russia should use federal subjects not federal districts, romania should use counties instead of development regions, and republic srpska should be allowed for bosnia’s largest division
Yeah i wanted to make the divisions kinda match between countries, so they are basically the largest divisions of each, in a few cases they may technically not be an administrative first-level division, but I didn’t want countries to have larger divisions than the ones shown in this quiz.
romanias development regions are purely statistical
yes I realize that, some others are not ‘official’ as well but wanted to have the ‘largest’ regions for each country.
there is actually a standard list of these divisions, ISO 3166-2
yes, but I’m not going by that 🙂 didn’t want any with tons of divisions – some first-level are well over 100.
I was robbed of the answer for Uzbekistan because it didn’t accept a K instead of a Q. The K is much more common in English.
