	Thanks to everyone for suggestions (and very flattering comments) on previous quizzes! I have added a question mark that brings up clearer instructions as well as a way to handle the smaller countries better to make this sync up with the official European countries quiz by containing all 47. Now I can sleep...

	Dear lord was luxembourg hard to place

	manonthemoon:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 10:11 GMT		22 points
	Thanks for taking the time to produce these. I'm assuming they're not easy to make! 5 globes & a nom, obviously.

	ImpromptuJ:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 13:08 GMT		8 points
	I don't know why I was so certain this would be easier than Africa. African nations like Zambia and Namibia may be relatively obscure, but at least they have big, obvious shapes to work with...

	It really helps to just upsize and rotate every country before placing it to make them easier to recognize. More than once did that turn a Rorschach inkblot into a well known country.

	WackyZacky:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 15:55 GMT		4 points
	Wow, this was harder than I expected, it's much easier with the size and rotation fix. This was the most enjoyable quiz of the series and yet another five globes + favorite :) Would puzzles for Asia, South America and Oceania be too much of an ask?

	Teary_Ennui:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 19:16 GMT		22 points
	Great work! Would have been easier in 1989!

	Nice job on the small countries

	cubsmets1:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 22:48 GMT		2 points
	love these quizzes

	Dr_Nibbles:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 23:04 GMT		5 points
	Really nice, totally been looking forward to this one, since I'm European and grew up with this map the same way as Americans with the US states. But I was still amazed, how hard it was after all. Great job. The idea with the small countries as well a very good idea, those would have been impossible to place otherwise (Luxembourg and the Balkan states were really hard as it is anyways).

	Fantastic stuff, again. It's amazing how unrecognisable some of these countries are out of context. I could draw a decent Germany from memory but I couldn't pick out the upside-down Germany on this puzzle if you gave me a thousand euros.

	Ulkomaalainen:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 14:55 GMT		17 points
	Yes, knowing your borders ain't the hard thing. It's more like "Okay, first I'll place the easy ones, giving me borders for the harder ones. Let's start with Germany. looks left where the heck is it?" (minute later) "Okay, did not find Germany, but I think that's the UK there." Also, some countries are really hard without rotational or size context - mixed up Albania and Sweden for a short time. Another fav, another five. Only thing I maybe like to be changed is slightly stronger colors. As is, it is sometimes hard to see the exact line between a country and the background.

	Wonderful work - thank you, loved it.

	thebronze:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 16:23 GMT		1 point
	fantastic!

	ArtFever:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 16:49 GMT		5 points
	I keep confusing Serbia with Slovakia, and Belgium with B&H. Doesn't help that they also start with the same letter...

	JayZed:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 20:44 GMT		3 points
	Brilliant. I haven't even tried the quiz yet but I already know I'm going to love it. Keep 'em coming!

	JayZed:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 21:17 GMT		3 points
	Done it now. It was really easy. To start with. And then it got harder, and harder...

	Mirrorboy:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 21:58 GMT		2 points
	This quiz is genuinely amazing - thanks for making it!

	ArtFever:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 22:26 GMT		5 points
	Looks like you misspelled Herzegovina with an -ia ending. Minor nitpicking, I know.

	Riko:	Dec 3rd, 2011 at 01:13 GMT		8 points
	Man, Luxembourg is just torture! I think I spent a full minute trying to get it lined up just right. Another great quiz! 5/5

	kcostell:	Dec 3rd, 2011 at 01:25 GMT		11 points
	My eternal thanks for not making us rotate Vatican City.

	otis89:	Dec 3rd, 2011 at 01:45 GMT		2 points
	As usual, an awesome quiz! Please keep making these!

	PumaGirl03:	Dec 3rd, 2011 at 22:57 GMT		2 points
	I LOVE these quizzes, but I keep having problems seeing the whole thing. :-/ Is there anyway to fix that? Even if I F11 the screen, it still doesn't work.

	survivorfan2000:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 03:40 GMT		2 points
	I love this game.

	mrsmith:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 06:29 GMT		5 points
	Great game. I used to feel nothing but pure indifference towards Luxembourg. Now I hate it!!!

	vikingsfan28:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 18:58 GMT		-2 points
	Is anyone else experiencing problems rotating and sizing the countries on a laptop?

	BombaySapphire:	Dec 5th, 2011 at 00:27 GMT		9 points
	I kept trying and trying to place Malta in one certain spot in the Mediterranean and was ready to give up, and then the fruit fly on my monitor flew away.

	Inferno5390:	Dec 5th, 2011 at 06:49 GMT		3 points
	This was a lot of fun! You should make ones for Asia/South America/etc. when you have time!

	iknow:	Dec 5th, 2011 at 07:57 GMT		3 points
	This was, again, all kinds of awesome! I started out really confident, thinking this would be a lot easier than the other puzzles for a European like me. I got the easy ones quickly but then it got harder and harder and the Balkans were a nightmare. This quiz would have been a lot easier 25 years ago! Oh and thanks for not making us rotate and resize the mini-countries!

	TreehuggnCowgirl:	Dec 5th, 2011 at 23:49 GMT		2 points
	As if the world needed another reason to dislike the balkans ;)

	vaftrudner:	Dec 6th, 2011 at 09:49 GMT		3 points
	YES! Finally a perfect score, with 6 seconds to spare! I'm shaking. One of the best quizzes I've played! Thank you!

	vaftrudner:	Dec 8th, 2011 at 08:19 GMT		3 points
	By the way tobley, you're already my hero for your wonderful quizzes, but if you find the time to make one of these for Asia, I'll upgrade you to superhero.

	cuendillar:	Dec 8th, 2011 at 12:39 GMT		3 points
	I wasn't so worried about rotating the Vatican. However, finding the hole for it would have been a nightmare. Hmm, Rome's about here - let's zoom in max and scroll till we find a barely visible gap in Italy to put it in and hope we start reasonably close. I certainly didn't look forward to that!

	Dralcoffin:	Dec 10th, 2011 at 01:02 GMT		1 point
	Anyone else overjoyed when Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic were all the right size to start with?

	ballabosh:	Dec 10th, 2011 at 05:28 GMT		1 point
	The first time I played one of these, I was like this is crazy stupid, mostly because I didn't know what I was doing. Now I'm addicted. I've played them all and I want more. In this one, for the life of me, I could not find Poland! Great job!

	beastlybeast:	Dec 10th, 2011 at 05:52 GMT		2 points
	I love these. Doing this in under 10 mins (8:55) was quite exhilarating! Keep them coming. Countries of the world would be amazing and addictive.

	i just noticed that finland is shaped liked a ballerina

	Svaras:	Dec 15th, 2011 at 08:59 GMT		2 points
	Yes! Finally got it all in under 10 minutes! These are great puzzles, now I finally know the actual shape and size of the countries instead of just their names and general location. Great job, can't wait to (hopefully) see more.
