    I can find Austria on a map. Does that count?


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    I know 13 PM's, mostly just in the last 50 years, but I also remember the main PM from each world war as well as the first PM and the second quiz is wrong since there are 10 territories, not 2.

    I got one. Hard for me to believe there has never been an Ozzie PM named "Jones," "Bond" or "Franklin." I even tried the old medieval professional standbys: Thatcher, Smith, Cooper, Butler or Cook. Gah!

    I tried to remember "Rudd" for a few minutes and the gave up...

    Only got 3 territories, but I sat their guessing "northern" "southern" "West" "south" "southwestern" etc for quite a while and just never got the right combo I guess

    I got all the states. Or minus one, I couldn't get the name of Canberra / Federal District correct.


    I'm not even going to attempt Australian PM's. Rudd and what's-this-woman's-name is about it I think.

    Ditto. I tried any combination of Canberra, Administrative, Central and Territory but didn't get it.

    Someone has commented on the page to say that you should accept ACT, and that you forgot Jervis Bay Territory. pevergreen how could you?

    It really should just be New Zealand's western island.

    I got 14 names correct. I was going to try "Cook" then I thought "Nah, that would be a massive coincidence." How wrong I was. I haven't even heard of several of the immediately pre and post war.
    Rest in Peace TosaInu, the Org will be your legacy

    I only got half the states right, and forget the prime-ministers: I'm not into international Cockney history

    the animals and Aborigines though a what I really care for; the former for the uniqueness, the latter for the culture they have.
    I was once alive, but then a girl came and took out my ticker.

    tired of ridiculous trouble with walking animations? then you need my brand newmotion capture for the common man!
