Europe Administrative Division Capitals
DirectionsName the capitals (or if no capital/administrative center exists, then largest city) of the administrative divisions of each European country. A handful may just have the country itself or a regional division if it doesn’t have administrative divisions. Russia & Turkey are divisions with capitals in Europe only, however a handful of divisions for a couple countries are outside of Europe geographically so you may have to zoom out. A couple dependent territories are also included if they are an integral part of the country. Some cities may count twice when answered if they’re the capital of multiple divisions (such as a province’s capital and an autonomous city).
Quiz Takers 
Is there something off with the Estonian capitals? I think some of the markers might be misplaced, like the ones for Ida-Viru county (Polva triggers that dot, but is in the south-east of the country) and Jogeva county (triggered by Kärdla, which is on the Hiiuma island)?
This quiz doesn’t work for some reason, not accepting any of my answers (Paris, Dublin, Moscow, Rome), etc…
try reloading you should see markers
Please update for France’s new divisions and new name of kropyvnitski

Is there a reason why the quiz includes the French departments outside Europe, but not the Russian subjects outside Europe?
probably just cause France is considered a European-based country only, whereas Russia is considered both based in Europe and Asia, also would be a large proportion of locations outside Europe geographically.
1516 (there’s no way to reply to your message above), of course Moldova also has way too many divisions but I’m sure Darin couldn’t find a suitable easier partition of the country. For Swiss it was obvious that it should be the Cantons, what else could it be? Sure we don’t get to choose how many regions a country has… I was referring to quiz-context only as I’m sure there’s not a huge player demand to have 30 Latvia regions to guess. In reality they can have as much as they want… Hell, Monaco has 10 administrative divisions.
Why do you have Balashikha for Moscow Oblast, but no city for Leningrad Oblast? Also some places seem to be in a different location, for example Selfoss and Keflavík in Iceland and Kumanovo in Macedonia. And I’m pretty sure Latvia has more regions and capitals (for example Ventspils is missing)
ill fix the locations…forgot to put in Leningrad’s largest city. Latvia has only 6 statistical regions.
why do you use statistical regions?
Latvia has about 100 municipalities – i didn’t want to have a ton of regions for a particular country so i used statistical regions for Latvia (much like using countries for England).
you can use the administrative division before 2009 – it has about 30 regions
30 divisions for a country the size of Latvia is way too much. The current 6 seems about right. There’s also problem with the loading time for this quiz… if you add more border files the worse it will get.
But 35 for Moldova or 26 for Switzerland is okay eh? We’re not the ones to decide how many regions should the country have.
there are only six regions for Latvia. the next step is the municipalities, of which there are about 100.
