DISTRACTOR_SCORESconstant

What makes one place on a map a convincing wrong answer for another.

Somewhere on the far side of the map is never tempting, so the choices are drawn from the target's own corner of it: land neighbours first, then its group (the continent, or the larger part of the country), then whatever is nearest. It also keeps a "find it" board legible, since the choices are places on one map and clustered ones stay readable. The rule is the same wherever the map is: Japan's prefectures, Brazil's states, the countries of the world.
