Name all 50 states in the USA. Easy, right?
Can you guess the countries that have these flags?
With the help of a map, can you name the countries which existed during the Revolution of 1848?
Drag the flag onto the correct state. Careful, though! One wrong move and the game ends.

I expanded it from the top 5 cities to the top 10 cities per state and I updated the population numbers with the latest estimates.

Glad you liked it!
