Actually, yes they are. They AREN'T sovereign states. But, to clear up confusion, I changed the group title to "Sovereign States and Countries that make up the British isles." Sorry about the confusion, I should've been more specific.

Actually, the name British Isles refers to the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, and over 6,000 other islands. Look it up :)

"British Isles" is a controversial name in the Republic of Ireland, and they usually resent having their island considered "British".

I'm surprised that nobody's brought up the fact that the "Scandinavian Countries" which you've mentioned aren't actually Scandinavian. Scandinavia is the region of Europe which consists of only Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The group of five countries to which you are referring are the "Nordic Countries."

The majority of the population in places such as Faroe Islands and Iceland, places not generally called Scandinavian, are descended from places such as Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The Kalmar union (former) included Denmark, Sweden (including Finland) and Norway, including Norway's oversee territories, such as parts of Greenland, Iceland, and some other islands. Though, I am still pondering whether I should change it. It is a good idea, and I was wrong in some ideas, but I do want to see if more people comment about it. Thanks for commenting though.

I always heard that only Denmark, Sweden and Norway are Scandinavian. Finland doesn't really belong there (they have a non-European language, they belonged to Russia) and Iceland is just too far away. Wikipedia also says it's "the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden".

I don't know. Let's just admit I made a lot of mistakes on this quiz...I should just completely redo it.

Being Danish myself, I'm pretty sure that Scandinavia consists only of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Our culture and languange are very similar to each other and the ties between the countries are very strong.

Should Soviet Union not also work for USSR?

Also there were 51 Original UN members, the five mentioned here were only the permanent members of the Security Council when the UN itself was founded.

I wish there were some way of specifying that the China that was an original UN member is not the same government that we now call China. The current "Chinese Government" (i.e. Mainland China) wasn't recognized by the UN until 1973, when the "former China" was turned into being "just Taiwan" and completely unrecognized by the UN. How's that for being a "permanent member"?

This should accept DR for the Dominican Republic, and also I think Grande for Rio Grande, as Rio means river after all.

Apart from that good quiz

Thanks ManchesterCityFan. The fact you say “look it up” as regards Ireland being part of the British Isles is highly telling. Ireland is not part of your made up nonsense. It never was and never will be. Given your love of naming rights over sovereign lands we should reciprocate and hereby call your island of Scotland, Wales and England as …….

The worse version of Faroe Islands Isles.
