Oh come on, you must have tried sake?

Yup, a long, long time ago. I don't even remember its taste.

I take it the Argentinian government had no interest in a Japanese treaty like Brazil's?

Are you trying to ruin my evening mentioning Argentinian governments?  :D

About the last one... It looks like Vannes, France?

I wish all your evenings to be happy and healthy.

You're right about the city but I am going to watch Grimm right now so I'll either score later or in the morning.

^ Corrected my typo - I was very tired and weary last night.

Thanks for the score update again XT; I owe you a bottle of vino or 2.

That place looked very Caribbeanesc but that coat of arms does not exist as far as I know (or that I could find).  The Pacific route did yield Nauru but I'm not sure how the city system works there.  Is it Yaren?

I think it is so small (pop = 9,322) Nauru would suffice.

I don't know either but it's definitely Nauru.

"Income from the mining of phosphate gave Nauruans one of the highest living standards in the Pacific and the world."

Apparently that's not the case anymore.

I think so too so I'll just put "Nauru" on the list.

Country or capital will do, as the population is virtually the same.

Geez, I can't believe how I found this! I was searching in Greenland and I got sidetracked by something and then voilà! Remember the TV show Connections? Just like that.

I often found answers to this game a long time after I'd given up looking, by investigating something interesting I fell across and finding a reference to the original place in question.  Or by clicking on a couple hundred pages of images until something popped up (I call the latter my 'brute force' method).

When I said country I really should have said "archipelago or capital" as it is part of a much bigger country's sovereignty, although this place's history is quite separate.
