Nice quiz! What was your method for determining what counts as part of Western Europe? It's a lot more inclusive than the Western European UN statistical region https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme

Definitely should be featured, if not for a few small things. 1. I would grey out Cologne/Dusseldorf. 2. I'm unsure about Norway and Sweden, but Finland definitely shouldn't be here (It used to be part of Russia). Same for Greece. Really is up to you, although these are things to consider.

Can you also possibly include what type of population so that simple-minded people like me won't wonder why Seville isn't on here.

Finland and Greece are part of Western Europe as another featured quiz, titled Western Europe Map Quiz classify them as Western European, so I did the same with this quiz as we mostly follow featured quizzes when it comes to such defination.

Also, I added "Based on Urban Population in caveat."

Sorry to interfere, but the other quiz you based your map on is totally wrong as well...

Western Europe is a region defined by the UN Statistical Regions. This doesn't include Greece or the Nordic nations. Spain, Portugal, Iceland, Ireland and the UK aren't included either.

This region consitst of Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Monaco and Liechtenstein.

On the other hand, you can also devide Europe between east and west. Then Spain, Portugal, Ireland Sweden, Norway, Iceland and the UK can be included. Finland and Greece should definetly be excluded...

So, even if your 'sourcequiz' is wrong, that doens't mean you can change this to be correct... I also believe that you can explain your devision in the caveats.

Greetings!

To be fair, the other quiz says in the caveats that its definition is based on Cold War status.

Having visited all of these cities (other than the greyed out one) made scoring 100% easier.
