This is really well-made, and I'm shocked there's not already a featured quiz with this concept. Spotlighted!!

This featured quiz is pretty similar. Top 100 instead of top 86. This non-featured quiz is essentially the same thing.

I knew this quiz seemed familiar! I must have done the one that's out of 87 because it includes Hawaii as North America.

Having the subdivision borders is such a nice touch, although I'm a big fan of the top 100 quiz too. Honolulu is no longer considered a 1million+ city on citypopulation.de so technically Hawaii is not excluded here.

Also Hawaii isn't even part of North America, so Honolulu shouldn't be included here anyways

There are several differences actually. Perhaps they use different sources?

Juarez is hidden under El Paso and the US-Mexico border. You need to create some separation, like you have with San Diego and Tijuana.
