Can you facilitate the type-ins because some German, Italian, French, Spanish ... states are really hard when you need to type the complete name.

My only question is why the first level subdivisions of the UK aren't just England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland?

I like the quiz, but I would've loved one more minute. I don't consider myself specially slow but time ran out and I was still typing.

Thanks for such strict type-ins. I finally found out how to spell "Occitanie" and dispensed with the Ivano and the two Pomeranias!

Could you add type-ins to make the Shires in England easier to type? (e.g. to answer Staffordshire, you would only need to type 'Stafford')

Three of these are not *first-level* subdivisions though. Looking at the UK, Netherlands and Belgium.

England is a subdivision of the UK, the counties are second order divisions so they shouldn't count

Very interesting that not more counties show up for Romania, I guess that they are all pretty small
