I have done this so many times now im addicted. are there any more? I think europe would be my best I could have a bash at south amrica and would suck severly at africa.
Also I head about a site called something like the world geography test and you register what country your from and do the test and they rank how world aware people from various countries are. Apparently australia isnt doing to weel does anybody know that address?

More of the same available here Geography Quizzes - including versions where the names aren't listed, and the size or orientation needs to be selected properly as well as location...
And could this The Geography Olympics be the contest you're looking for? Off there myself to get some points for OZ!

Geez I got 6 wrong which I guess isn't that bad. All in Eastern Europe ofcourse. I have to admit I had no idea AT ALL where Slovenia and Moldova where. Kinda sad because I befriended a couple of young people from Slovenia this weekend. Got the girls email (yes i am a dog) and I couldn't admit to them I had no idea where the hell it was. But I think they knew most people don't know since she said "I'm from Slovenia...it's by Poland".

Blacula, doh! Yes she was from Slovakia. Geez. The other from Europe...both were hot.
And I forget about some of the States as well trust me. Middle america is the weak point. And it came be some that are very far apart. I mean who knew that Iowa and Idaho aren't the same.

Legend says the continental homeland of the North Saxons was destroyed in a devastating cataclysm, but a leading Saxon wise-man managed to strap his newborn son into a catapult and launch him to safety! Under the rainy skies of Britain, he achieved powers beyond those of mortal Saxons: more powerful than a ox-drawn cart, able to outrun a speeding arrow, and leap over the tallest megalithic stone structures!
Meanwhile, back in the real world - I learned a while back that Saxon was derived from 'sax', a type of sword. So the Saxons must've had a bit of a rep - the 'Sword Guys' of Europe. At least you knew what you were in for, I suppose.
