The final question isn't making sense to me. When Bougainville becomes an independent country, it will immediately become the newest country of the 21st Century. Bar none.

You're right, of course. The question was upside down. Thanks.

Neat quiz. One quibble about question 7, though. I don't think the German Empire ever controlled Angola (it was a Portuguese colony until it became independent), but the Germans did control the territory that would become Namibia. Is that perhaps what you had intended instead of Angola?

Yes, stupid mistake, was meant to be Namibia. Thanks for pointing it out!

For the elevation question, you're missing a space in EastTimor.

With the first capital alphabetically question, their current capital is Buka, not Arawa, so there should be more countries before them there.

I might be wrong, but it sounds like the capital will become Arawa when/if they gain independence.

That's what I read. It's a future projecting quiz as per the instructions. If it turns out different will change it.

Glad you liked them. Stats were a bit hard to find so had to get a bit creative with what I had.

It is quite evident that Buka is indeed the capital of Bougainville.

But it likely won't be upon independence. Read the comments above.

Buka is the capital, Arawa is the most famous city.

Why does it not accept the city names for the capital question?

Because it's a quiz about naming countries that beat Bougainville as per the title and instructions. (This is normal for these quizzes.)
