Well, I hope that those of you who live down there did better than I did - I got four right, and three of those were lucky guesses.

Well, I used to know many of these as it was the area in which I worked when I had a job at the university of Hawaii. We served clients from the entire Pacific island area and sent curriculum to them upon request.
I should be able to do it, but, the map seems infinitesimally small. It's my eyes perhaps.

Then, if you type tah then realize the real name is fre in that system, you're cooked.

I got about five, including Australia!
I'm going to take another stab though. I think these games are hard when the computer is really picky about the clicking and dragging functions. The American states had to be within a hair of the location and the tiny Eastern seaboard states are very hard to drop without getting it wrong.

I'm not just grousing, but, I think once you've got the trick, you get a better score.

I only got 7 correct. Mostly because I thought of a country I knew was in Oceania and kept typing that until it came up, then switched to another country.

There are some more good, 'clickable', geographical quizzes here.

Thanks for those - it appears that Southeast Asia has gotten some new names since I last paid much attention to it.

yay I got 10/22. Though I must say I sort of stumbled into a correct answer on the Marshall islands one. I was trying to say marianas for that so I typed in mar and it gave me credit. I'll take it though!
