Very nice idea! I like this quiz.

Maybe it'd be good to have some criteria on what is a "major city" (like why antwerpen or Ahmedabad aren't considered major cities, but agadez or Antofagasta are ?), is it only cities that have a subdivision names after them?

Also you may have forgotten astana as a capital city.

Thank you for the review i'll make sure to check if I forgot those cities. (What I meant by "major city" is any "big" city that's not a capital

Also i should check if i added Austin.

Not sure that there is an Antarctic Ocean - I think it's called the Southern Ocean. Anyway I tried typing Antarctic and that didn't work. Also why do subdivisions of the USA seem to work OK whilst those of, say, France don't? And I agree with previous comments asking for more clarity on the criteria for inclusion when it comes to cities.

I don't know i'll check for spelling errors on the antarctic ocean

The reason that happened is because the major city/subdivisions are according to the ones from a different quiz (can't remember the name of it lol)

I found these subdivisions that appear not to be in the list: Aleppo, Aden, Archangel, Asturias and Amur (oblast).

Astana still isn't in it.

Can "Arafura", "Aland" and "Azov" be accepted (added as type-ins)? And "Antarctic", although it might be better just to delete that.

Level 38

May 10, 2026

I don't think i will add those because there are hundreds of subdivisions

also these are based of the subdivisions that are in the all first level subdivisons of the world with a map

OK, fair enough. Those ones I listed are in that quiz you mentioned, by the way (all the 1st level regions are).

Maybe it could be split by continent instead, with one quiz for Europe-A, one for Africa-A, etc.
