Ignore Guam's ignorance. It's commonly transliterated as Moslem, though far less common now than it used to be. Here's an Ngram showing the changes in time. relessness, please accept 'moslem' as well :)

Wales, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland... none of those are countries in any meaningful way. That's why they rightfully don't show up on "countries of the world" quizzes. However, they call themselves countries, so, in the context of the UK, it's okay to refer to them as such - as long as one doesn't confuse them with actual countries. Now, if you're trying to say that some of those should be countries (Free Scotland!), I would agree, but that's up to them to decide!

I think this is just common usage as much as technical definition. In the UK if we're trying to be precise we often talk about sovereign states. It's obvious why Americans would tend to use a different word.

I read the category as "Biggest Nordic Countries" and I was getting so angry that Sweden, Finland, etc, weren't working. Then I realized it was asking for CITIES. Duh.

Also, I love how people on this site will argue about the UK in every quiz that asks about it.

Norway, Sweden, and Finland are collectively known as Fennoscandia. Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are collectively known as Scandinavia. Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark are collectively known as the Nordic Countries. Don't get them mixed up.

There are several definitions of Scandinavia:

- Norway / Sweden (the Scandinavian peninsula, but can also include parts of Finland and Russia)

- Norway / Sweden / Denmark (a linguistic definition, and the most common)

- Norway / Sweden / Denmark / Finland / Iceland (= Nordic countries, a cultural definition also including islands like Greenland and Faroes etc)

Sometimes a certain definition is more appropriate depending on the context, and all are fine and correct if properly explained.

Scandinavia can be used to refer to all three. Here's how Wikipedia puts it:

"In English usage, Scandinavia can refer to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, sometimes more narrowly to the Scandinavian Peninsula, or more broadly to include the Åland Islands, the Faroe Islands, Finland, and Iceland."

Just wondering why some of these answers are not listed alphabetically. I mean, it makes sense for categories such as "Most populous cities", "Longest rivers" and such, but when its just a list of countries or cities (like Countries of the UK or European countries starting with L), they seem to be ordered randomly. Or am I missing something? Great quiz nonetheless!

The Armenians have their own quarter distinct from the other Christians because they got there first. Also their quarter is basically a fortress which is part of why they've managed to stick around so long.

Both Oslo and Helsinki as about 630.000-640.000 inhabitants. Gothenburg has about 570.000. The gap is so small so wondering if it makes sense to call the four biggest cities a "group" by population (I know that they are capitals, but the question could ask for capitals then).
