Let's see I got 39/45 (87%) with an average error of 40 miles
Most of them were just putting them a bit off in proportion, but I admit that I only knew that Slovenia was somewhere between Italy and Greece and that I had no idea where Moldova was (other then somewhere in Eastern Europe).

Moldova is just a former Soviet Republic. It's about Russian speaking Transdyenstria (well, the region at the border of the Dnyestr river on the east), and the Romanian speaking Upper Bessarabia (The Lower Bessarabia belonging to Ukraine).Perfection said:
There has been an agreement between Russia and Romania about a plan to divide the country in two. Upper Bessarabia would join Romania and Transdnyestria would join the Russian Federation. That would make of Transdnyestria a 2nd Russian enclave after the one of Kaliningrad, between Lithuania and Poland. Kaliningrad being the former Königsberg (birthplace of Kant) in former Eastern Prussia.

Good to see that the USAmericans now think we're so rich
There is one good thing about being a small country - at least they don't even bother to include you in most of the bad maps

CNN seems to have lots of fun maps
I can't even conceive of that one. Some of those just can't be real.
The US map is easy, its like a jigsaw with the rivers following the borders. I was lucky to get the north eastern states late in the game

Europe: 98% - I've placed Monaco a bit off, but the rest was correct
US: 68% - OK, I am an ignorant (and the borders are too damn straigt
). But hey, that's not the same! How many of you Americans can correctly place the German Bundesländer?

82%. I got Albania, San Marino, Lichtenstein, Slovenia and Lithuania wrong. And slipped when putting down Czech Republic and Andorra. Honest!http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/country_europe_G2_drag-drop.swf
That's a really cool geography quiz!

Good point, but hey, at least we went to the trouble of narrowing our continent down to three major countries, and we're presently working on consolidating the little ones on the bottom.
Actually, come to think of it, why can't we just place the EU? The German Bundesländer and French regions are simply equivalent to counties in US states.
