Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. If you are standing in the southern portion of Ethiopia, facing north, what is the country that is off in the distance to your right?

Answer: Somalia

Somalia is the only country to the east of the southern portion of Ethiopia. This means that it is the only country that is off to your right if you are facing north in the southern half of the country. If you were further north, the country to your right if you were facing north would be either Djibouti or Eritrea, depending on exactly where you were standing.
2. If you were standing in Santiago, Dominican Republic and facing south, what is the capital city of the first country that is off to your right?

Answer: Port-au-Prince

If you are facing south in the Dominican Republic, Haiti is the first country that is off to your right, or to the west. Port-au-Prince is the capital of that country. San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico, but that country is to the east of the Dominican Republic. Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas, a country northwest of the Dominican Republic. Hamilton is the capital of the Bahamas, a country that is north and slightly east of the Dominican Republic.
3. If you were standing in Phoenix, Arizona and facing north, which state would be the first one off to your right?

Answer: New Mexico

Arizona lies in the southwestern part of the US. The states that lie on its borders include California to the west, Nevada to the west, Utah to the north, and New Mexico to the east. The country of Mexico borders Arizona to the south. If you are in Arizona and facing north, that means that east would be to your right. New Mexico is the only state to border Arizona in that direction.
4. If you are standing in Winnipeg, Manitoba and facing south, what is the capital of the next province that is off to your right?

Answer: Regina

When you are facing south in Manitoba, the province of Saskatchewan is the next one off to your right. The capital of Saskatchewan is Regina.
5. If you are in Stockholm, Sweden and facing north, what body of water would be off to your right?

Answer: Baltic Sea

The Baltic Sea lies to the east of Sweden. If you are standing in Stockholm and facing north, this means that the Baltic Sea is off to your right. The North Sea lies to the west of Sweden and Norway. The Atlantic Ocean lies to the south west of the Scandinavian peninsula. The Bering Strait lies between Alaska and Russia.
6. If you are standing in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and facing west, what state is the next one off to your right?

Answer: New South Wales

Melbourne is in Victoria in the southeastern corner of Australia. If you are standing there and facing west, the first state to the north, or off to your right, is New South Wales. Tasmania is an island territory that would be on your south side, or off to your left. The remaining two options would be more in front of you because they are in the western half of the country of Australia.
7. If you were standing in Santiago, Chile and facing south, which of these would be off to your right?

Answer: Pacific Ocean

Chile is a long and narrow country that runs down the west coast of South America. If you are standing in Santiago and facing south, the only thing on this list that is to the west, or off to your right, is the Pacific Ocean. The other countries listed all lie in South America, but are all north or east of Chile (behind you or off to the left if you are facing south).
8. If you are driving west in Seoul, South Korea, what country is off to the right?

Answer: North Korea

If you are travelling west, that means that the direction of north would be on your right. The only country that borders South Korea on your right, or north side is North Korea. In some cases, North Korea is referred to as the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" (DPRK) and South Korea is referred to as the "Republic Of Korea" (ROK).
9. If you are kayaking and travelling north on the longest river in Canada, what province/territory would be on the right bank?

Answer: Northwest Territories

The Mackenzie River is Canada's longest. It begins at Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories and flows north through the territory into the Arctic Ocean. So, even if you were travelling south, the Northwest Territories would still be on your right.
10. If you are standing on the east coast of the Juan de Nova Island off the coast of Mozambique and facing north, what body of water would be on your right side?

Answer: Mozambique Channel

The Juan de Nova Island lies just off the east coast of Mozambique in the Mozambique Channel. If you are standing on the east coast of the island and facing north, that means that the direction of east is on your right side. Far off in the distance is Madagascar, and the body of water that lies between you and that country is the Mozambique Channel.
