Super cool as always! I definitely need to learn more about this country.

I still hope Egypt is among the next ones, when you have time.

By the way, Arts and People are in reverse order between clues and answers and it's a little bit confusing.

Egypt, Maghreb, Brazil, Indochina, Poland, former Yugoslavia—I have some ideas (but not enough time).

I've also reorganized the answer cells to try to fit all the clues and answers on a single screen. Let me know what you all think of this new layout.

Nice to hear about all those projects! I'm definitely hyped.

I'm not super convinced by the new organization, but it might just be a question of getting used to it.

Great quiz! Just one thing, Teotihuacan wasn't an Aztec city, the Aztecs weren't even a thing when it was abandoned.

Great series, nominated all quizzes. Hope they'd all be featured and perhaps even collected into a new "on a map" badge.

If the question is "Canyon system...", then "Copper" should be an acceptable answer. You don't generally have to repeat part of the name that's given in the question.
