shoot... I was also going to say that the area was pertinent, and as much as it is in the news I got quite a lot wrong.

WOW that's great! Thanks GM I was wishing I could find exactly that kind of map. I wanted to test my geography and you come up with a link to the very thing I was fantasizing...

I missed three, two stans and Mali because I didn't wait till I had Chad in the right place first.

I missed a lot of the stans. When I analyzed my results, I thought I recognized that I got a lot of the happier (in my mind) spots right. It showed me a bias.

Missed a number. All those The whole Black 'n Kaspian Sea area are a nightmare. And fucked up Central Africa as usual. Got The whole Middle East and North Africa right in one go though.

Oh and it was bloody damn hard to place all those small countries. Especially Bahrein, which I could only place because I knew where it lies. Can't even see it on the map.

Something strange is going on with my "The"'s. They're all getting capitalised for no apparent reason.

HEH... I only got Bahrein because I had one left over and the only spot that showed up on mouseover was it! But isn't it the richest? It looked more like a flaw on the map, not like it was a whole entire country.

Excellent link! Thanks!
I goofed on Mauretania (for some reason I thought it was more central) and on Turkmenistan (I was trying to go with logic and place it closer to Turkey).
