Synopsis

The 27 nations of the European Union contain an incredible variety of languages, landscapes, cultures and histories. This book contains 300 questions on the countries of the EU to test the knowledge of even the most committed Europhile. There are 10 questions on each of the EU's member nations, and further rounds on microstates within the EU, countries in the European Economic Area, and the EU itself. "But I don't know the first thing about Slovenia, Latvia or Bulgaria!", you may be thinking.Well, you may surprise yourself. The questions have been written so that a good general knowledge and some educated guesses will see you through. For example:AustriaWhich Austrian actor has won two Best Supporting Actor Oscars for his roles in two Quentin Tarantino films, Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds?LuxrmbourgWhich multinational steel corporation, headquartered in Luxembourg, is the primary sponsor of the Orbit, a huge sculpture outside London’s Queen Elizabeth (formerly Olympic) Stadium designed by Anish Kapoor?BulgariaThe city of Varna is the largest seaside resort in Bulgaria. It lies on the shores of which sea?MaltaWhich non-European language is Maltese related to?(Answers below)There is also an additional interesting fact about each country that I found while researching, but could not make into a question. For example, did you know that Latvia once had a Caribbean empire? Or which country was once ruled by Ivailo the Cabbage? The stories behind these facts are in this book.Praise for my previous quiz books"Excellent work here, really intelligently constructed rounds and a wide range of topics""I have been setting Charity Quiz nights for 15 + years at my local Sports and Social Club and have quite a number of Quiz books and I think this excellent book is the best !""Tremendous quiz book. Each set of questions is interesting and varied — and just tough enough to get you thinking hard!"Answers to sample questions: Christoph Waltz, Arcelor Mittal, Black Sea, Arabic
