30/30. O... M... G! I thought I'd never get Lahore; who knows regions of Pakistan anyway? I tried so hard thinking of any name, and then I tried Punjab although I thought that would be wrong.

I felt that "Punjab" was fair game because (a) this is an English-speaking website, India and Pakistan are both English-speaking countries, and anyone who knows the geography of either will be able to name that region; (b) Punjabi cuisine, especially if you count chicken tikka masala, is now ubiquitous throughout the English-speaking world, so some people will have heard of it that way; and (c) the quiz quietly accepts "Mogul" as an alternate answer (much the way it accepts "Aragon" as an alternate answer for "Catalonia"), and the Mogul Empire was memorable enough in world history that the name "Mogul" entered the English language with the definition "a powerful person".

Tripoli, Libya was named for Tripoli, Lebanon, no? When the Phoenicians were row boating around the Mediterranean Sea grabbing bits of turf all over the shop. Before they became the Carthaginians and made the grave error of annoying the toga wearers. Corrections to my statement welcome.

The only problem is for people who know it as Czech Republic or Czechia and type the whole thing out, before realizing it accepted Czech. The people from the Czech Republic/Czechia are Czech, not the name of the country. It is like accepting Irish for Ireland or Chinese for China. If someone were to type in Czech, they would get it correct 99% of the time by typing the rest of the name.

But if you dont you waste a lot of time moving the yellow bar to skip the ones you dont know. On phones or tablets this is a pain.

and there is not really a point in this case, it is not like people will accidently type catalonia for sydney..
