They are urban areas which often include other nearby cities without a large area separating them.

This quiz appears to be missing a few Chinese concessions that the British controlled for extended periods. Xiamen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Tianjin for example. Some of these did not include the entire city, but it still seems strange to exclude them.

Also, the quiz is really inflexible on spelling or alternate names (NYC? Bagdad instead of Baghdad? DC?). Leaves much to be desired.
