I can see why you may not want it, as it is very different to your normal style, but I don't feel it right to just effortlessly get a quiz like that. But if you have no solution other than that and don't want the quiz at all, I suppose that it may be the only way. So do I proceed with collabing you?

I'll see how I feel in a few days, if I have the same feeling I'll inform you. If you don't want it either I can just keep it.

I think you should clarify the "Connected to the Mainland" question somewhat. It was founded on islands that didnt connect to the mainland, so historically it wasnt and the question is phrased in the past tense. Today it is through a dam/bridge. I knew that but i felt the question is ambiguous

Yes, and that's also why Elon Musk is planning to move his government office to Venice, so he can be the Doge of DOGE! ;)

Venice did not conquer Constantinople... it sent a crusader army there, who did conquer the city and establish a new independent kingdom - which Venice was fond of, but did not control.

The city that was actually conquered by Venice was Zara (current Zadar).

Nevertheless, the clue understandable, so it's fine to keep it like this.
