Can you perhaps give 5 more seconds? Other than that good quiz.

I think the reason why the rating is so low relates to its difficulty. From my experiences, people tend to give a lower rating to quizzes which they do poorly on, however if the quiz has a good concept/map (i.e. IAB's subdivision quizzes), they'll still give a high rating. But I'm not 100% sure if it applies to this quiz, given the fact that GeoPhilia's 'save humanity' quizzes have high ratings.

Also, there are some people who are philosophically opposed to lightning-fast typing quizzes, seeing them as pointless.

Generally, people give quizzes low rating because a) they do poorly on it or b) it has something they don't like, for example, Cyprus is in europers might give the Which continent is Cyprus in lower ratings.

I don't think that there is really anything you can do about it.

I think the quiz would be better if you would use the Lime Green Party and the Perriwinkle Party instead of making it a partisan quiz. Also, seeing that you might want it featured some day, I think that might be a bit of a problem, because the Quizmaster doesn't approve of partisan content.

Missouri and Virginia are as they were at the time, and actually this map is an adaptation of the official U.S. map. I didn't think people would mind supporting politicians that were from so long ago, but I'll consider changing it to Lime Green and Periwinkle. Thanks for your answer.

Oh no, I did not think that there was a mistake with your depiction of MO and VI, I meant, that if you were to use the jetpunk US map, you would have to change the states there, to represent the correct time, which on the current map, is displayed. My suggestions in the second comment were purely of aesthetic nature.

I used the word "new", because QM only recently made it.

Another thought. Maybe you could use the new US map, where many borders are vertical lines, and therein remove the new states and fix Missouri and Virginia.

Just made the cut with 131. Guess Jackson is only average. (The average score is 130, so on average, we all did as good as Jackson

Crazy how quickly Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee gained population.

I'm currently reading the book 1776 by David McCullough. Highly recommend by the way. Even as early as 1776, you could see how America was on the path to becoming the world's most powerful nation. It was already arguably the richest country per capita. And the population was growing at a rate which was simply ridiculous.

Until the Civil War, the population grew at 35% per decade. Good thing we slowed down, otherwise the population of the US would be over 4 billion today.

Fun fact: this was the first presidential election where most states used the modern method of electing electors statewide.

Congratulations. If you feel like typing 11 letters per second you will get them all. Somewhere around 222 letters, spaces not included.
