Geography, Maps, Thank Goodness For The Web

So there I was watching a nature programme, and they showed an outline of Sierra Leone, oh yes I thought, thats somewhere around Brazil.

Less, you are the the weakest link, good bye.
Sierra Leone as everyone else but me probably knows is in Africa!

So I thought how about a map quiz? So below is an outline of a Country what you have to do is name it and it's Capital.

If this is interesting I'll put others on, and sometimes (but not this time) I might flip the image just to make it more difficult.

Let me know if you want more.

Additional question - what is the major religion in this country?

Is it Cambodia?

Theravada Buddhism?

steeljack 23-04-2006 23:59

Re: Geography, Maps, Thank Goodness For The Web
 
I'll take a stab at it being the Ukraine on the Black sea , religion Russian orthodox

Madhatter 24-04-2006 00:47

It is quite, but if you think logically, (which I never do,) you can get it through elimination.

Extra clue, there are no waves to be drawn on the map, as I asked Less to do for his first one.

Switzerland?

WillowTheWhisp 24-04-2006 21:20

Re: Geography, Maps, Thank Goodness For The Web
 
Is it Macedonia? In which case the majority religion would be Orthodox Christianity.

garinda 24-04-2006 22:09

Re: Geography, Maps, Thank Goodness For The Web
 
Not Switzerland or Macedonia, though it is in Europe.
