Why some geographical entities grant +450 points and 2,800m descent while others deliver only minimal baseline points.
The Oceanic Island Capital Strategy
Most trivia players default to Western European or East Asian capitals (London, Paris, Tokyo, Berlin). In Krillion, these fall into the Plankton Tier (0–2,000m).
By contrast, sovereign capitals in Oceania and small island developing states—such as Ngerulmud (Palau), Funafuti (Tuvalu), Yaren (Nauru), South Tarawa (Kiribati), and Port Vila (Vanuatu)—are recognized as ultra-rare Hadal responses, generating instant maximum multipliers.
The Doubly-Landlocked Rule
While there are 44 landlocked sovereign countries, only two in the entire world are doubly landlocked—meaning all of their neighboring countries are also landlocked:
- Liechtenstein: Surrounded by Switzerland and Austria.
- Uzbekistan: Surrounded by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan.
Submitting either in a landlocked prompt awards top-tier Hadal status.
Bathymetric Specificity & Deeps
When prompted for oceanic trenches, standard entries like “Mariana Trench” or “Puerto Rico Trench” score within Plankton or Reef tiers.
Specifying the exact sub-depression or bathymetric deep—such as Sirena Deep (Mariana), Milwaukee Deep (Puerto Rico), Molloy Deep (Fram Strait, Arctic), or Diamantina Deep (Indian Ocean)—yields Hadal classification.
Administrative vs. Legislative Capitals
Many countries have multiple or recently designated administrative capitals that average players frequently miss:
- Sri Lanka: Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte (instead of Colombo)
- Myanmar: Naypyidaw (instead of Yangon)
- Ivory Coast: Yamoussoukro (instead of Abidjan)
- Bolivia: Sucre (constitutional) & La Paz (executive)
- South Africa: Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Cape Town
