Cool! I might recommend changing some of the close-to-green colors. It's quite hard to tell when they do/don't light up in some of the cases.

Great quiz, but I'm not a big fan of "city proper" populations.

Here we don't get Manila, but Quezon City instead. We also have to name random suburbs for places like Mexico City, Cairo, Johannesburg etc.

Still a great quiz, shame it can't be nominated.

My first choice is not city proper either, but with how cities of various different sizes and from every corner of the world are included in this list, metro area population is not available for all the subregions. so for consistency's sake, I am using city proper throughout the quiz

I LOVE the idea. Metros would be better than city proper, and the color of the dots is frustrating on some of the regions.

Great quiz idea! Gotta agree with the comments on the use of city proper.

I would say that almost every country doesn't use city proper population as the go to metric. At a quick glance, the UK and Australia are not using city proper statistics otherwise Sydney would have ~250k, and London 15k.

Fantastic idea!
