The Geography Thread Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I thought it was time to bring back an old tradition. (Any CGNer would probably also know that I recently started this up again over there as well.) Here are the rules for the uninitiated:


  • The object of the game is to figure out what country I'm thinking of. You can do this by asking yes/no questions about anything relating to it. Whoever ends up guessing the country gets the noble prize of being able to pick the next one.
  • For the purposes of this game, all countries used must have a listing in the CIA World Factbook.
  • If the question you ask me is not a yes/no question, it does not count in the list and you will simply be ignored.
  • If my response to your question is yes, you can ask another question, but you must wait for two other people to ask questions before doing so.
  • If my response to your question is no, you are out of the game, unless your question is one of the first three asked. (Essentially, the first three questions are freebies. Use them well.)
  • If I respond yes to three questions from the same person, that person receives an extra life. (The person can receive an answer of no to one question and still remain in the game.)
  • You may not guess the country as one of the first three questions. After that point, anyone still in the game can guess the country at any time, even if you just asked a question.


"You may fire when ready."

Please clarify for me what you mean by "old world". I can do some research, but not on a broad topic like THAT.

You'd be surprised... it usually takes about twenty questions before we run out of interested people... and if that happens, everyone miraculously revives

I wasn't in contradiction of the other questions. Not all of Africa is in the Eastern Hemisphere. If it is not on either of the American continents, Europe of Asia, that only leaves Australasia and Africa (since there are no countries in Ant-artica). In the western Hemisphere rules out Australasia, leaving only Africa.

You have now ruled out the entire world

By old world I meant Euroasian comtinent + Africa, vs new world both Americas + Australia and Oceania.

Anyway it is kinda tricky if the country is in western hemisphere and not in Europe Asia or America

Nauru is in the eastern hemisphere. As far as I know there are only 3 'counties' in Oceania but in the western hemisphere and I am not sure if they all count as countries...
