I'm going back to that page to see if they have other maps.
No others like that, as far as I could see. There must be lots of things of the sort on-line somewhere, but I'm not finding them.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Other than that I'd be fairly stuck although in most cases I'd have a general idea where they are.
And really, isn't this the most important part? Not just with the states, but in general. I wish I'd done better on that ME/Africa map, because there was a time when I wouldn't have hesitated on any of them. But I knew which region each was - what's North African v. Gulf states, etc., and I hope I'd do as well on any continent. In terms of understanding political situations, that's a pretty good start, and the details can follow.
When I was a teenager I'd have scorned me for saying something like that. Ah well.

Yep, Brenda. The only reason it's useful to know exact positions is for questions about borders. Like, I'd have some difficulty saying offhand which countries share a border with Afghanistan. (I know Pakistan, obviously, and Iran, but I'd at least have to think about the others.)
t edit Of course being a Virgo I checked. It's Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and little bits of China (that's actually the one I was wondering about) and India (Kashmir?).

Here we go (it's surprising how tough it was to Google these): South-East Asia, Africa, and a Name that State game, which is (IMHO) harder than the drag-and-drop ones.
Um, yeah. I'm procrastinating.

basically Angus, all the 'stans plus China and Iran.
Cindy, Bahrain was the almost invisible island dot just above Qatar.
The only atlas I have to hand still lists Czechoslovakia, Ceylon, the Belgian Congo, and Italian East Africa.

Queensland goes on top, right? :-)

Now I feel better. 120 on SE Asia (out of 130). I'll go back and do Africa later.

YUp Queensland is the one that sticks up to a point on the east side.

I'm glad to have linked something that made you happy, brenda. For the record, I got 45 out of 130. I am ignorant.
