How the heck have so many people gotten Vanuatu. I mean, I know the country, but more people have gotten it than Vietnam, which is WAY more well known. Even though the quiz is new, I still wouldn't expect that.

Not geographically. It is however a part of the EU and culturally quite European. But it's still located in Asia.

What makes you say that? Iceland is much closer to the UK than it is to Canada. And it's probably as much on the Northamerican as it is on the Eurasian plate. If that's any indication at all.

Iceland is actually on the Mid-Atlantic ridge where the plates join. The diverging/spreading action is what gives Iceland its geothermal features.

It's still not a maritime province of Canada. Think of it more as a historical province, it used to be Lower Canada and New France after all.

Yep, it does touch the Atlantic, but it's not really considered a Maritime province. I think the reason for this is that it covers a lot of other territory besides just the Atlantic. The Maritime Provinces on the other hand are for the most part surrounded by the Atlantic.

The heartland of Quebec is the Saint Lawrence valley, moving inland towards Ontario. The province and territory groupings are cultural and political rather than strictly geographic.

The European island questions... I avoid them when writing my pub quizzes for the same obvious reasons... Cyprus has to be avoided as geographically, it's Asia, but politically and in sport, it's European.. it's a member of the E.U, partakes of UEFA football competitions, Eurovision, and events run by the European Athletics Assoc. so unless you're going to strictly define what you mean by "Europe" just avoid it, someone will always argue...

And what do you mean by "nation"? Do we understand sovereign states, in which case only UK, or "England" as Someone would have it, although some would say it is excluded because of Gibraltar, and Iceland?

Just for your information, a country doesn't need to be in Europe to be part of Eurovision (as well UEFA with the former parts of USSR for instance who have the choice to decide compete in Europe or in Asia, that's why you have Kazakhstan in UEFA but not Turkmenistan)

Yes, the Eurovision or UEFA are a bad argument for Cyprus being in Europe. The right argument is that the boundaries of continents are culturally and politically defined, and the only ones claiming Cyprus is in Asia are the Turkish nationalists who would like to also occupy its second half.

The "new" states one is quite misleading. I thought it was about the newest states (Hawaii, Alaska,...), then I thought it could be about possible future states (like Puerto Rico, or Washington DC), but none worked.

Great quiz! But if mediteranean is one of the accepted answers I would not also give aegean since one is part of the other. If you accept the parts, then you should accept levantine aswell instead of mediterannean. Stick with either subdivisions or the encompassing name, not a bit of everything. Doesnt matter which, as long as it is consistent. (and possibly accepts sihkism and janism/janaism as type ins? If not that is fine too, but especially the sihkism seems a logical one to accept since words with h usually get a lot of leniency)

Britain is an island, made up of 3 nations: Scotland, Wales, England. The UK adds Northern Ireland to this, so is not an island nation. Nor is Ireland, because Northern Ireland is currently part of the UK.

I was confused with: "New" U.S. states. I was trying to guess the newest U.S. states all the time.

Could you maybe change the question to: U.S. states that start with "New"?
