Europe Countries Administrative Divisions
DirectionsName the main administrative divisions (tried to use first-level but occasionally 2nd, also included a few special territories that may not be classified as admin divisions) of each European country. Russia/Turkey only show regions within Europe. Regions/areas outside continental Europe are included for some countries – you will have to zoom out to see those. ‘Top 10’ etc categories bottom right refer to top by population. For smaller countries not divided up just name the country to fill it in. NOTE: this quiz will take a few moments to load, so you may have to wait for the map to display.
Quiz Takers 
Hi! Typing Å/Ä/Ö doesn’t seem to work at all, feels a bit weird intentionally misspelling names to get them to fill in
France and Ukraine don’t seem to register when complete. Belgrade only triggers on “Grad Beograd,” which seems picky. Vaduz only triggers on “Valduz.” Bosnia is all messed up.
fixed belgrade and vaduz – looking into other stuff.
It doesn’t load for me.
this one loads a lot of data for the boundaries. it may take a minute. I’ve never had an issue with it but occasionally I think people do.
the district of Bosnia seem to be all mixed up: type Tuzla, get Sarajevo…
France doesn’t become complete even after entering all its regions (including the 5 overseas regions)
for one of the district of Slovakia (the last alphabetical) only the adjective form is accepted, while for all others the city name is accepted
fixing.
Cyprus has only 6 districts
i don’t think I have an available file with the outlines for those 6 so I did the districts of Cyprus and North Cyprus separately for this quiz.
For some reason, this quiz isn’t working for me, and only this quiz. The basic layout loads, but not the data. Entering stuff does nothing, there’s no timer, the Pause button does nothing, etc.
Norway’s counties have changed since the last update (pre-2022) as well.
yeah I see that, can’t find an outline file for those new county boundaries so might just leave as is till I do.
Some of the changes are seemingly quite politically contentious, so they could be reversed 🙂
France’s administrative divisions are outdated as of last year.
The regions still haven’t been updated, even though they appear on the map.
fixed this.
how come some of the regions/municipalties in both serbia and bosnia are messed up(dont appear in red when you guess them in serbia and in bosnia they are mixed up)?
serbia should be good now – will look at bosnia.
Typing in St Gallen colors in both Appenzell Inner Rhodes and Appenzell Outer Rhodes without giving the answers. (This is in Switzerland.)
The capital of Liechtenstein is misspelled.
fixing now – you may have to reload with CTRL + refresh to get the most current fixed version – thanks.
In Spain, Melilla is missing. It has the same status as Ceuta, but they are two separate regions.
they are under ‘ceuta and melilla’ for this quiz.
Hey jona44, congrats on transcribing all 733 regions… *sigh*
Thanks, it took some doing to remember the small countries…
What should I type to get Päijät-Häme and Zakarpattia?? Also when you type Krasnodar it colors Adygea in, but doesn’t give the answer. BTW, what’s the point of including the French Overseas regions (and some other regions that are not in Europe) but not Russian and Turkish regions that are in Asia?
The French Overseas regions, as well as Madeira and Canary Islands, are so few that it would silly the left them out just because they’re outside Europe. The quiz would look incomplete without them. They belong to an European country and that’s it. Russia and Turkey have a lot or regions that stretch beyond the usual Huge Quiz Europe/Asia division. That’s how I see it anyway.
fixed those two you mentioned – typos. fixing the Adygea issue.
Now if I type “Paijat Hame” it only gives the northeastern part of the region, the other 2 parts are still left blank. Also you’ve got another error in Finland – Varsinais-Suomi and Kanta-Häme both don’t work (neither do Southwest Finland or Finland Proper), but if you type Tavastia Proper it gives you both regions
should be good now.
fyi found a current file for Denmark, so it has its 5 regions now instead of the counties which were outdated.
doesn’t work for me
oops messed up fixing something – should be good now.
A bit weird to see an empty UK but then again at 406 administrative divisions it would be completely overkill.
Ireland has counties so not sure why not UK! OK some unitary city council areas but hardly overkill to show? England doesn’t have its own government so it’s not an ‘administrative’ division.
yeah but I want to keep the number per country not too high, so just sticking to the way it is for now in terms of the level of administrative division.
I can get the map to load, but I can’t get the quiz to really start. I’ve entered divisions that I know to exist, but nothing registers, and the counter sits at 0/0, despite the clock counting up.
you’ll have to try reloading it – and hold CTRL when clicking refresh. it probably didn’t load all the line data, and there’s well over 50MB of it. if it loads correctly you’ll see the outlines of all divisions and the counters will have numbers before you even start (i.e. 0/752 for divisions).
i tried to use the most current divisions of each country, however for some i was unable to find a file with the current outlines – example is Denmark which i used previous counties instead of the current regions.
