	Let me know if you'd like to see the countries indicated with arrows on the maps. I personally like it the way it is now because it's a little more challenging, but I'm willing to change it.

	No need for arrows, they might have just confused me. I might not have every country listed in the bank; maybe 1-2 decoys per mapshot that are in the general area. I wonder if you should number each country and ask that the player go in order; right now, the results are a little screwy: the score is right, but some of the specific answers are not correctly identified as right and wrong.

	Nice, I like it this way.

	I think you should add Malta for map 8.

	puckett86:	Aug 24th, 2012 at 00:45 GMT		3 points
	@naisel I've added Malta. Sorry about that.

	Great quiz, this is what I love about the geography section. Sure there's a bunch of 'Name the Africa countries with double consonants that start with M' but then there's those perfect difficulty quizzes like this or Tobley's flash quizzes that test actual geography knowledge. 5 globes for sure.

	Denmark should be added for map no. 4 - the Faroe Islands are in that map :-)

	Great quiz puckett86, nice mix of difficulties. Regarding egernunge's comment, if you're going to include extra-territorial entities, you'd also need UK for 15 (Gibraltar), Morocco for 11 (Western Sahara), and France for 1 (Mayotte). Personally I wouldn't include them.

	@hscer I've given some thought to adding numbers and forcing order, but I think I'm going to keep it the way it is for now. My reasoning is that it forces the quiz taker to remember what's a country and what isn't, so it doesn't give away if there are island nations, for example. I realize it screws up the results a little, but hopefully that's not too much of a problem. @egernunge I've added a note about ignoring territories.

	@puckett86 - your note is a good addition and this is a really great quiz, but France needs to be accepted for #1. Mayotte is neither a territory nor a dependency: it is an integral part of the French state in the same way Hawai'i is a part of the United States or Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. It is an overseas department of France (since sometime last year) and therefore by Sporcle standards is as much France as Paris is. It needs to be an answer for this quiz to be correct.

	PARTIAL SPOILER ALERT: For the smallest country in #13, I had the right answer in my mind but then I started saying "No, it has to be Kyrgyzstan. This is Sporcle. There's no way that's not Kyrgyzstan."

	WyvernSabres:	Aug 24th, 2012 at 17:39 GMT		9 points
	I'm puzzled that nobody else is mentioning this, but the results page is messed up for me, saying that I got countries which I didn't, and vice versa.

	citkeane:	Aug 24th, 2012 at 22:18 GMT		2 points
	Hate to find faults on such a fun quiz but there's almost certainly a part of Ireland in picture four. Around half of that section of coast is Northern Ireland but there are two bumpy bits of coastline on the left that are a part of Donegal county, which is in Ireland.

	@bsd987 I've added "overseas regions" to the note. Thanks. @WyvernSabres hscer actually mentioned the wacky scores. I could number the countries and force order to fix that, but I explained in my other comment why I chose this way. At least the overall scores are still accurate! @citkeane Wow nice catch. I moved it up a little to remove Ireland completely (apologies to the Irish).

	@bigjoeco: I thought that at first, too, but then decided "no, I know that region, that's not it" - and chose another Stan which was wrong as well. If I went down, at least I should have done so with flying Kyrgyz colors...

	@ puckett: I think BSD987 is right, Mayotte may need adding, as sporcle usually includes French Guiana. I'd missed Mayotte's updated status - sporcle may need to update a few quizzes!

	Awesome quiz, many thanks. Part two please!

	nickos:	Sep 7th, 2012 at 13:24 GMT		3 points
	Brilliant quiz, must have taken a lot of effort and well deserving of 5 globes!

	gbv:	Sep 7th, 2012 at 14:24 GMT		3 points
	The results page definitely messed up for me. I missed 6, and it has that right, but four of the six countries marked as missed are ones I got, and it says I got four that I didn't.

	I highly recommend including the overseas regions, territories, etc. Mayotte, the Faroes, Gibraltar, etc. would be tons of fun and challenging to include.

	ronnymexico:	Sep 7th, 2012 at 17:23 GMT		3 points
	Great quiz. Love the concept, my favorite new geography one in a long time. As far as the territories and overseas regions are concerned, the caveat is fine and I think it's great the way it is presently.

	meltwaterfalls:	Sep 8th, 2012 at 22:22 GMT		2 points
	Great Quiz. I like it without the territories and other bits but that is a personal preference. The only one that was a little awkward on that front was 11 with Western Sahara/Morocco, but as it was only 3 countries it was pretty clear that the shaded territory wasn't included. Great work though!

	That was awesome!! Totally loved it. Two thumbs up. Love that you actually have to know at what part of the world you are looking and not just guess random countries.

	Looked at the bottom-right corner of no.10 first and started to head for the France button, but just stopped myself in time...

	Great quiz! For some reason I always figured the Comoros were East of Madagascar far out into the Indian Ocean. Not that I was confused with the Seychelles, I knew for sure they were, just thought they both were. Oh well... sequel?
