Not a good result for a European but my excuse is that I live in the far side of the Western portion so never took much interest in those new fangled East European statelets.   Did better in the Middle-East test probably cause its in the news so much.

Not bad for an old bird who doesn't care for the news and hasn't been in school since Nixon was president.

Got them all, I had a little trouble remembering between Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan. But then I remembered that there are Tajiks in Afghanistan, so I got them figured out.

I got all the Stans wrong the first time but I know em all quite well now.  Palistine almost threw me but I figured it out the first time through

Northern and southern Europe I could
do and countries like Latvia and Estonia.
But a the old Soviet bloc countries were
harder much harder. I kept wanting to put
Belarus closer to Greece for some reason.
No Luxembourg and Lichtenstein.
Ashamed I didn't do better. Will work on it.

Another easy 100% although I admit that I'd be in trouble if I actually had to spell some of those names.
