I'd include San Marino in the city-states category.

San Marino has multiple settlements. San Marino, Serravalle, Dogana etc. Thus, it isn't a city-state

I think that misunderstands what a city state is. Singapore also has outlying areas. So did the ancient city states. San Marino is often (rightly) cited as the last of the old Italian city states.

Singapore has outlying areas that belong to the same city. San Marinos has several cities. It was as city state, but it expanded several times in its history.

I'm with Jon, San Marino is more of a city state than Vatican City or Monaco. To me, the term implies one larger settlement and surrounding areas with or without other settlements. San Marino and Singapore look pretty good for that, Vatican and Monaco are just little parts of a city.

Yes, the country without the word "City" in its name is more of a city state than Vatican City

By that logic North Korea is more democratic than the USA.

San Marino doesn't have a large urban centre, true, but it's got a much larger urban centre than Vatican "City".

The real question here is: "considered by whom?" In the Wikipedia article on city states San Marino is mentioned twice as an example both historically and nowadays. So if it's just "Considered by me to be a city state" that's pretty poor.

Tshwane is the municipality, not the city - they are different. Although perhaps that is nit-picking!

The original before featuring was a bit more difficult and more fun in my opinion. I feel it might even be too easy for what could've been a nicely balanced quiz. (I don't think that's Gassu's fault though since it was great before featuring)

As some evidence to that, the average before was 15/20 with a fairly nice curve and 18% getting 100%. Now the average is 17/20 and the curve is completely lopsided with 48% getting 100%.

As this quiz got quite heavily updated and enriched with much easier questions, I'll aim for a second, harder version which will correspond to the common JetPunk user geography level, a thing originally intended by the quiz, resulting in it reaching the top of Nominations. Thanks for your understanding.

I'm confused. I just looked at the original quiz. It was much easier - except perhaps for the two geology questions which would have provoked whining.

Numerous style guides on the Internet say that information put in a parenthesis should be inessential to the meaning of the phrase in which that parenthesis appears. Thus, these style guides would imply that "other than the Nile" should not be wrapped in parenthesis.

Can you specify the Köppen climate question? I put in the abbreviations (i.e. Af, EF, BWh) and then gave up, before realizing that it was supposed to be tropical, dry, temperate, polar or continental.

Several city states in the past have had empires - Athens, Venice for example. People here need to get away from the idea that city state = tiny.

can you accept Sint Maartin for Saint Martin? It is the french spelling of the world and is widely used like Cote Diviore for Ivory Coast and Timor Leste for East Timor

No, it's Saint-Martin in French too. You might be thinking of Sint Maarten which is the Dutch name of the island, as well as the generally accepted name for the Dutch territory on it. It'd be like accepting Ciudad Juarez for El Paso on a US cities quiz.

I don't think French Guiana should be listed as an overseas possession. It's fully a integrated department of France.

It's actually as much a part of France as Hawaii is of the US. So while American Samoa is a US overseas possession, Hawaii is not.

France uses the term 'DOM-TOM" : Départements d'Outre-Mer & Territoires d'Outre-Mer" (overseas departments & overseas territories, departments being the main subdivision of the mainland roughly equivalent to a county).

So the overseas also included the overseas departments of Guyane, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion and Mayotte.
