Under the country column the country itself doesn't appear and instead it is the rank of the city within the country.

That's interesting, it shouldn't and doesn't show up on my view of the quiz, and rather a merged column with the name of the country.

Have you added the type-ins yet? St Julia and Esch didn't work.

Those type-ins are now acceptable

You should probably use the JetPunk default map for Europe instead of the world so the borders would be more accurate

Unfortunately, I couldn't use the default European map as it doesn't reach as far out into European Russia to include Kazan on the map.

There are advantages and disadvantages to using city proper vs. urban area. But the fact that Brussels isn't in the top three for Belgium leads me to think urban area is much more sensible
+2
Level 73

I would almost always agree with using urban area measurements for cities. However, I couldn't find (at the time of making this quiz) a reliable source that Jetpunk usually references that includes urban area populations for every European country.

I know that nobody cares, but the city of Tuzla has about 115,000 people and not 75,000

Why no European Turkey?

Iceland's Kopavogur and Hafnarfjoerdur should be before 2 & 3 on your list.

Why is Valletta not included for Malta.

because the city is pretty small

Stockholm is slightly less than 1 million so I wonder where you got your sources from. If you are using urban area metrics then where is Brussels??

The city brussels is not so many. The region brussels contains 19 cities

Turkey (aswell as Cyprus) are not usually considered European on JetPunk.

Should accept San Pawl il-Baħar for Saint Paul's Bay

Encamp has grown to be larger than Sant Julià de Lòria, Limerick is bigger than Galway, Wrocław is larger than Łódź, Mosta is bigger than Sliema and Iași is larger than Timișoara. Diacritics are missing on Iceland's first and second largest cities, Latvia's, Lithuania's, Moldova's, Montenegro's third largest city and Poland's second and third largest cities. There shouldn't be a dash on San Marino's second largest city and no umlaut on Switzerland's largest city. Really cool quiz, Nedpet!

I agree with almost everything you say here (admittedly had to look a few up, as I was surprised at e.g.: Wrocław being bigger than Łódź -- but sure!).

However: no umlaut on Zürich? I'm not sure where you get that from; certainly Wikipedia disagrees with you...

+1

While the German name is Zürich, which has an umlaut, the English name for the city, Zurich, doesn't which is why I suggested removing the umlaut.

Hafnir could also be accepted for Iceland's second biggest city and s-Gravenhage for the Netherlands' third largest city.
