You can’t deny the fact that they share some similarity with the French-influence and Mediterranean culture though. And there are some tricky questions that I find would be fun to answer! Hope you enjoy the quiz!!

Nice diversity in questions! Fun, challenging, and educational.

This is just personal preference, not criticism of the quiz, but I prefer the binary questions like 15 and 16. I feel like that makes the quiz into two independent quizzes for each country since knowing the answer to one country doesn't help with the other. In my opinion, these quizzes should be about comparing the two. But that's just my two cents!

Great quiz--probably the hardest of these that I've done! I especially got tripped up by the border one, and thinking that Germany had occupied Morocco (later realizing it was Vichy).

Maybe you should specify that you are looking for a continous border strip in the question. I answered Morocco since I knew it bordered Spain in three seperate places, which surely would be longer than the Monaco-France border. And it is,

so the total Spain-Morocco border is the longer one

The Eurovision question is absolutely insane!!

Also what's the source for the sports question? Would have thought Monaco watched a lot of football too, and their team is even pretty good. I can understand more spectators for motorsport but I guessed that lots of people still watch football every week.
