Surely there's a better clue for Siena than 'Tuscan city'.

Especially since Pisa is also a Tuscan city. But great quiz nevertheless!

I'd suggest changing Siena for Split (and the clue for Croatian city) to solve the ambiguity and make the test more varied.

I'd also suggest changing "spit" (least guessed answer) by "latin"

I believe it was originally only used to refer to the Alps but nowadays the meaning has bled across to mean anything to do with mountains.

I did have the same thought though, although the phrasing is vague enough that it could mean Alps by "the mountains" (would be a better clue without Alps already being an answer, if that was intentional).

Palestine isn´t an actual location since its not a recognized country, despite having the Palestinian National Authority that governs the Gaza strip -specially since its a territory in dispute- and other territories.

Except for Spain and Nepal, none of the answers are recognised countries, yet, somehow, only Palestine bothers you?

The prompt says "9-world location." Doesn't it seem odd that the answer isn't a location that physically exists in the world? It may be a politically unpopular to say so among some circles, but it's no more real than Sleeping Beauty's castle or Aurendelle.

It's very confusing. Instead of "9-letter world location," it might be better to label the prompt as "political aspiration" or simply "imaginary country."

Don’t be completely ridiculous. I will say that I would struggle to classify Palestine as a sovereign nation as they lack a central governance structure and do not control a large portion of their land. I honestly kind of believe the same thing about Somalia and other failed states, but people would be all up in arms over that discussion. Anyway, Palestine most certainly a place and has a historical basis in the Palestine mandate under the British Empire, and if it’s imaginary, why did 160+ countries really recognize a non-existent place?

the whole palestine stuff is just uncalled for. in the netherlands we have almost more turks / moroccans than actual dutch people. there's a church and a mosque in the same street. and do we bomb eachother? no

Because of the map of places you've been it's a couple countries and a few of the United States, including....🥁🥁🥁🥁....Colorado.

Perhaps you visited a gift shop and picked up some souvenir question marks.

I think having both "alps" and "alpine" is a bit duplicative. How about "tinsel" instead of one of them?

I love these, nice mix of brain activities!

One little thing though - "Swiss peaks" looks like it's asking for something specific to Switzerland. Austria has both a much higher percentage of the Alps in its territory and a slightly higher percentage of its territory taken up by the Alps, so the fact that Switzerland is mentioned made it seem to me like it must be something only in that country.

I don't think many other people had this problem though, good work!
