Watch out: The smallest union has two answers: Khandokar's list says Hajipur (Bhola), but a BCS question in the same book is answered Saint Martin. This could not be confirmed on the web, so it is left out of the list and the quiz. The longest rail bridge and highest building are as of the printing; new bridges and buildings can change them, so they are not in the quiz.
