From Canada to Mexico: North America in Three Countries

North America, strictly speaking, comes down to three states. Canada, the second-largest country in the world after Russia, with Ottawa as its capital. The United States, whose federal capital, Washington, D.C., is distinct from New York City. Mexico, home to Mexico City, one of the ten largest metropolitan areas in the world. The easy questions cover these capitals, Brazil's official language of Portuguese, or the Panama Canal. The medium questions tackle Chile, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Cuba.

Central America, the Caribbean, and the Southern Cone: Where the Real Challenge Lies

This is where things get tricky. Belize and its capital, Belmopan; Guyana and Georgetown; Suriname and Paramaribo; Paraguay and Asunción; Uruguay and Montevideo; Honduras and Tegucigalpa. Not to mention the special case of Bolivia, whose constitutional capital is Sucre while La Paz serves as the seat of government. The quiz also tests Suriname's sole official language (Dutch), the two countries that share the island of Hispaniola, and France's territory in South America.
