Good quiz, thank you. I was amused by your description of Asia as a "civilised continent" considering the vicious wars in Syria and Yemen, the lack of basic freedoms - such as freedom of worship - in Iran, the Maldives and Saudi Arabia, the systematic attempts to silence any opposition in China, ethnic cleansing in Myanmar and possibly all of the above (who knows?) in North Korea. They make the "uncivilised continent" (the Antarctic) look like angels.

Every continent had its own era of vicious war cycles, Europe is no exception. We cannot be the judges of the crimes of others when we ourselves are impure to the core.

That being said, I pray for the wellbeing of every human on this planet - Nobody deserves to suffer in the (current) best age.

Easy quiz until you get to Oceania. I was pretty happy about getting Wollongong and Newcastle, but missed Hamilton.

In dark mode it looks like there should be an extra answer in Africa and Oceania
