    I had almost all correct, except that they didn't allow for the native names of the capitals. It really annoys me when Roma, has to be spelled Rome, Bruxelles becomes Brussels, and København is renamed Copenhagen.

    Same. Entering the English names in correct spelling was more of a challenging than knowing the names.

    Could you please allow different spellings? As already pointed out, if you put the native spelling it's incorrect. Quite annoying.

    Almost all of those were incredibly easy to Europeans. The only ones I had to think for were Latvia and Switzerland! Would have been nice to accept native spellings, rather than just the Anglicised versions.

    Latvia and Lithuania, I apologise for mixing up Vilnius and Riga. But I know where your countries are located, if that makes up for something. (South to north, Poland, Russia (Kaliningrad), Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia )

    Technically we don't have a capital in Switzerland. 😅 Bern is usually used yet as far as I know it's not officially THE capital. Edit: the correct term would be "Bundesstadt" and bc the bigger part of our countries administration is located here it usually takes the role of a capital. 😁 We could however choose any other of our cities 🤣 which is why a lot of foreigners think Zürich is our capital 🤷‍♀️

    What others have said about the spelling/naming - it shouldn't be wrong to enter the native name for these cities. Also, I got two wrong which I wouldn't have minded - except that, oh yeah, I have actually heard of Riga and Bern. Oh well. 😁

    20/20 I've only recently started learning the counties and capitals of Europe. I realised I didn't know where anything was. I thought that's a bit embarrassing a grown adult who doesn't know the counties closest to them. So I started learning the counties on a map of Europe then the capitals and I am currently learning the flags. So I'm pleased with my score.

    Good for you! I’ve been trying to learn all the countries in Europe, then Asia and now working on Oceania and the Americas. I started on European capitals also. I don’t know why I find Africa so daunting!

    So apparently spelling matters since I got Iceland wrong (had Reykjavik but botched the spelling), but math certainly does not matter since it told me "16 / 20 You've completed the quiz with a perfect score!"

    We Hungarians believe that our country matters in Europe, but we should realize that, while it's not even included in this little quiz, we are just a small, unimportant dot on the map.
