Question Time, Part II

The challenge was to name the country on each continent with the highest number of visitors to Fuck Yeah, Geography Major Alligator!

Absolutely everyone answered correctly for North America and Australia: the U.S. and Australia, respectively (and obviously). Only a few people guessed wrong for Europe, South America, and Africa: the U.K., Brazil, and South Africa, respectively.

The number one Asian country was not named. It’s not India, Japan, or China. One person said Russia was the largest Asian source of visitors; it would have been, but the vast majority of Russian traffic came from Moscow and St. Petersburg and therefore it counts as European.

So for all the marbles (maybe a promo?): what Asian country likes Geography Alligator the most?

Question time!

Geography Alligator has been up and running for over a year now, with over 14,000 visits. Some countries seem to visit more than others, though.

For the purpose of this quiz, the seven-continent model will be used. And here’s a freebie: Antarctica has zero countries. Can you guess the country on each continent with the highest number of visitors to Fuck Yeah, Geography Major Alligator!?

No offense to anyone who might be from there, but I can’t help but think Nauru sounds more like a character from the Legend of Zelda.

Hi, everyone!

If it’s something available where you are (and since most of you are from the US or Canada, it probably is), you should watch Jeopardy! tonight because my GIS instructor from last semester is on it.

Cheer for your fellow geographer!
