Each of these 20 maps represents a certain administrative unit. It's up to you to name them all! Be specific, some are easy, some are hard. Some I've posted before, some are freshly made. They're all to scale.
I trust everyone can figure out what the numbers mean...;)

Good luck!

@waterloowarrior: All correct! Great idea to hide the answers like that btw!

@nygirl1: For P, maybe if the 3 was a zero...;). Good job on the others though!

@TheMeltyMan: You got some of them correct, but you need to take another look at those numbers...;)

@jman: J is not Tokyo, (P) Berlin is correct though! :tup:



Now it's time to guess all the non North American ones!!!:banana:
