        I goofed on the Indian flag, and like an idiot I marked the euro sign as standing for pound -- even though I knew better.

                Same here. I know zero about the land of China, so I'm not offended.

                  I only knew that because I've seen charts that show that Nigeria will be the 3rd largest country (population) by like 2050, (currently 7th!), replacing USA which is #3.

                        Spoilers are knowledge suppression tactics employed by republicans to keep disadvantaged people from access to facts.

                          Oops sorry, will do that now. I was arrogant and presumed folks are like me and don't read the thread knowing there could be spoilers in it!

                                    11/12. Also didn’t know the Chinese Muslim province. I thought Macau for some reason as being close to SE Asian Muslim culture but I guess I dinged that one.
