I can now spell Philippines right :)

Philllipines BITCH!
Phillipines BITCH!
Phillippines BITCH!

Indonesia :w00t:
Singapore :w00t:

I missed fucking The Philippines and Madagascar for fucks sake... Being a Rugby player I know my south pacific islands. Pirates! taught me the Caribbean islands.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

This site is really addictive. Thanks to it I can now name St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua, Comoros, Seychelles, Sao Tome and Principe, and many other tiny shitty island countries.

So how did our resident Byzanteens do on the roman emperors quizzes?

It was curious to me that they showed close ups for things like Europe and West Africa but didn't have one for Micronesia and the like.

29 seconds on the math.  And my advisor wondered why I wanted to go back down to College Algebra after almost four years not in school. <_<

18. Started with former parts of the Ottoman Empire, then went through the various EU countries, then other major immigrant destinations, then various neighbors and Turkic countries. Should've gotten 19, but I didn't think of Afghanistan. Would never have thought of Belarus.

I tried mine with much the same logic as you did, only I typed in all the war-torn shitholes I knew of, first, so I got Afghanistan.  I missed Uzbekistan, though.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Got all the countries bordering Russia with just 20 seconds to spare.  Took me a little thinking to get the last one that only has a 19km border :D

Ouch.  Only got 40 of 53 African countries.  Africa has always sort of been my blind spot.

Not surprising; with all of the coups and revolutions those countries change their names every couple of years.

Agreed.  Africa needs to blob up a little.  Why the holes in South Africa, why the balkanization on the west coast?

Monaco, Andorra, San Marino, the Vatican, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg all need to be annexed into the French/English/Spanish/whatever empire. Same for all those pissy little island countries.

Well, South Africa's holes are a holdover from the Apartheid-era Homelands policy.
