The Geography Game

maestrowork · Nov 14, 2008

With Egypt and Iraq and Russia and China featured in the news and the election lately, it may be fun to have a geography game.

The rules are very simple. I'll start with a question. Whoever answers it correctly will ask the next question, and so on and so forth. Try to keep this going -- so no asking extremely obscure questions!

The first one is easy:

Q. What is the biggest country in Asia?

Vincent · Nov 14, 2008

A: Russia.

Q: What's the capital of Turkey?

EDIT:

Wait, is it still?

FURTHER EDIT:

Gotta be.

Biggest in land mass, or population?

Land mass, instead of most populated. Beezle got it.

Cool game.

(If it becomes too much fun, Peter will swoop down from the Prompts and Games forum and steal it from under our feet!)

Wouldn't want a mod doing something like that, would we?

A: Ankara (capital of Turkey)

Q: What's the smallest country in the world.

Okay. This is a bit easy too, but all I could think up at the moment:

Which the world's largest ocean?

maxmordon · Nov 14, 2008

The Pacific Ocean?

maestrowork · Nov 14, 2008

The Pacific Ocean.

Q. What is the nearest country to the United States of America that is not sharing a land border?

maxmordon · Nov 14, 2008

My turn, Maestro... I think

Name one of the two double landlocked countries in the world.

maestrowork · Nov 14, 2008

Lichtenstein.

Q. What is the closest country to the United States of America that is not sharing a land border?

maxmordon · Nov 14, 2008

Is it Russia?

Fingers · Nov 14, 2008

cuba?

Correct. People would say it's the Bahamas (50 miles) but actually technically only 3 miles separate Russia and Alaska.

Next question?

maxmordon · Nov 14, 2008

Which are the two countries that share the highest number of bordering nations?

I'm just waiting until someone asks, "What's the largest soccer arena in the world?" and it's off to the Sports forum we go with this thread.

Alex, what are China and Brazil? (I'm flat out guessing.)

Somehow, I'm distracted, and feel compelled to compose a montage of Ray's abs on youtube, perhaps set to a Captain and Tenneille song...

Huh, what?

I only wagered five dollars on my answer.

Okay, derail over. Carry on.

China is one, Brazil is not.

C.bronco · Nov 14, 2008

Half right! YAY!
