You'd think I missed some obscure country nobody cares about like Tuvalu, São Tomé and Príncipe, Djibuti, or Burundi; but no, I managed to forget Costa Rica. A friend of mine even went there on vacation a few months ago lol.

I believe this is untrue. The United States lacks diplomatic relations with North Korea, Bhutan, Syria and Iran which are all included. Additionally, the United States recognizes the Cook Islands and Niue, which are absent.

How did an error like this go unnoticed for over a decade? Congratulations, you’re the first to notice this - you should get a medal.

In all seriousness, you’re not the first to comment your opinion on this quiz, and you won’t be the last. Some people (including the creator of this quiz, who is also the owner of the site) believe Taiwan to be an independent country, so it will most likely stay that way. And anyways, in the end JetPunk is just a small quizzing website where geography nerds spend their online hours, so it’s not like the answers on this quiz will spark a war between China and Taiwan or anything.

Not sure how long it's been like this, but why is Crimea listed as part of Russia? It's part of Ukraine.

Russia annexed it illegally - doesn't mean the rest of us need to accept it. According to the US govt: Crimea is part of Ukraine. Some of the countries recognising its annexation include Afghanistan and North Korea.

I get that Russia has control over it but it feels like a slap in the face to Ukraine to say that it is just part of Russia the same as Moscow or St Petersburg.

If Russia has control over it - even if it was annexed illegally - it’s part of Russia. Going by your logic, we should recognize Czechoslovakia on the world map because it would be just so unfair and rude to leave them out.

I think a good strategy for order is starting with Canada, filling out the Americas southwards until you reach the bottom of South America. Once all of the American countries are done, you type France and get French Guiana, completing the Americas and then you just continue with Europe and finish the rest in an border based order.
