Disclaimer - I do not know most of the answers for sure :D
I can guestimate but a lot of borders aren't RL administrative borders, but rather invented by the designer of this map to suit the game... so statistics are only kept for regions overlapping these territories. However, we could use "The Wisdom of Crowds" to find out.


1.1 what command has the least population per territory?
1.2 What command has the most population per territory?
1.3 What command has the largest population?

2 List the 6 most populous regions

3.1 What regions are known as tax havens?
3.2 and which ones are known to facilitate tax avoidence and evasion etc?
(I had a total of 8 in mind)

4 In what (up to 3) commands are languages of the most language families spoken? (by native local communities; branches don't count as separate)

5 List the least populous regions (16 under 1 million or 26 under 2 million)

6 In what command is the population the most unevenly distributed among regions?

7 What regions receives the most foreign tourists per capita?

8 What region has the most inhabitants per capita?

9 In what region have the most people died from bear attacks since 2ooo?

10 name 2 regions (in different commands) with the most destruction during civil war during the last decade

11 what regions have the highest GDP per capita?

12 what region has the most Ungulates (animals with hooves; livestock) per capita?
(fun fact regarding Ungulates; Whales are classified as ungulates :D So the answer includes whales.)

13 what region has the most indoors Ungulates per capita during winter?
(assuming reindeer aren't kept in a barn during winter)

14 what region has the most poultry per capita? :p

15 what (up to) 9 regions have the highest GDP?

16 name (up to) 5 commands where the capital region does not have the highest GDP

17 name (up to 5) commands where the capital doesn't have the most ungulates.

18 what region has a wind direction in it's name that isn't in English or any other Germanic languages?

19 What command is ecogically the most diverse?

20 What 2 regions boast the most bicycles per capita?

21 What three commands are named after peoples that invaded from the Asian steppes?

22 What other two regions could be called Galicia?

23 What region is named after a metal?

24 What region is named after a fish?

I would award 100 points to whoever gets the most anwers right, but I can't and I don't know what answers are right^^ Also I can't award points and anyone could cheat by copying answers from other players so... sri :)

=
ps I also posted some opinions about this map; I appreciate feedback

Aura, the more answers I get correct, the more points I receive in MC? Or how about the more I get correct, the more you'll waste your stack in Grenze against neutrals? And if I get all correct, you blitz Draig Tower? Deal? Good.

Sounds like I'll be kitchen patrol by 2020 if I agree to these terms :D (if the quiz draws a crowd)
But sure, if you're ever feeling blue, I'll take Draig for you in a casual 2 player if you get 30 guestimations right ;)

Very cool quiz, makes me realise how isolated America is. I don't know the answers to almost all, but I wish I did. I'm not dumb, just ignorant. I do know that former 5 star General and former President Dwight D Eisenhower met secretly with aliens in the nevada desert in 1952.

OK,I'll try :)

1 what command has the least population per territory? and which one has the most?

I would say Iceland has the least (and Austurland within that one), whereas Turkey or Germany would have the most. If you stick with 'inhabitants per territory', thenGermany would probably win, since it has less territories.

2 List the 6 most populous territories

London, Moscow, West Germany, Ile-de-France, Marmara, Saint Petersburg?

3 What territories are known as tax havens or facilitating tax avoidence, evasion etc?

Luxembourg and Switzerland

4 In what command are languages of the most language families spoken?
(I think I have to rephrase this?^^)

I think this must be Finland (Finno-Ugric and Germanic(Indo-European) or Spain (Romanic (Indo-European) and Basque (its own language family). But Baltics are also diverse (Finno-Ugric, Slavic and Baltic (Indo-European))

5 List the 15 least populous territories

I'll list only the 6 least populated ones: Austerland, Vesturland, Nord-Norge, Lappland, Andorra, Malta

6 What command has the most unevenly distributed population?

How do you measure 'unevenness'? I would say Russia and Iceland.

7 What territory receives the most foreign tourists per capita?

That's a tough one. Foreign tourists per Capita... It's probably not the mos populous areas, because there would have to be much more toruists there. Probably Baleares Islands :)

8 What territory has the most inhabitants per capita?

Tha one's easy! Every single territory on the entire map has 1 inhabitant per capita.

9 In what territory have the most people died from bear attacks since 2ooo?

Bears? Somewhere in Sweden? Poland? Russia?

10 name 2 territories (in different commands ; ) with the most destruction during civil war during the last decade

Last decade - i.e. since 2009. That must be Crimea and East Ukraine. And maybe Catalonia.There have been n vicil wars I can think of other than those.

11 what 2 territories have the highest GDP per capita?

London and Switzerland?

12 what territory has the most Ungulates (animals with hooves; livestock) per capita?
(fun fact regarding Ungulates; Whales are ungulates :D So the answer includes whales.)

That would be Bavaria.

13 what territory has the most indoors Ungulates per capita during winter?

What kind of question is that? Denmark??

14 what territory has the most poultry per capita?

I would guess Central Ukraine (where EU regulations regarding poultry farming don't apply...)

15 what 9 territories have the highest GDP?

I don't think it's easy to break down GDP per territory, but I'd say London, Ile-de-France, Swabia & Bavaria, Western Germany, Netherlands and Belgium.

16 name (up to) 5 commands where the capital does not have the highest GDP

Turkey, Germany, maybe Baltics

17 name (up 5) commands where the capital doesn't have the most livestock (joking)

that's hard.... :)

18 what territory has a wind direction in its name that isn't in english?

Austerland and Vesturland in Iceland, Norrland in Sweden as well as Nord-Norge, Vestlandet and Østlandet in Norway.


What did I win?

@Sebrim - Congrats, not bad at all
if you like I can send the answers Ive got for now, although probly not all of them are correct :D
I've had to rephrase some questions too.
such as question 18, so you deserve a 2nd chance on that one ;)
+ added some new ones.
=
14 what region has the most poultry per capita? :p
I would guess Central Ukraine (where EU regulations regarding poultry farming don't apply
I would guess the same, just that geographically it might make more sense if the chicken oligarch would deploy the chicken factory closer to the EU consumers, so in Halych-Volhynia. Makes no sense to drive another hundreds of miles to deliver eggs and meat, makes it more expensive.
perhaps you have a source?
=
13 what territory has the most indoors Ungulates per capita during winter?
What kind of question is that? Denmark??
So I meant ungulates under a roof, in a barn, so reindeer up north aren't included (unless Im mistaken and they are actually kept in barns during the winter?^^)

ty
I can include that factoid if I ever make a quiz on the USA, although it's not my expertise at all :p
