Because, you know, they're all located somewhere...

Or maybe because they teach geography...

Or... nope - I'm out of ideas

The Ivy League is a sports league--the schools in it all play each other in inter-collegiate sports, under the auspices and organizational structure of that league, which serves also as an administrative liaison with the NCAA (I think!).

Lille is definitely in France's top ten. I know it's part of a conurbation which itself would be 4th or 5th largest conurbation in France, but |Lille itself certainly has a population larger than that of Montpellier

In Australia we routinely use the shorthand of SA, WA, ACT, NT, Vic, Tas, Qld, NSW. It would be best if you said abbreviations can't be used as I wasted time trying to save time. If some abbreviations are accepted and not others it is very confusing.

The obvious problem with allowing abbreviations like 'SA' and 'WA' is that you could trigger those answers unintentionally whilst typing other words. For example, if you went to type Saudi Arabia for the Red Sea countries, you would get the answer for South Australia.

Right. The other abbreviations are far too general to be acceptable. While "NSW" seems to be accepted in all quizzes, I can think of nothing else it could stand for but the Australian state. Not so for WA, SA, etc. Heck, NT could even be an obsolete version of Windows!

Similarly NYC, DC or Philly are normally accepted as common and not ambigous, while LA isn't.

For Australian States, these words should be accepted:

"Capital"

"Western"

since I tried Capital, Wester and South and got confused when they didn't trigger.

I disagree. Those countries didn't exist in the days of the Warsaw Pact, while the USSR did.

Manila is closer than Thimphu. Manila has a distance of 2820km and that of Thimphu has a distance of 2823km

If I measure the distance on Google Maps by clicking on the city names from afar (assuming that chooses the center) Manila is closer. If I go by Google search Google says Thimphu is closer. Beijing is a big city. So it really depends which spot was chosen for measurement.

I really wish "capital territory" was accepted. I never remember to type "Australian capital" and I always get it wrong. It's obviously Australian if the clue is asking about Australia. You don't have to type Washington DC to get the US capital district.

At the time of the Pact, the USSR was the major power player representing what many of us consider as "Russia".

That's along the lines of asking for NATO countries and excluding the US. It definitely should count.
