I want to do better but wow look how many subdivisions Slovenia has for it's size. They have no relevance for me to memorize other than for the sake of this quiz and a few good wine regions. Ditto with Malta. I'm not even trying to learn all of those. Nor Iceland. You guys that 50%+ on this one are beasts.
Wow, this is very impressive. I like it really very much. I could kick myself for forgetting some very obvious ones, though. I'm especially angry with myself for not trying the names of Polish cities and Uralic languages. They would have helped.
I also found a few mistakes, which is natural, dealing with such a huge material. They all concern Hungarian counties. Three of them are swapped. You wrote "Baranya" where "Békés" should be, you wrote "Békés" where "Bács-Kiskun" should be, and "Bács-Kiskun" is where "Baranya" should be.
Otherwise thank you. I'll be soon practising lots of other subdivisions.
This is ADMINISTRATIVE divisions, not statistical, so Iceland and North Macedonia are in fact divided into municipalities. I'll separate the Norwegian subdivisions whenever I update it next July.
Are quarters an official set of second-level subdivisions, not just traditional remnants? Also, Zeta of Montenegro is missing, and the 2024 Norwegian reforms have not yet been implemented in the quiz.
The last update i can recall is switching from provinces to constituent countries for the Netherlands, but that didn't feel like 4 years ago. I'm curious, do you know what has changed this time around?
Edit: wait I'm so blind: that's exactly what you changed back.
Slovenia: it's more manageable :) And the administrative units are indeed an administrative division, although without any self-governance, but that's not a condition in this quiz.
That's because Flanders can be accept by just typing 'Flande', and when you are typing the 'rs' after flande it gives you Srpska because R.S. is an abbreviation of Republika Srpska
For me, as a Portuguese, we never consider the Madeira arquipelago and it's region as been located in Africa, altought it's location.
Feels weirs that it doesn't count. Same as the Canaries for Spain.
Moreover, the status of this islands (Madeira and Canaries) are different from other countries overseas territories, such as French Guyanna or Falkland Islands, just to say some examples.
And, please, try display the Açores arquipelago in the right orientation - north facing west is not very usual ;P
I admit that I gave up on this one very quickly after realising that the expected source of a lot of my points (UK Counties) was not included, and that a lot of the names I used for others were not 'official'. Can't understand why the counties were excluded when many other, much smaller, divisions are included?
No, it's not. It's Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the English counties. England is not an administrative subdivision of the UK (see comments above).
Why then does the same not apply to the Netherlands? The country the Netherlands is one of the 4 constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
me! iceland is pretty intuitive because you can break down the names into actual meaning like fjallabyggð just means mountain town or fjarðabyggð means fjord town. and for former yugoslavia, yeah it's difficult and I still have macedonia and slovenia left, but the others are more approachable. croatia and serbia are fine and montenegro isn't toooo challenging
150, not bad for an American (though of European persuasion).
Oh and minor correction, in Poland it's not "Lubusz" it's Lubuskie... the city the province is named aften is "Lubin", which is confusing because #1 Lubin is not even in the provice of Lubuskie and #2 in the east of the country is a somewhat bigger provintial capital of Lublin with the name of the province "Lubelskie" (lubelskie versus lubuskie, it's confusing even for Poles).
Oh and I see where the author of the quiz got this from -- wikipedia. Go figure... there's a drive to properly account for anglicized versions of the polish Voivodeships (see the talk page of the wikipedia article) and that's getting reverted soon.
No, it is named after the town of Lebus (Lubusz), currently in Germany, thus the naming is consistent with other voivodships named after towns (although I won't go into arguments whether that's the correct way of anglicizing their names, because I am by no means an expert).
i've been slowly memorizing all of these for ages lol, each country at a time. iceland actually isnt as hard as it seems because each name has a meaning behind it that you can break down to make it more intuitive- bláskogabyggð is just blue forest town
rn i have only macedonia and slovenia left so yeeeeah wish me luck

England is not an administrative subdivision. This quiz should instead include English unitary authorities, county councils, combined authorities, and mayoral areas.
it probably will take quite a while longer for it to update, so I think you're safe :) pretty sure before this update the last one was four years prior. I have faith in you I've been able to get 765/904
What you marked as Békés is actually Bács-Kiskun
What you marked as Bács-Kiskun is actually Baranya
And what you marked as Baranya is actually Békés
So it would be great if you fixed those, other than that great job
I also found a few mistakes, which is natural, dealing with such a huge material. They all concern Hungarian counties. Three of them are swapped. You wrote "Baranya" where "Békés" should be, you wrote "Békés" where "Bács-Kiskun" should be, and "Bács-Kiskun" is where "Baranya" should be.

I scored 269 out of 1052 for 4 / 5 points
🟢🟢🟢🟢🔴
Vestfold og Telemark have been into Vestfold and Telemark
Iceland is no longer divided into municipalities, but rather regions.
North Macedonia isn't divided into districts, but rather statistical regions.
Correct, so England should be split into counties, as they are the first-level administration there.
But why is Crimea counted as a part of Russia?
But that thing (Iceland)
It scares me
The map shows the Heby municipality in Sweden as part of Västmanland but it was transferred to Uppsala in 2008
- Hungarian counties Baranya, Bács-Kiskun, and Békés are in the wrong places.
- Madeira is not included.
- Monaco's only first-level division is itself (the Municipality of Monaco); this quiz instead uses its third-level divisions (wards).
Edit: wait I'm so blind: that's exactly what you changed back.
- Can you give an explanation for the change of heart regarding the Netherlands? Is it to be more in line with Denmark?
- Also, how come the administrative units of Slovenia are now used instead of the municipalities?
- Can you please clarify North Macedonia as well?

But after all, thanks for the quiz!
2. There are 5 districts in APKiM

2. Not going to be changed, Kosovo is independent per Jetpunk standards.
