Okay, I'll start on a medium and I'll put the answers hidden on another place so you don't accidentally see them if you don't want to.

I don't think this would work in a contest because people would look it up and I don't want people to look it up. Plus I just came up with these and I'll do the same for the mediums (I'll look up the hards though) so people shouldn't be doing too poorly.

Okay, the answers are on this one, I'll put them somewhere else on the hards...

[{insert name here}]

2. In WWII the Japanese attacked a certin country in where Perl Harbor was. What political system did that country have at the time?

You either worded the question wrong, or your anwser is wrong!

I.E. Pearl Harbor is in the US, and in 1941 the US was not in a Monarchy Government!

As far as I know, Pearl Harbor was in Hawaii correct? Hawaii was it's own country at that time. And it was a monarchy.

However I will fix the misspelling...
