You're forgetting about the Faroe Islands (They're in Europe)
Quizmaster replies:
They are a possession of Denmark, not a sovereign country.

vojvodina technically broke off of serbia (the northern part)
Quizmaster replies:
It's an autonomous province, but not a sovereign nation,

What about all those other Caribbean nations too (Anguilla, St. Martin, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Aruba, Curacao, and Bonaire)?

Also, there are many other South Pacific island nations: Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, Tokelau, New Caledonia, Norfolk Islands, Howland and Baker Islands, Marianas Islands, Wake Island, Pitcairn Island, Niue, Jarvis, Palmyra Atoll, Midway Island, etc.

Anyway, I love this quiz. Thanks for making it! Just a suggestion for another one: maybe countries on a world map could be highlighted one at a time, and we would have to identify it by typing in the name. Could be challenging. Thanks for the great quizzes!
Quizmaster replies:
Thanks for the idea! I'll keep it in mind.

@jopo009 None of the places you listed are actual countries, they are dependencies of other countries. Some of them, i.e. Midway Island, are not even populated.

Trek222, you're right, most are territories of other countries. I was just suggesting they be added to increase the comprehensiveness of the quiz and make it more challenging. I like trying to remember all of the countries and territories, as well as many provinces and states (Canada, U.S., Australia, etc.).

what's the official definition of a sovereign nation? are these countries with a UN seat?

This is great. I really like how you can look below to see what continent has missing countries and even get a hint on the letter it starts with since they are in alphabetical order. This helps with the very tiny countries!! Very fun! Could you design another quiz that lists all the capitals of the nations and people have to fill in the country?

I love this quiz! Before I found it I didn't even know some of these countries even existed, and now I can name them all. I'd love a quiz for world capitals. Or how about a quiz that lists various non-sovereign regions and we have to say which country possesses them?

You should make the spelling variations easier for some i.e. Kazakhstan. I swear i typed is 4 different ways and still didn't get it. Also, I think New Guinea should be accepted. That made me mad when I didn't get it.
Quizmaster replies:
Okay. I made both those easier.

Good quiz but time limit could do with being adjusted. I can name all the countries but because of the inevitable need to correct typos can't get more than 190 correct - even when entering answers extremely fast. It would also help to be able to see the list showing missing countries without having to scroll down.
