I see what you mean Foxy. I think the adm. put The United States somewhere in the twilight zone.

In my defense, since I chose to put the United States Quizzes under the "Geography and Places" quiz category, I was under the impression that the USA was still a place. Since all the questions are about the USA and the USA is a place, there seems no better 'place' to put it... call me old fashioned if you like.
