Level 4 has been my best, which is pretty good...for me. World traveler and foreign enthusiast I am not.
Ah, I've found a reference. The game refers to Svalbard as it refers to other nations, even though Svalbard is a possession of Norway. IIRC, it also referred to Novaya Zemlya the same way, even though it is part of Russia. Svalbard is actually north-northeast of Finland, but there's probably just a trick of the projection used in the game.Mikey wrote:Yes, but that's not nearly what we're talking about. The game points out cities and (supposedly) nations north of Russia and east of Finland. That's what I meant when I said "north of Russia and east of Finland."Captain Seafort wrote:Huh? There's only one country east of Finland - Russia. If you're talking about the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia), they're a) south of Finland and b) a very long way south of the Arctic circle.
