I got all the "-stan" countries first time, which is a first for me... I know Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kazakhstan; I can place Uzbekistan knowing it's doubly landlocked; but the other ones are just a guessing game.
Just remember that the two that don't begin with t (Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan) are on top and the two that do (Turkmenistan and Tajikistan) are on the bottom.
Everybody has their own ways to remember. I honestly wouldnt have been able to answer which were former soviet union..
MY logic was as follows, I remembered afghanistan being next to pakistan (and iran). Turkey being close to turkey. Kazakhstan biggest, the other k kyrgyzstan touches it. And uzbekistan larger than tajikistan since it is a bit less obscure.
I know the small ones just by knowing Kyrgyz is on top and Tajiki is on bottom. The other ones are easy. Capitals (Uzbek, Tajiki, Kyrgyz), i always mix up.
Over-under for first comment complaining that QM's arbitrary definition of south/central Asia doesn't match their arbitrary definition of south/central Asia...5 more comments?
Before JetPunk, this would've been difficult for me. After playing on JetPunk for a few years now, it's an absolute slam dunk. In fact, out of gratitude, I'll do something I really should do far more often, but just don't out of internet-habit: click on a couple of ads. Thanks, QM.
Yah, that’s enough countries for a new quiz. It’s kind of like saying South America, but without Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Guyana, Suriname and Ecuador. Basically the same quiz, right? No.
Also, Turkmenistan is the one closest to TURKey.

Whatever works for you.
