One out of every fourteen times, you will get the same country as the previous time. When that happens, remember that you can just reload the page again.

This quiz was featured via the nominations process. It is so extensive that it would take multiple days of work to verify everything so I will trust in the quizmaker (HinesBrothers) to handle any problems.

As the Quizmaster noted, it's not practical to fact-check everything, so much of these answers have not been updated since 2020 or so. Please let me know if any of the answers are out of date or incorrect.

There's a couple of issues with the quiz; The yellow box disappears after first question so you can only answer the questions in the given order and are stuck if there's one you don't know. The counter doesn't work so you can't see how many correct answers you have. Finally, sometimes the number to the left indicates the position of the given country and sometimes how many is in front (so if it says 3 it seems arbitrary if there is 2 or 3 possible answers).

Love the Quiz! Just one suggestion, for the North Korea version the question "Least recognized JetPunk country" is a bit confusing, maybe "least internationally recognized" or least politically recognized" would be clearer? I got there in the end, but spent a lot of time guessing countries that people might not recognize on a map-quiz.

I would kind of prefer *not* to know which country it is. I don't suppose there's an easy way to hide that unless you click on it or something?

To me, that would make it a lot more interesting and different from the "normal" countries that beat [x] quizzes.

This quiz asks for countries, and has no note that a country may no longer exist. In most Jetpunk cases, that means only modern-day countries. So for a question for Germany, I answered "Russia", but the correct answer was the Soviet Union.

Only 2/16 countries have the Soviet Union as an answer in a situation where Russia would be incorrect. I thus do not think that it is a relevant enough point to add a caveat, but I will accept Russia from now on in those situations.

For Poland, one answer (about the treaty of Warsaw) only accepts countries that no longer exist.

“Containing the populous urban area beginning with F” is missing the word “most”.

Also “consuming” is misspelt in “Top per-person beef cosuming country”.

Thanks for a fun quiz.

I had North Korea, it really does surprise me that they are supposedly more violent then for example Iran who stakes its entire economy to support terrorist groups abroad while also oppressing it’s own people in various ways, Israel who are violently colonizing their neighbours, mexico are suffering humongous internal conflict with a very high death toll. I know that data is not rapidly available for north korea but to assume that they have a more violent country than any of these I just mentioned and many more seems odd.

Very nice quiz !

Possible mistake: in "Whose capital has the highest urban area population" (beating Egypt), one of the answers given is Italy. Rome's urban area is not that big.
