You can't really say that there are no hints when the countries are in alphabetical order...

Quizzes like this (lists not questions) are almost always in alpha order.

Yes, but the title specifically says no hints. Alphabetical order is a BIG hint

I agree - I completely forgot that Bulgaria was in the EU. Got all the rest, then looked and saw it sits alphabetically between Belgium and Croatia. Only way I remembered it. Definitely a Hint (not that I should complain... LOL).

Who cares about the alphabetical order, the description says the countries arent even shown! And will only be filled in after you give the right answer..

Im gonna make a quiz with "no hints" and actually have the answers allready filled in! Now that will cause some disturbance and confusion :D and as a bonus, not have in alphabetical order and file cyprus under Europe ;)

It's EU capitals, not European capitals; Cyprus is in the European Union despite its continental ambiguity.

Or it could go by the alphabetical order of the CAPITALS which will make it harder to guess

Sort of gives hints; it tells you which country, eliminating possibilities, as well as lining them up alphabetically. Still, good quiz; my last answer was Berlin, a bit silly

My strategy was to do the hard ones first, like Ljubljana and Nicosia. But by the end I was going through the European Union and thinking I had guessed all the major ones already and that I was just missing something. I got them all right except Budapest, Berlin, and London.

It is just a few days after the referendum, and London is already removed as an answer. It could have helped me to get a higher percentage correct if you act slower...

Vatican City is not allowed to become a EU member because the Vatican is a Absolute Monarchy when the EU is a Union for Republics and Constitutional Monarchies.

Liechtenstein is in the EEA, so it already follows most EU rules and enjoys the four EU freedoms. San Marino is effectively the same, but unilaterally and through individual treaties with Italy. Monaco and Andorra are also heavily integrated with the EU, but make use of their non-membership to act as tax havens. Vatican City is an absolute monachy, and therefore doesn't qualify for membership.

Now this is an interesting one.

First, decide that greenland is part of north america because its closer to it than to europe.

Second, determine if Iceland is closer to Europe or to America. It is closer to Greenland than it is to Europe - so it should be American?

Like this you might be able to assign Japan to Australia...

What does Cyprus offer? Shady banking? Maritime stuff?

All I know is that there's some border dispute / State disfunction due to race. Seems like it'd be easier to leave that country out. Maybe the EU wanted to deny it to the Middle East region?

Maybe it was some bargain with Greece?
