All the same names, just repeated hundreds of times. I think we should attempt to count the number of Washington Streets in New England. It's absolutely ridiculous trying to navigate round here. What did they call them before the insurrection? |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I could. And the states of Mexico too. And the countries of Europe. Assuming they have not changed today. Past that I get a bit haz, but I used to know the republics ofthe USSR. |

Thaks, Riley. I had seen the US one quite a long time ago, but the Canadian one was new. It was not hard because of all the irregular coast lines in most provinces. I didn't know Prince Edward Island was a separate province. Big Al |

I got 98% (2 miles) on my first try, but I managed to get 100% after many tries. Here are many more. Clicking on a region gives you several games of various difficulty. |

Wow, I tried the one where you have to resize, and rotate the provinces, and that was pretty hard. I only got 10/13. I won't even attempt that with the states. |
