Okay, a bit niggly, but why does Mauritania appear after Niger in the bordering country list?

If you know all the capitals of all countries recognised by jetpunk, it's quite an easy starter. Lots of jetpunk quizzers know this stuff.

On a site full of people doing geography quizzes?

It's not exactly a random sample.

Same. Even though it's pretty accurate, I was hoping it wouldn't be accepted. I'd rather not get the point than have it refered to as being made from mud.

I think "Greenwich" should be considered for the Prime Meridian. There are even multiple prime meridians on Earth, not just the GMT one.

Yeah, I tried “Greenwich” as well. Google tells me they are different though, that may be why QM doesn't accept it as a type in.

This quiz was much to easy. Having all the neighbouring states be asked and then ask things like Sahara and Sahel, which seem to be a part of the "JetPunk-Basic-Knowledge-Starter-Pack" doesn't leave much room for in depth questions on Mali.

French is no longer Mali's official language. It was changed to Bambara, a Malian native language in January 2022 by the military government. You should change that answer on the quiz.

Honestly, it feels kind of lazy to put these long lists of bordering countries on country quizzes. It's just a way to artificially add more answers to the quiz without finding any actual interesting info.
