Yay for geography!!!

http://sickflash.com/swf/country_eur..._drag-drop.swf

My score was:

(yeah, I defy you to find places like where to put Vatican City or San Marino on that map even if you know where they are roughly)

USA

My score was:
88% correct

Those first ones really are hard, but at least I had Latvia instead of Lichenstein, so I had a coastline to work with.

kind of embarrasing but 88% for Europe and 82% for USA. I was way off for Colarado and Wyoming. There are just as hard to place as those tiny ones, I have no idea where in Italy San Mario is.

91% Europe, average error 24 miles

I've played these before, though a while ago. On the site where they're from ( i think these are duplicates) there are something like 5 different levels, down to knowing the capitals of the countries.
