But I like it anyway. What's sad is how far off I am from so many of the U.S. cities. But I did much better in the world map with scramble which I don't care for. Does anyone know exactly how you select an opponent? Also who gets to pick the map? I got thrown off for some reason. Maybe it go tired seeing such bad answers? GGGGG Hey, it’s not perfect.

Its present day borders are conterminous with those of the District, but that hasn't always been the case. Georgetown and Alexandria were separate, incorporated cites in the early history of DC, and I think a portion of Anacostia in SW DC also was in the mid-19th century.

They wanted the one in Oregon, not Maine. That was a 50/50 shot, but I was sure "Washington" was not the state since it didn't have DC. I think they reason they are wrong is because they are looking for cities, not states. Maimi, for example. Which is also wrong because Washington D.C. is not a city either, even though we all treat it as such. And there's no obvious place on the site to give them feedback either.
