They are two different cities but they are the same urban area. I have seen many quizzes that accept Islamabad for Rawalpindi's urban area and many that don't, it is really just preference.
Panama City is not in South America. The border between continents isn't the Panama Canal. Per Wikipedia:
The border between North America and South America is at some point on the Darién Mountains watershed that divides along the Colombia–Panama border where the isthmus meets the South American continent (see Darién Gap). Virtually all atlases list Panama as a state falling entirely within North America and/or Central America.
Hibiscus Coast! I couldn't even get that and I live 30 minutes drive away! (Auckland). No one calls it that here, though I suppose it is its official name. Great quiz by the way, thanks.
Only one I missed in New Zealand also. You should accept Silverdale/Orewa/Whagaparaoa as type ins if you insist on joining these into one urban settlement (which I've never heard the name used before). Such type ins are allowed for Gosford on the Central Coast of New South Wales, for instance.
For North America: Tijuana has 2.2M people, Kingston(Jamaica) has around 1.3-1.4M, Santiago de Los Caballeros(Dominican republic) has 1.4M.
Knoxville has about 1.0M people flat and Stamford/Norwalk Agglomeration also has about 1.0M flat and Xalapa, Mexico also has about 1.0-1.1M people too. All of those were missing I believe.
I found it a little Odd on this quiz how you chose to combine certain very separate Cities/Urban Areas into a bigger conurbation and used that as a represented combined area which isn’t really incorrect for a quiz like this but then for some of the other cities though you chose to add multiple cities that are a part of the same Urban Area like for example 1/4 of the cities on the South America part are part of the Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo Urban area/Conglomeration and they were all broken down and counted as independent Urban Areas but then you proceeded to combine certain Urban areas such Islamabad and Rawalpindi which could theoretically be Separated into two separate Urban areas if we’re using the logic you used for the other cities. It’s just confusing what to even guess when the method for counting population and independent cities isn’t consistent.
Ethiopia is interesting, because it has over 100 million people but apparently just 1 larger city (and even that one is not *that* large). Can someone teach me what's up here? Weird way of counting on citypopulation.de's part? Large rural population? If so, why didn't Ethiopia undergo urbanization like so many other countries did?
You updated the quiz while I was taking it and it didn't save the score as a result. But atleast I was the last person to play the og version of the quiz I guess.
Great quiz but Manchester’s population on this quiz takes into account Liverpool’s urban population as well. So that 6.1mil figure should be closer to 3.2mil if we’re separating the two conglomerations
