Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. Then, try to name the THIRD LARGEST city in each grid square. To name a city, you must first click on the grid square to make it have a GREEN border. Then, type in the city answer for that square followed by a '.' (a period). You are given a score from 0 to 100 based on your answer's population compared to the 3rd largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the 3rd largest city). If you guess the largest city it will be based on the ratio of the 3rd largest city's population to the largest.
AK and HI are NOT included in this quiz as they often have grid squares with only one answer for this quiz.
At the end of the quiz the 3rd largest city will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the 3rd largest city will be listed next to your score if you didn't answer it.

For Friesland:
(these are a few municipalities)
For the Netherlands, Wikipedia (for each municipality seperately) is a better source than Citypopulation
This isn’t munis though, this is “Urban Centres” which is how Netherlands tabulates their census data:
https://citypopulation.de/en/netherlands/
I do have separate Netherlands municipality quizzes.
I meant these are points for a few municipalities in Friesland. I live there, and all those places have placename markers. Citypopulation is very inaccurate for the Netherlands. This website https://opendata.cbs.nl/#/CBS/nl/dataset/86312NED/table?ts=1775233527049 of the Dutch Bureau for Statistics contains all official places in the Netherlands.
Helden, Oirsbeek en Amstenrade seems to be missing in Limburg… They should be large enough
I’m not even seeing Helden on citypopulation.de – maybe the census doesn’t consider it one of the places they tabulate?
strange, i’ts relatively ‘big’, maybe it is added to Panningen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helden,_Limburg
These are not places in Flevoland, just neighbourhoods: #1 Emmeloord-Emmelhage (0%) #2 Nobelhorst (23.52%) #3 Lelystad-Zuigerplas (0%)#23 #4 Lelystad-Kromkamp (0%) #5 Houtribhaven (0%) #6 Lelystad-Parkhaven (0%) #7 Flevopoort (5.88%) #8 Lelystad-Groene Velden (0%) #9 Lelystad-Jagersveld (0%) #10 Almere-Schapenbos (0%)
Can you remove them from the list?
Many regards, Paul
The Dutch census counts them as ‘urban places’ which is what I use for Dutch populations. The Dutch census actually doesn’t even tabulate ‘city’ populations.
Thanks for your reply.
I’m afraid they are wrong. I grow up in that province and never heard of those ‘places’.
Yeah the Dutch census is weird in how they tabulate data…they do use ‘urban places’ instead of ‘cities’ though, you can see on this page:
https://citypopulation.de/en/netherlands/
Oud-Loosdrecht/Nieuw-loosdrecht are here with Utrecht (it’s in North Holland). On the map you can see both fall outside of the provincial borders.
Interesting – citypopulation.de has them in Utrecht, however Wikipedia says they are in North Holland. I’ll move them to North Holland.
Maybe you should’t rely too much on our Germans friends. They have 80 years old maps probably 😀 And we’re continuously changing our lower administrative divisions as you know by now. 🙂
