Just a guess. I couldn't think of any other areas named after animal parts.Quote:

Correct, Marshal Murat, I was referring to Iceland and Denmark because Greenland still isn't an independent nation.
What province has an Elk and Narwhal on their coat of arms?
Nunavut, not that long ago a part of Northwest Territories?
Correct.
In what country lies the Pico?
Portugal? Or perhaps the US, if you count the Moon as their territory. :laugh4:
I know there's one in Italy.
Justiciar has the right answer with Portugal, Mount Pico is a volcano on the Azores.
Hmm wouldn't the moon be property of the countries underneath it? Read 'the man who sold the moon':scholar:
Huzzah! Took me a while to think of something, but here thee go;
What is the name of the river that flows through the first Russian city to encounter the Blue Horde? :dizzy2:
Am I allowed three guesses?
Dnieper?
Don?
Volga?
Depends what you consider Russian. But...
Wolga
By Russian I'd mean any city within Rus hands in the mid-13th century. None right so far. I'll tell you what - if no one gets it by Tuesday I'll let someone else take it, since I won't be around.
The Volga is the Easternmost big river of European Russia... is it a tributary?
'tis indeed.
Hmmm... the first city to be attacked was Ryazan. Is it the Oka River?
Huzzah! Your turn, sir.
Yay! Now, lemme think of a good question...
In what country and what region was the location of arguably the first battle where positional warfare was employed in the West?
