The Mnemosyne Project

Counties of Romania. One-sided cards for now (name -> location). Hopefully I'll have time to do the other side (location -> name) some time in the future. The cards use the "answerbox:overlay" feature.

Judete ale Romaniei. Cartile au o singura fata (nume -> locatie). Sper sa pot face si cealalta fata (locatie -> nume) candva. Cartile folosesc abilitatea "answerbox:overlay".

Although the otherwise excellent "Americas" deck includes Central America, I found the Central American countries too small to discern easily. This deck is probably best imported into that larger Americas deck, or some other sizable geography deck.

Quizzes the eight provinces, three special administrative regions, and one directly-governed city of North Korea.

I have tested this with Mnemosyne version 1.1.1 and it worked just fine; however, if you encounter any problems, don't hesitate to e-mail me. My contact information may be found in the readme file of the archive.

This set of cards contains most of the capital cities of europe.
Names in english, german and spanish.

Changes:
2009/02/11
- Reduced size of zip-archive
- Put maps in a subfolder 'european_capitals'
- Changed the category name to 'European Capitals'
- Added missing capital cities
2009/04/16
- Reduced size of zip-archive - thanks to Tim Bourke for reducing the image's size
- Removed the .svn subdirectory - again thanks to Tim Bourke for pointing that out
2009/07/27
- Added a second zip-archive with gwern's version of the set. It uses the
overlay feature and the images are in a directory called 'maps' instead of 'images'.
For most users this version should be more convenient.

This is a collection of all the countries recognized by the UN as being located in Asia (plus Papua New Guinea), made properly with none of that "This red bit and the bits south of it" or "What's this strange little island in the Arctic Sea you can't even see on the map?" garbage.

To use, unzip the file into your .mnemosyne directory, and import the .mnemosyne/Asia.xml into your installation.

On Jan 2, 2009 I fixed 3 things that was noticed by "sempteen":
- Hongkong -> is now Hong Kong
- Palestina -> is now Palestine (the last letter is "e")
- Turkmenistan map is now correct, it used to show the same land as Uzbekistan.

These cards are similar to WheresWiliam's cards, which I only noticed after creating my own. His cards don't contain Chinese characters, pinyin and capitals, but the maps he uses are better, so I'm considering replacing my maps with his in the future.

New in 2.0: Added Hong Kong and Macau, removed English names that are toneless pinyin from cards,
added optional large maps that are used in WheresWiliam's cards.
