I’ve been trying to figure it out, and although I would accept it, it seems like almost every source capitalizes the article, and they are officially “Los Zetas”. I’ll look more into it but it someone agrees I’ll be glad to add it.

Great quiz, just keeps on being fun.

Small 'mistake' in either the question wording or the answer;

When asked for a 'people' I answered Maori whilst the nation of New Zealand is asked for.
