The object of this quiz is to click on the circle containing the largest population within Europe. When you begin you'll be shown 2 circles with radii between 50 and 250 km on the map which do not intersect. Click on the one with the larger Europe population within it (based Europe population density info) then 'Submit' - if you are correct you'll move on. One incorrect round and the quiz is over. Every 5 rounds the number of circles on the map will increase by 1. Try to build the longest streak of correct circles. Circles displayed will always be non-intersecting.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL of Turkey is included in counting population (not just European portion), and the portion of Russia west of 61.5 degrees E (just east of Chelyabinsk). Nothing outside Europe (such as Africa or middle east other than Turkey) is included toward the population count within a circle.
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. 🙂
