You probably know the drill. If not:
You give as many correct answers as you can out of the nine listed. Each one gives you points:
1 correct: 1
2 correct: 3
3 correct: 6
4 correct: 10
5 correct: 15
6 correct: 21
7 correct: 28
If you give a single wrong answer, you get zero for that question. Send all quizzes to nick@nexet.net. No outside sources allowed.
Note: National Geographic Society World Political Map (2001) is the final authority.

I saw Lepton running away in shame, and I haven't seen him since.
Congrats DP, and well-run!
