What could these letters stand for in the world of politics?

Proving very difficult!

Could be initials of 10 countries or states?

Could be initals of political leaders?

sophocles - cheating again? How many of the GBQ questions do you actually answer on your own?

None, I have never entered the quiz myself. I do it to help my elderly grandparents if that is Okay.

So there is no reason why they cannot abide by the rules as well - is there?

The quiz is for Great Brains. There is an easier one called Great Fun Quiz. But sophocles would be familiar with that one too.

From an earlier post : "I am doing the Great Brain Quiz 203 "

No mention of elderly grandparents is there?

No, he's never mentioned his grandparents in any of his previous posts - but we're not really surprised are we?

ooh, look at all the internet monitors...

In this instance, it's a case of pointing out to people the rules of this particular quiz. The quizsetter has specifically asked on numerous occasions that his quizzes are not ruined by questions being asked on Q&A sites. It is obvious that many choose to ignore his wishes. Unfortunately, that has contributed to this particular quiz closing in the next 2 months (it's a monthly quiz that's been going for over 200 editions). So, not "internet monitors" at all, I'd just like those who know the rules to abide by them.

how about "futility exercisers"?
you guys simply can't stop people from trying to solve your puzzles in this manner...

A quizsetter has the right to ask that his questions are not asked on Q&A sites. I fail to understand the satisfaction some people get from getting someone else to give them the answers? What's wrong with a guess or a blank space if you can't work it out yourself? If you choose to enter that quiz, you should abide by the rules.

Takes one to know one doesn't it?

Sophocles - congratulations, you've made the GBQ newsletter. Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons. GBQ204 has just been published and GBQ205 will be the final quiz thanks to yours and others cheating, so please make an effort and don't spoil the last two quizzes like you have spoilt many of the previous ones.

surely sophocles didn't single-handedly bring down your great quiz...
so how many other people on the internet are you harassing in this manner?

Try reading my previous posts - the quizsetter has specified that contestants must not ask for answers to his quizzes on Q&A sites - surely the concept is not that difficult? So, it's not harassment, merely stating facts.

I agree Sophocles was not alone, but he/she has been ruining this quiz for a considerable time - all the time knowing the rules, yet ignoring them.

you and your cohorts newbyquizzer, marigold123, djmple & puzzlesRus have been repeatedly harassing sophocles since march of 2009.

marigold has had some particularly interesting things to say --

not harassment?

They are not my cohorts as you put it - I believe they are entitled to their opinion just as much as you and I are. I repeat, my opinions are not harassment - but merely re-stating the rules of this particular quiz (perhaps if you actually read my posts, you will see that). However, one fact you have pointed out is that sopocles has been ruining this quiz for more than 2 years. As I said above, he's not the only one, but all those who have ignored the quiz rules have finally succeeded in bringing this quiz to a close. If you are so against marigold123's comments, why didn't you chastise her then?

I'm sure the deadline has long passed so if anyone is wondering, the answer is M. Look at lists of political leaders in major countries and you will probably find it.
