    Default Geography Quiz

    This is like the History Quiz,

    1.Ask a question

    2.People guess

    3.Who get's it right ask the next question

    Simple. Ask questions about where countries,Cities, that sort of stuff are.
    Any Questions? there will be soon! Also there can be no Multiple guess's in one post! One Guess-One SPot, but you can ost more times!
    Rules
    1.Now make them Capital Cities,Countries, MAIN CITIES. But no small cities, only like, for example
    Berlin,Frankfut,Hamburg. You can ask where that is but no small town around where you live or something, they can only be BIG CITIES. New York,Hong Kong, that sort of thing

    2. please do not drag on the question, if no one seems to be gettign the answer, then you amy reveal, unless they ask you not to.

    3.No arguring, if you think an answer is not right, then we will go with majority.

    4.If you have any suggestions for other rules, then go suggesting (by PM to me)

    5. And also you can not guess multiple time in one post, you can't go paris,London,Berlin, as it covers more places and you have a higher chance, so everyone just one guess per post.

    5.Also do not suggest a continet unless specifed to in the question, if not said do not go Asia or EUrope.
    First Question- Where is Stockholm?

    Assuming it's not a trick question, and Sweden is the answer, my question is this:

    In which city did the lovers take their lives after the two gentlemen?

    I think that multiple answers shouldn't be allowed so I am going to answer only on the first one.

    Venice - no.

    Correct.

    Venice (about 400) is known for it's bridges, and amsterdam is known as "venice of the north/northern venice" although it surpasses venice in number of bridges (around 1200), but hamburg rules supreme.
    Almost 2500 bridges...

    edit: Gah, that was bad timing.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    I've heard that description given many times to a city, but it wasn't Amsterdam. Every single time I hear "the Venice of the north" it refers to Bruges

    I'm pretty sure that I'm right, unless it is a trick question, so I am going to ask a new one, to keep the game going.

    Egypt is known as the gift of the Nle. What asian country shares similar conditions (inhospitable land and fertile river plain)?
