Hey,

For those familiar with the 'Country Quiz' series, let me know what you think of the grey fog mechanism - I'm a bit skeptical about it.

I hope you'll enjoy this quiz anyway. Good luck!

Excellent idea! There are many regions with a rich history where individual quizzes for each countries would be quite complicated, such as former Yugoslavia or the Levant, or simply Korea, so I think this is great.

Regarding the grey area, I guess it helps understand that you have to name the countries, but I don't know if hiding the other clues underneath is a good idea...

Love the series. This is a good one. A few suggestions -

I agree with the prior suggestion about not hiding clues behind other clues.

Make the D marking the Swedish lake larger. I knew there was a D somewhere, but couldn't find it. Also missed the sea to the west of Greenland. Just couldn't find a space on the map where there was a missing sea. Not sure what you can do about this, though. Maybe enlarge the inset to show a bit more water to the west of Greenland?

Might be better to move the Greenland inset to the left side. (You could move the Svalbard inset to the top to make room.) Since it's down sitting on top of the Baltic countries, I didn't look down there and didn't even see it until the very end of the quiz.

Why is there an inset for the Faroe islands when there aren't any questions about them?

I agree with making the D bigger, I could not for the life of me found it and would have known it if I did.

Great quiz, though I was surprised I knew two Icelandic volcanoes and neither was looked for :D

Regarding the grey area, it would be better without it, though its not a big deal

Canada should count as a bordering country, if Greenland is in the quiz

Even by city proper, those number cannot be correct?

You are right, there's something wrong with it, I'll try to fix it whenever I'll have a little time.

Thanks

Kronoborg is spelled wrong.

I'm a bit surprised that Eyjafjallajökull isn't one of the volcanoes as it errupted in 2010 and effected most of Europe with the smoke from that erruption!
