French Southern Territories GTFO :D

French southern territories should be, at best, the Cote d'Azur, although personally I still recognise the state of Sardinia-Piedmont, so realistically we're probably talking Grenoble and Bordeaux.

Type ‘Fre’ into it and you literally get 3 different random Oceania options. Don’t hate the player hate the game bruv

I'm not criticizing you. Just what counts as a country in that game is a bit dubious.

Jersey and Guernsey both count as answers on the game so I'd tend to agree

You don't need data to know that the fucking Pitcairn Islands with it's 40 odd people have fuck all GDP (although it is per capita so they might have some rich cunts).

My wrong answers were Norfolk Island who have a GDP per capita of $65k and DRC for the bottom left as I thought it was Africa/French not Niger/French.

Had an answer flat out give me, "Sorry, we don't know their GDP." on me. If you don't know, it's $0 per head. :D

Frig it. 403.8. 3 complete blank spots.

It's bullshit that you can use countries that aren't countries, though.

Feels cheap bagging low scores with Reunion and New Caledonia. Also Zimbabwe was a surprisingly low score.

Pitcairn?

I went for the recently tariffed penguin island but that had no GDP record, who knew?

$10k GDP is very high, it's about the world average I think.

Alcohol consumption. Ouch

Only one I got in that category was the blindingly obvious one, to be sure. Looks like some seriously dodgy data, tbh. Also, how come on that one there isn't a no data available free pass? I got at least two wrong on there [you'll never guess] and there is no data for either on their reference list. Lame.

This grid looks fucking mean.
