There are no incorrect inclusions or exclusions of countries within this quiz. Before you make your comment, please check the Countries of the World Quiz to check how a country is spelt. It's Ivory Coast, not Côte d'Ivoire. It's Federated States of Micronesia, not Micronesia.

I think that if you are going to insist on Micronesia starting with an F (Federated States of Micronesia) then you should also properly use Cote D'Ivoire and Timor L'Este. I spent ages wondering what the I in Africa could be

I do find it amusing that it’s people of Level 70 and above that usually make these complaints. It’s fairly obvious from this that you’ve been a user of this site for a fair amount of time to be at that level, in which case it’s not as though you don’t know by now the conventions that Jetpunk adheres to with regards to country names. I sense, for most people making these comments, they’re just an opportunity for those people to show off how terribly, terribly clever they are.

There's a big error. If you consider Micronesia to be F.S. Micronesia, it should be accepted. But if you consider it as only Micronesia, Marshall Islands shouldn't be there.

Although it has some overseas territories in other continents, it's metropolitan area is in Europe and so is considered European.

Level 72
Apr 15, 2022
Also France has territory in North America and Africa, so if it were in South America, it would also be an answer in those two.

Also the UK has territory in every continent, which would render the other U answers rather silly.

Although now that I mention it, a version taking overseas territories into account could be interesting also...
