Aug 12, 2015

Two things --> First I feel it's confusing that you have included Egypt here ... because isn't Egypt most accurately one of Africa's 54 countries? So you have Egypt showing up on maps twice ... and also you have Palestinian Territories here - which is actually NOT a country of it's own ... and if you were going to include lots of accurate dependencies or overseas territories, then why have you not included Puerto Rico? Galapagos Islands? Easter Island? Greenland? Faroe Islands? etc.

On some of your complete world map or world capitals Quizzes, there seems to be an agreement of 196 countries on the planet today. But then it seems like the individual maps should support these numbers. and having Egypt show up twice and including Palestine throw the total numbers off. Maybe you could have a different color/title for any lands that are included but that are not actual countries of the world (like French Guiana, etc.)....? thanks

This only includes Palestine because they have to include something in that area, and whatever they put would cause a riot in the comments, which it did. Also the Middle East is a region, like Scandinavia or The Balkans, except it is better know and has is a bit less defined. Some people include Iran or the Caucasus, even Sudan, Eritrea and Djibouti have made it in there sometimes.

Jul 23, 2016

Everyone is arguing that the terrorist run Palestinian Territories are a country when it isn't, whereas poor old Islamic State doesn't even get a mention. They've got their own flag, government, army, tax-raising powers and a multi-billion dollar oil business that they run entirely on their own. Surely if one bunch of bandits get a mention because they are autonomous then others should too.

+22

Level 83

Aug 6, 2016

This is a fair point. Islamic State has a much better claim to sovereignty than Palestine. But nobody has recognized them because they are hated by literally everyone. State recognition often has more to do with popularity, sympathy, and (of course) politics than actual real sovereignty.

However, that said, Palestine has a (disputed, fragmented) government, they have a flag, they collect some tax revenue and exercise some civic authority, to varying degrees in different unconnected places. What Daesh most notably has that "Palestine" lacks is control over their own borders and territory, and a stable and centralized undisputed government.

WOW is so many things to so many people. Turned upside down it is MOM. Turned on one side it is 3O3, and on the other side it is EOE. What other word is so versatile, so heartwarming, yet so simple?

Egypt is in Africa, not the Middle East. This may need to be changed

+10

Level 50

Oct 18, 2017

I repeat (from above): there is nothing to prevent a country from the continent of Africa from being part of a region known as 'The Middle East'. It would be similar to saying "that country is part of Africa, not the equator'.

+2

Level 37

Nov 5, 2017

If this is a geography quiz, then Egypt is in Africa. If it is a political quiz, then it's in the Middle East. Next!

Or, it's just a trivia quiz, and you should be able to recognize Egypt either way.

Egypt is not considered part of Asia. It is considered part of the 54 countries of Africa. This quiz was talking about the middle east. Some countries in the middle east are part of Asia. Not Egypt though.

For the love of god - I click on several things at once, so they open in other tabs, and then I come back to the others. STOP MAKING THE TIME START AUTOMATICALLY! All quizzes should not have the timer start until I click on something to start the quiz. I hate going back to a page and seeing that my score is zero, because you decided to make a quiz start by itself. How hard is it to be consistent on all of your quizzes?

It’s got a long history of being tied with Europe; doesn’t mean it’s part of it

^ up for debate. But even if it wasn't, not a relevant comment. The Middle East is not a continent. The countries we conceive of as being part of it are there because of their geography as well as their cultural, historical, geopolitical and other ties.

Level 72

Jun 5, 2020

The ME is a region, not a continent. It may include countries from different continents, just like Latin America includes countries from both Americas and excludes others. The region is defined by political and ethno-religious historical ties. MENA is another example, which adds the rest of North Africa to the Middle East.

+2

Level 59

Feb 23, 2020

I'm just gonna say, not trying to cause arguments or anything but most world maps have the centre like the world countries quiz on here so from that perspective it is in the middle of the map but on the eastern side of the map so from that view it is the Middle East.

Level 56

Jul 5, 2020

jeez, everyone's getting so angry about the inclusion of palestine! but first of all, there is nothing in this quiz that SAYS palestine is a country (it literally says palestinian TERRITORIES), and also, just because it doesnt have official status as a country doesn't mean that it's not middle eastern. like, french guiana isn't a country, but it's still on the south american map quiz, right? because it's part of south america!! anyways rant over, y'all need to calm down. -_-

Have you read through the comments? As of now Palestine holds that area. QM isn't saying its a country, he calls it Palestinian Territories, but for crying out loud, this is a MAP quiz. He can include whatever he wants as long as he can back it up.

No on inclusion of Palestine which is Israel. Israel has included Palestine as part of the country which was promised in these last days.
