I wonder about the % of green on Mauritania's flag. It should be really close to 2/3

Level 66

Jan 13, 2020

54.8 % according to Jetpunk's Flags with most green

It was more than 2/3 until 2017, when they added those 2 red lines at the top and the bottom.

It's not particularly close either. As of June 2023, Egypt has more than 112 million.

People call American's imperialists but it's actually the French who are the imperialists.

Level 37

Feb 15, 2020

The americans don't need overseas territories, they already have a country the size of a continent. The same can't be said about France or the UK.

Level 83

Jun 3, 2021

The Americans have exerted imperialistic pressures on numerous countries, and what may be called their empire just happens to be contiguous.

Was surprised that Israel wasn't an option for a country that had recently changed its capital.

+19

Level 95

Jan 13, 2020

Israel's capital has been Jerusalem, by law, since 1980. Because many other nations don't acknowledge Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem, most embassies are in Tel Aviv instead. The US recently moved their embassy to Jerusalem, but not because of a capital change.

The nations of the UK play football as separate entities (or “countries” if you like). England won the world cup in 1966 and STILL go on, and on and on, about it now. Those of us from the other nations of Britain love hearing about it. It never gets boring.

But surely the UK is the country so UK should be an accepted answer? Or just remove England all together- I say this as an English person as well

Berlin became the seat of government of Germany in 1999. I guess that doesn't count, since the treaty that agreed to make Berlin the capital after reunification was signed in 1990?

Nope. They are the most recent host, but they have never even made the semi-finals.

Except for one time, but even that wasn't as an independent Russia, but as a part of the USSR, when Soviet team made it into the semi-finals.

Well the capital didn't actually change, just a formerly normal city became a capital.

Why does Tanzania count as a country whose capital has changed since 1991?

Level 77

Because its capital was Dar es Salaam until 1996, but now it is Dodoma

Thanks Hines. That was great. Tough in parts but not excrutiatingly so! Thanks for all your efforts making it.

Do American military bases not count as American territory?

Level 80

Nov 13, 2021

Not when they're leased from other countries, no.

Level 61

Nov 13, 2021

even if they were.. the U.S. Virgin Islands are in the lesser antilies, that doesn't mean that the USA is an answer for that question

Level 87

Dec 23, 2021

Only in the context of a presidential candidate's birthplace. ;-)

Level 80

Aug 13, 2022

The Constitution only stipulates that the president must be a "natural born citizen".. children born to American citizens overseas are still natural born citizens, as are any children born in the United States regardless of the citizenship of their parents. The media-fed faux controversy about where John McCain was born, or the BS conspiracy theories about where Barack Obama was born, were always in reality a non-issue. (the latter especially, since they weren't even true)

Level 65

Nov 25, 2021

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has territory in every continent on Earth, inhabited or otherwise, naturally all my fellow geography nerds will already know that but still I felt like pointing it out.

I believe our good buddies over in le France have territory in six continents which is impressive also. Viva la France & God save the Queen.

Why isn’t West Germany valid for Question 2?

Level 64

Feb 27, 2022

Although it's won a World Cup, West Germany is no longer a country and is therefore ineligible. (I think that's the reasoning behind it)

Level 47

Mar 11, 2022

But England is on there?

Level 59

Apr 7, 2022

You think England is no longer a country?

Level 47

Apr 17, 2022

West Germany was when it won the World Cup.

Level 47

Apr 23, 2022

I’m not saying West Germany is a country, I just think it should be at least accepted for the question.

Unsure why Libya isn't an acceptable answer for the temperature question, I'm sure the hottest on record was recorded there!
