Ah, I remembered the Karen people and kinda assumed there would be a city of the same name. Well, at least I only missed one.

If all the Karens demanded to live together, that city would be approximately twice the size as NYC...

Only if you think there are ~4.5 million people living in New York, and not the nearly 9 million everyone else seems to count it as.

New york city is comprised of the five borroughs, not just Manhattan, and the population of them all is between 8 and 9 million. That's the city proper population according the US Census.

It's a trick question. The mind jumps straight to Africa instead of Madagascar alone, because we know the Mercator map distorts polar areas.

Re: the cardinal directions question, I would say there is no East country either. According to the UN's list of countries, it's Timor Leste only!

It doesn't change the answer though, so that's really not a problem.

There's still North Korea and South Africa, and even then, Timor-Leste is just Portuguese for East Timor, still has a cardinal direction in its name.

North Macedonia would probably be a better example. North Korea is represented in the UN as the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea". A sick joke of a name, but their name nonetheless. Also, fun fact, Timor translates to East in Malay. That means their name translates to East East.

But you can't translate it through both portugese and malay at the same time. So it's either Timor-East or East-Leste

Silly me... I went back and changed #1 because I thought there couldn't be three false ones in a row and that was the one of the three where I wasn't 100% sure.

You'd be surprised of the odds, the probability that 3 random coin tosses are either all heads or tails is 1/4. And for 15, there are 13 series of 3.

If the result was pure random, it's actually overwhelmingly likely to have 3 true or 3 false in a row

What about Western Sahara? I know it isn't a "country", but what is its status in the UN? I thought the UN saw it as independent, but I'm not sure.

I find the fact that the Karen question is by far the least correctly guessed pretty funny.

It sounded quite plausible for it to be in India or China, and I don't know every 1mil+ city in either of those.

Good quiz. Got two wrong: Karen did me wrong (thought she was a somewhat popular gal in Siberia) but for a geography buff not knowing so many countries end in "Y" is unforgivable! There was once a West Germany (albeit officially "Federal Republic of Germany") and Western Samoa (meanwhile renamed just Samoa) and likewise West Pakistan briefly.

i only got the west question wrong. well i guess it makes sense for the un not to recognize western sahara. they tend to turn a blind eye to genocide sometimes.
