18 Nova Scotia (great place)

BOTH INCORRECT RAB

[redandblack]

In that case, 18 should be New Brunswick.

Magpie, I love the geography quizzes, but I have a bit of trouble with Q13. I've just been to Canada and I think Nunavut is a huge territory that doesn't have any borders with any US state, but Alaska would have to be the closest.

Unless the Nunavut you're talking about is different to the Canadian Nunavut.
