Geography Bee
There are two divisions of the geography bee. There is a written phase with 25 questions for which contestants get 25 minutes and an oral phase where contestants get 5 questions. At Nationals, there are 30 questions written and 3 oral questions. The top 10 cumulative scores are added to the Final Round. The Geography Bee at North South Foundation is substantially harder than the National Geographic Bee. The main reason is the fact that there is a lack of hints in the questions. Winning this bee has a lot of prestige to it, though Geography is one of the least talked about subject at NSF. See Below:

Honey-heavy on my hand,
From his toppling tansy-throne
In the green tempestuous land—”
