I love this! I will take it sometime in the future for sure.

Is it okay for you if I still make Geography and History of Former Countries on a Map? If you want I can provide screenshots that I did actually have this idea before this quiz was released. I don't want this to turn into a race of who can make Geography and History of [Former Country] on a Map. It's fine by me if we both make Geography and History of Austria-Hungary on a Map since we have different hints, different selections of answers and different styles. Also, if you want to make History and Geography of the Soviet Union on a Map, feel free to, I'd be interested to see your version of it.

Well the idea is originally yours, so feel free to continue. I was thinking of doing the Swedish Empire or the German Empire afterwards, but it's going to take a while.
