It's not a mistake. It is not recognized by the United Nations, so it is not included. it's as simple as that. It is only recognized by itself and a few other countries. Israel is recognized by the UN, so it is included.

I think you should recognize disputes in this. For example if you type Morocco you should be asked what area is in dispute with it (Western Sahara) Ukraine and Russia what is disputed (Crimea) Georgia and Russia? (South Ossetia & Abkasia) Somalia and ? (Somaliland) etc

Interesting historical tidbit. In the year 192, the Emperor Commodus changed the name of Rome to "Colonia Lucia Annia Commodiana". Unsurprisingly, the name didn't stick.

Cyprus in Asia, really?

stevediverse

Yes, geographically, Cyprus is considered to be in Asia. It is situated well east of the line separating Europe and Asia that runs through Istanbul and through the Aegean off the west coast of (Asian) Turkey. Politically, or perhaps more accurately, economically, it could be argued that Cyprus is European, given it's membership in the EU.

Done this quiz so many times you want to challenge yourself? Try never naming two in a row from the same continent. On top of that each country I name has to border a previous one (islands = adjacent) Every time I do this I have about a minute left.

The best quiz for memory in my opinion. Its a nice exercise in terms of endurance for your head to keep remembering each country. I usually go from continent to continent but when I'm looking for a challenge, I try to guess a country from each continent before going back to the land mass I started with. I recommend if you want to gain time. Another good exercise is the fill in the map quiz, so that you can look at the map above and know which country by sight.

It's not a separate country. It's a piece of land covered in ice and almost no one lives there, and it's considered part of Denmark. If you don't believe me, then answer the question: what is the capital of Greenland? Where is the government headquartered?
