On the Middle East one I did bettre on the coastal ones- I was really hampered by not knowing the shapes of the various countries. What really struck me is how tiny in relation to their neighbors some of those countries are.

I just 'did' Canada. Again, living close to Canada as we in Alaska do, I did pretty well from Ontario west. But the islands...! gnu, I guessed at New Brunswick and lucked out. Why do we rarely hear about Nunavut?
