Was looking for one with lots of lines that didn't actually join up form any useful connections between places. But no, Dublin doesn't seem to be on the map as yet

I did this earlier this morning. 10/12 based purely on educated guesses. US and Australia maps easy to guess on the basis of lack of infrastructure, portland being the exception but as the hipster capital of the world that was also easy to work out.

I got number 9 wrong, but I was second-guessing the quiz and thinking it wouldn't be the more obvious one. It was. I had a couple of educated guesses too.
