Nicaragua isn't a city

"Nicaragua está en el puesto número seis en la lista de ciudades seguras..." 

This has me confused because Nicaragua is not a city.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding the sentence?

Thanksgiving Day sentence: we were very happy.Hola, Re: we were very happy. Kwizbot nos pusimos muy felices. You nos pusimos muy feliz. When I answered this, I wondered if I should put “felices” or “feliz”. I opted for “feliz” because I felt it was the “state” of being happy, and therefore would be invariable. Is this a possibility? And if so how to tell the difference? Thank you so much, Nicole

This usage is also common in colloquial English.

Examples: "What you did was well out of order" (very wrong).  "My dog's well hard" (very tough). "I'm well chuffed" (very pleased). "He was well choked" (very disappointed).

Answer should have indirect object pronoun

"Why did you tell Luisa......" seems to me to need the indefinite object pronoun as in "¿Por qué le habéis dicho a Luisa...." but this answer is marked as incorrect. Why? Isn't it actually the correct way to say this part of the sentence even though I haven't gotten to a lesson about these pronouns?

Hacia en otros contextos

¿En español se puede usar hacia en el contexto de la actitud de alguien o algo? Por ejemplo en ingles se puede decir "I don't like your attitude towards me" o "We will work towards that". 


¿Se puede decir algo como "no me gusta su actitud hacia yo"?


Saludos

Matt
