This is fun!

I can identify all mainland countries but have really hard time with the island nations in Oceania and the Caribbean. Would love to have an option to select which specific area I want to practice with.

Also for countries that I can identify with first click, I have to keep clicking until the cycle is complete. It make sense to zoom and ask to identify the countries again, but maybe stop after getting it right continuously ~3 times?

I tick a lot of boxes and I've always excelled beyond expectations when hired for positions that I did not have good match on experience. Hire me! My guarantee, I'll surprise you.

Hey you are missing Mauritius!

Nice game. Would be great if the gameplay moved on to the next country after a correct or wrong answer, without the need to hit the "Continue" button.

Got 182/195! Hate the Oceania and Caribbean for always making me lose points in quizzes :D

Having lived both in Estonia and Belgium, I think this is just an initial attraction. Estonia is a strange country. While the tech-sector is booming, other sectors are struggling. Average blue collar jobs pay is similar to few 3rd world countries. The ageing population coupled with slow birth rate, brings other problems for the state. Health service sector is deteriorating with almost all health professionals eyeing to migrate to West Europe and USA or even Finland. Public infrastructure is bad, don't even have to go more than 10km outside of Tallinn center to notice it. The tech and startup scene is indeed one of the best in Europe, but the tech utopia fascination will wear off in few years unless you succeed in becoming filthy rich. On the long run, you will start noticing the overall quality of life is much much better in Belgium.

Didn't expect a JS heavyweight like you replying. Thanks flybayer :) Any reasons you do not suggest Blitz for this?

This method of convolution of the sound is nowadays utilised in "profiling" amps like the ones made by Kemper. There are these particular amps, effects, speakers, and/or their specific combos, which are considered sacred/sweet/holy which are highly sought after. But most of them cost a lot. There's also the problem faced by touring bands where they have to lug around huge setups. And then there's the issue of maintenance and repairs. These profiling amps help musicians capture the sound of their favorite setups and replicate it in a compact setup. Hugely popular, if not for the price. There are still purists who swear by the sound of 'analog' setups, but for most of the purposes the sound is identical. Fascinating stuff.
