:	May 29th, 2009 at 09:13 GMT	4 points
	@Scotto263: Some of these are the 3 largest cities (ex: Israel), others are not (Fez is not the 3rd largest in Morocco). I wanted some variety so I told myself it does not neccesarily have to be the three largest cities. The sequel will likely not have as many of the capitals, based on the requests via comments

for kyrgyzstan i guessed every -stan country except the right one. alot of them you could figure out what region generally, but the country was a different story. great geog quiz

	weizenugb:	May 29th, 2009 at 09:39 GMT	15 points
	Yeah I like this quiz a lot because I am one of the many geography nuts on Sporcle, but I def agree that you should stay away from the capitals, since I think most of us have them all memorized. But great idea for a quiz, I really liked it.

	marpocky:	May 29th, 2009 at 09:39 GMT	5 points
	This is a fun quiz, but the description made it sound like it would be super hard. Anybody who can finish the countries or capitals quiz can probably knock this out in under 2 minutes.

	springmom:	May 29th, 2009 at 09:43 GMT	1 point
	Need another one and it needs to be harder. Way too much time left.

	Zazu:	May 29th, 2009 at 09:51 GMT	20 points
	kyrgyzstan yz gyreat

	jmarshallg:	May 29th, 2009 at 10:07 GMT	1 point
	Got all but Palau and Guinea. I can never remember all of Africa's or Oceania's capitals.

	Great quiz, pretty easy. Look forward to sequels to this, without the capitals.

	Dummo:	May 29th, 2009 at 11:10 GMT	2 points
	I found it difficult. At least some capitals should be included so that other people other than geography nerds can at least have fun with thise quiz also. Making it too difficult takes the fun away for a lot of users.

	cocky:	May 29th, 2009 at 11:17 GMT	4 points
	Thanks for putting Iasi, Romania on the list. My son was born there.

	I say this at the risk of sounding cocky, and I do apologize, but for people like me who have the world capitals "Nailed," this is incredibly easy, and I agree that having the three largest cities BESIDES the capital would make for a fantastic quiz.

	Escaho:	May 29th, 2009 at 12:01 GMT	7 points
	This quiz was awesome. I was stuck on the "Koror" and "Airai" one, knowing that I had heard those cities before. Once I saw the answer, I realized those were the tribe names on one of the seasons of Survivor. facepalm

	marky:	May 29th, 2009 at 12:29 GMT	6 points
	thanks geoexpert was good fun trying to guess the palau one. I thought it might an oceania country but i couldnt guess the right one. I managed to spell philippines and kyrgyzstan correctly for once too which is rare for me

	theluggage:	May 29th, 2009 at 12:40 GMT	1 point
	Nice ickle quiz \|:) It was nice to complete a quiz for once, after some of the geo ones on this site! I agree including the capitals makes it a little too easy. I would of finished with lots of time left but it took me 4 minutes to spell Kyrgyzstan >.

	ZeZapatiste:	May 29th, 2009 at 12:47 GMT	8 points
	I would never have guessed Kyrgyzstan and Palau... But I'm proud to have found St Kitts. Geo quizes are always interesting, thank you !

	brownowl:	May 29th, 2009 at 12:48 GMT	9 points
	I was just about to say how difficult I found that, then read all the comments asking for it to be made harder! How about an easy and a hard version next time? Or maybe I just need to go away and read an atlas :-)

	Koror and Airai from Survivor haha. Only ones I missed were St. Kitts and Guinea.

	juusosieni:	May 29th, 2009 at 15:10 GMT	1 point
	I only missed St. Kitts and Nevis and Guinea too, this quiz was great.

	Kiribati:	May 29th, 2009 at 15:39 GMT	3 points
	Thank you! Good quiz as I have done countires of world but not capitals so I really enjoyed it!

	chambers:	May 29th, 2009 at 15:44 GMT	1 point
	like these quizzes. got some of the obscurities but not palau :(

	kyle:	May 29th, 2009 at 16:02 GMT	1 point
	I was happy with 10 as I thank Football for my geographical knowledge. Should have got Belarus though

	MrEnglishman:	May 29th, 2009 at 16:11 GMT	2 points
	Good quiz. I agree with the comments about a sequel not featuring capital cities. Maybe one based on the second largest cities?

	GeordieGuitarist:	May 29th, 2009 at 16:35 GMT	2 points
	I was very smug when i got the first nine. Then downhill after that, i only got five more. Truly shocking knowledge of African cities.
