True or False - Europe?

[AviatorTom]

Continuing with some fun geography questions... this one is a little different from the NORTH AMERICA question, there is only one TRUE statement.

Here are four geography statements... three are false and one is TRUE. Can you identify the TRUE one? Vote for the one you think is TRUE, the others are false.

Please don't cheat by looking them up. Make your best guess, vote for the one you think is TRUE, and have fun.

The category for today is Europe. A similar question for ASIA should be posted later this week, followed by SOUTH AMERICA and ASIA sometime after that.

The correct answer (which one is TRUE) will be given in a few days (Wednesday).

In the comments section, please tell us which format you like better: ONE FALSE and the rest true (like NORTH AMERICA question), or ONE TRUE and the rest false (like this Europe question)?

Good luck!

Liechtenstein is the smallest country in Europe.

Sweden is larger in area than Spain.

Malta is the southernmost country in Europe.

Istanbul is the most populous city in Europe.

Thanks to all for participating...

Here is the correct answer... D...
A - FALSE, San Marino is smaller, and Vatican City, at 0.49 sq km, is the smallest country in Europe
B - FALSE, Spain's 498 sq km is slightly larger than Sweden's 450 sq km
C - FALSE, Greece's island of Crete is the southernmost; some people pointed out Spain's Ceuta and Melilla in Africa are farther south but they're actually not
D - TRUE, Istanbul has 16 million people, second is Moscow at 12 million

I read the statements without reading the question details, and I was surprised seeing there are more than one false statements. I think this new format might be a bit more challenging for people

Anyway, I think D is the only true statement. Vatican city is the smallest country in Europe, so A is false. Spain is larger in area than Sweden and the island of Crete (which is in Greece), is the southernmost point in Europe

[SoftCliff]

I personally prefer this format. I like geography questions, they're fun and something different

[jengeorge26]

Geography is not my best subject, but I know that Istanbul is very populated?

[Cubus]

A - clearly not, because the smallest is Vatican city

B - could be, but it's tricky. Sweden looks very big on the maps, but Mercator maps are usually quite misleading
C - I think Spain colonies in Africa (Ceuta and Melila) are more on the Sout
D - could be. Stambuł is enormous.

I vote D.

[exitseven]

It is A. I learned this years ago. It is in the guiness book of records.

[AviatorTom]

So you think A is true?

[exitseven]

yes it is A.

[Cubus]

Mate, Vatican City is the smallest.

[exitseven]

@Cubus is it a country? It looks like a city to me.

[Cubus]

It is a city and a country. Like poleis in Ancient Greece.

Thanks for the MHO😎

The smallest country in Europe is actually Vatican City.

[Amy10223]

Malta is below Italy, so it may be that one. I thought it to be "A" as well, but am not sure.

[AviatorTom]

Interesting thinking...

[Amy10223]

Oh well, I forgot about Greece and Crete!

[TheFlak38]

This is so easy I can't believe there are retards who actually voted D when fuckin Constantinople is not even Europe!

[AviatorTom]

Check which side of the Bosporus that Istanbul is on... and please don't call people retards.

[TheFlak38]

I'll call them whatever I want. Turkey is not Europe and Constantinople is not European either. Next you'll tell us they deserve to become members of the EU as if being a NATO member is not fucked up enough.

[FinalFantasyBro]

I choose Sweden being bigger than Spain but I eventually need to check to see if that is true or not.

[RobT312]

Fun questions and this is a good format

[LimitedBenefits101]

Never heard of A and C but anyways I don't know much about Europe.

[TacosRAwesome]

Balls. I definitely voted wrong.

[AviatorTom]

We're giving out mulligans... just tell us which one you think is false.

[TacosRAwesome]

You mean true? C

[Anonymous]

False, True, True, False

[AviatorTom]

Remember that only one of the four statements is true.

[qwert1234]

I voted A.
