  17. 14/16 – not bad for a Brit! I don’t know what is meant by “Baja California Sur” – that’s new to me. What does Sur mean? Presumably it’s the same as in Big Sur?

    • You did much better than I would have, John, that’s for sure! I have no idea what is Big Sur, but the peninsula of Baja California is divided into two Mexican states, the southernmost being BC Sur, the final word meaning ‘south’.

      • Thanks for the explanation. I understand that Big Sur is in California and is the origin of the novel title “A Confederate General from Big Sur”.

    • Oh, you did: well done! So many of these (and others I didn’t include) look very ‘boxy’ to me – and similar to each other. We don’t have any straight-line borders in the Olde Worlde 😀
