Once again I hope the bay isn't unfairly hidden. I care a lot about the visuals on this series, so I have to make some decisions on what to draw and what not to draw.

I like how the answers are in English but show up in Welsh on the map

As a proud Welshman, I love this quiz.

Thank you

Cardigan Bay and Ynys Mon didn’t show up for me

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :) It must be the text that doesn't show up? I'm not entirely sure how common this would be but different computers/browsers are going to display text differently and all. Good to hear the rest of the text was fine though.

Yet another great quiz - this is one of my favorite maps of yours, and that's a high bar. I don't know much about Wales so I didn't do too well but I'm happy with my 6/11.

Also - any chance of one of these for Colorado, Alaska, or (god forbid) Wyoming?

Many thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, these are fun to make, though quite challenging. The first US state I do is going to be Alaska, I just find it such an interesting state. It might be a while before I get around to Colorado, but it has interesting geography and would make for a good quiz too.

Hello Jiaozira! As you may know, I created an SVG map some months ago. JWatson24 suggested me that I can make SVG quizzes like this one for the Indian states and UTs. Now that I have some time, I can make some quizzes. So would it be fine if I create a spin-off of your series for the Indian states and UTs?

Yes! Thanks for asking (feel free to do your own version of West Bengal too). I'm looking forward to the series :)

Hi! Although I said Indian-themed, but I couldn't really make one. Instead I made one about the Old City of Jerusalem. It's only the CSS I added a little bit, however I'm super proud of how it turned out. I would love to know what you think about it, here! :)

It's funny how a lot of Wales's well-known towns are not actually that big (speaking as an Englishman).

Llanelli (42k), Port Talbot (32k), Caerphilly (33k), Bangor (17k), Carmarthen (16k), Llandudno (15k), Abergavenny (14k).

I'd say these are better known than Neath, Bridgend, or Cwmbran but lower population.

I get the feeling that a lot of those smaller towns have more cultural relevance while the more populated ones are the suburban centres in the South.
