I absolutely love the contrast between how smug and confident Cirno is about this spell card, and Seija just staying in one specific spot like it's just another Icicle Fall -Easy- for her
my first guesses were around ~150 range, so i already had a great start towards memorizing them all. the map itself is controversial to political reasons but i won't bring it up here, it's a /pol/ mess. i start with europe which is of course the easiest region for me, just keep in mind that kosovo is there too. pro tip: use the shorthands "uk", "holland" and "fyrom" next i move to the caucasus and the middle east, the most kino region of the planet. shorthand: "uae" then i proceed to fill africa, starting from the north. west africa used to be the bane of my existence, there are so many countries with fake unrecognisable names, like who tf names his country "burkina faso" or "ivory coast". at least from there central africa and the horn are easy. south africa has a lot of countries but unlike west africa they all have funny recognizable names. shorthands: "congo" (fills both the Republic of Congo and the DRC), "car" after i'm done, i do central asia (very easy because i know ussr history), east asia and sea. i used to think the philippines were american territory until just recently lol. it's also kinda easy to miss singapore (can't see that dude on the map), brunei and east timor (literally who countries). shorthands: "prc", "dprk", "rok", "roc", "ceylon" overall asia was easy but then oceania kicks in. absolutely filled with literally whos you've never heard of, you gotta just memorise them. shorthands: "nz", "png", "fsm". north america seems easy until you're hit with central america and the caribbean. while the former is relatively fine, the south caribbean sucks. literaly micropipis countries which could just be part of the UK anyways, so it's another region where i just had to memorise (goddamn you irem shmups....) shorthands: "usa", "dr" south america is the second easiest region because every country is absolutely massive and there's only a few of them. still, i kinda struggled with suriname and guyana. no shorthands. overall fun challenge might do it again when im a faster typer. shmups suck
Try things out and memorise what works, as exact as you can, so you don't get screwed by all the RNG. Write your strats down too, check my route playlists to see what I mean
