I thought the statue of Niyazov has been completely demolished but after googling I found out that it has been moved to a suburb from Ashgabat and the statue doesn't rotates anymore.

Siam should be accepted for the Eng and Chang question - It was known as Siam at that time.

Maybe put reggae music in the J clue… I think that genre is more recognizable and more people know it comes from J.

A statue always facing the sun, I hope it had sunglasses otherwise it would have been painful for it.

I cannot agree that the country of birth of a pair of conjoined twins is a matter of geography.

It is, I assume, because they were the original 'Siamese' twins, so the country name is in the common term used to refer to them. I think it fits in here.

"Can you name the country that corresponds to each clue?"

It doesn't say that they all have to be geography clues.

Great series! But a bit disappointing to see Thailand appearing again, when there are so many countries still unmentioned. Thanks for the series though!

“Located between Algeria and Egypt”

Shouldn’t Tunisia also be here? Or at least update the hint to be more clear please :)

Tunisia is between Algeria and Libya. Libya is between Algeria and Egypt in the sense that it shares a direct border with both Algeria and Egypt, whereas Tunisia only borders Algeria and Libya.

3rd question is incorrect. Moscow was not the capital of Russia in 1812.

St Petersburg was.
