You are a satellite

You're constantly staring at Earth from this angle. It's terrifying that you are sentient enough to access and complete a quiz like this. We don't know whether to fear to adore you.

You are a very clever crow.

You're used to flying over these places everyday so identifying them is old hat to you. Well done on mastering the English language and figuring out how to use a computer.

You live in a tall house.

And the house is in one of these countries. And you have looked out your window at least once. It's time to whip out an atlas and get studying.

You're Sir Richard Griffith, 1st Baronet

It seems like only yesterday you compiled the very first Ordnance Survey map in 1825. How time flies! Things have changed a lot since then so it's okay that you got a couple wrong.

You got a B3 in Leaving Cert Geography, didn't you?

A couple of the curve-balls threw you, which is a pity since you did so well in the mocks.
