NATO Countries Quiz

It's still in the NATO

it's NATO not "the" NATO

What's still in the NATO?

It

Which country specifically is someone? referring to?

I don't know. There may have been an older comment that got purged. But for now I'm going to assume there is a carnivorous clown somewhere in the sewers of NATO. Better safe than sorry.

Just missed Bulgaria and Romania

21/28...a lot of the ones I missed I thought about but then second guessed myself

omg, i got them all.

24/28 I'm happy with that

I'm happy with 25/28

If this is the case, then NATO should be renamed "North Atlantic and most of the Mediterranean minus Ireland Treaty Organisation"

The Mediterranean is technically part of the North-Atlantic

28/28

missed holland...

You mean Netherlands or the 33K town in Michigan? (Rhetorical)

Yay! someone has heard of my hometown. you probably googled it though.

My girlfriend went to college in Holland, Michigan at Hope. I have learned an awful lot about Dutch Americans in the past two years.

First quiz I've got 100% in in a while, thanks :P

So stupid of me to forget Canada and the United States!

20 /28

Damn, I missed Luxembourg.

Well we all know Slovenians are a bloodthirsty bunch.

@TheRealMikeJones Do you not get sarcasm or are you being sarcastic yourself?

Consider that the defense provided by NATO just might have something to do with the peace afforded those who are not members??

but then it's harder to be so self righteous.

you've never got drunk in an Irish Pub!

This requires a very simplistic reading of "peaceful." I am not exactly a huge fan of the US's interventionist policies, but countries like the US, UK, and France ultimately do more good than harm by trying to contain violence and genocide. You can be "peaceful" in the sense that you totally mind your own business and never engage with anyone...but that leaves the true despots and tyrants of the world free to slaughter innocents within their orbit. And yes, I know the US, UK, and France have killed civilians with their overseas campaigns, but on balance, I'm not sure it's fair to say that the Swiss brand of peace is better than the British brand of it. Better for the Swiss, sure, but what about people living under tyrants? The issue is very complicated.

it is considered to be in europe and the middle east

us and canada were both western ally members during the secongd world war and it says north atlantic and they link the atlantic so they are part of it

Got Albania but not italy or belgium

I got all, I almost forgot France, Sorry France, love you!

It’s ok, they left NATO for a long time anyway.

Until Andorra joins your ranks, though, you'll be in danger.

Only San Marino can save us now...

It is actually a little surprising (to me anyway) that Malta isn't on the list, especially considering how strategically important it was during WWII anyway. It also surprises me that Finland isn't on the list, considering it's historic strife against Russia. You would think that being directly on the Soviet Union's doorstep, and after the Winter War, the Finns would have been quick to jump on the NATO bandwagon!

Malta has been constitutionally neutral ever since its independence

We're in the endgame now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, and I'll continue to say it - Czechia needs to be accepted for Czech Republic, since as you can see from this article- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_the_Czech_Republic#Adoption_of_Czechia- Czechia (as I shall stubbornly refer to it as) AND the UN, no less, have recognised it as the official short name. Yet Jetpunk, worthy and authoritative website though I do believe it to be, continues to reject it. This is not Myanmar-Burma; there is negligible contention in the matter, with a legitimate government introducing it, and the wider international community accepting it. Yet Jetpunk continues to reject it. I do not know whether this is by conscious decision or simply not noticing the issue, but I humbly ask that you rectify it. (I accept that I could be wrong on certain points, and would appreciate being enlightened as to any opposition to my view).

Thank you!!!

Czechia was accepted for me. I must be special. :)

Czechia is usually accepted in JetPunk

Serbia not being in surprised me, then again they never seem to be in the organizations.

The Serbians are very pro-Russian. I don't think we'll ever see them showing any interest in joining.

Serbia was bombed by NATO in 1999. They don't have very fond memories of it.

How long before Russia takes Serbia 'into the fold'?

I don't have very fond memories of Serbia.

Almost forgot Iceland

100/100 this beats 100% of test users

Montenegro is gonna be on this list soon.

Montenegro joined NATO this year.

Technically, it won't be complete til June 5, 2017. But after that, yes, this quiz will need to be updated.

Look at when I read your comment. What a coincidence!

I don't see Montenegro on this official list http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/nato_countries.htm

Montenegro's government approved its joining of NATO on 29 April, 2017. The process of joining ended today (5 June). Your source is now out of date.

The quiz should really be called "how many countries in Europe can you name".

I can't believe I only missed Canada... I'm a little embarassed

OMG I missed Greece :(

I blanked with Montenegro. I didn't know they joined in 2017.

Interesting, finland and sweden are part of the EU but not norway, but norway is part of NATO and not sweden and finland

I saved the Balkans countries for last that way I could just look at which ones were missing alphabetically before guessing them.

Nearly forgot Iceland; it doesn't even have an army xD I don't get why it's in NATO, what country would want to attack it? A hungry Canada? Russia?

When the USSR placed missiles on the United States' doorstep it almost lead to World War 3. Makes sense that Russia becomes nervous if they are surrounded by NATO members and bases (especially given the fact that there were probably promises not to expand NATO eastwards in 1990). This situation shouldn't make us Westerners thump our chests; we should be cautious.

Well it was nice while it lasted.

To help defend against Russian aggression and expansionism. Visit the House of Terror in Budapest.

Mmm... natto.

How I could forget Italy !!!
