Why is "Holland" not an acceptable answer for a country in Europe beginning with the letter "H"?
+13
Level 75
Jan 7, 2016
Because the country is called The Netherlands, not Holland.
+1
Level 50
Jan 7, 2016
Holland is not a country
+6
Level 65
Jan 7, 2016
There are about 1,000 angry Dutch guys who are roaming around the internet ready to argue with you! Holland is the inaccurately-called name for the Netherlands.
+1
Level 79
Jun 20, 2020
According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, 'Holland' can be another name for the Netherlands, or a former province of the Netherlands, comprising the coastal parts of the country. It is now divided into North Holland and South Holland. I would say it's a colloquial term, not necessarily accurate.

Bah, I always think of 'Timor-Leste' rather than East Timor. Fool.

Level 56
May 23, 2017
Well, Timor-Leste is the official name, so it's a bad choice for such a quiz...

But it's East Timor in English. The Hungarians call their country Magyarorszag, but that doesn't mean that we have to.
+3
Level 76
Nov 9, 2018
And yet we don't translate Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Ecuador, San Marino, Sierra Leone, etc. Heck, "Timor" isn't English either; it's a variety of the Malay word for "east." Why not just translate it the whole way and call it "East East"?
+1
Level 79

@MarlowePI Interesting, it seems that some foreign places names are tend to be translated in English and some others are not.

Same here, but that doesn't make you a fool. That's the only one I missed. Was about to write East Timor when time ran out. It's name in English always gets me.

Level 53
Jan 21, 2016
It's been independent for years now.
+1
Level 28
Jan 18, 2021
To be independent new country needs to have more than 66.66% or 2/3 of UN countries recognizing it. Kosovo is recognized by 98 countries or 51% so....
+1
Level 76
Jan 2, 2022
I'm sure the State of Palestine, with 72% of UN member states recognizing it, will be glad to hear the news that they are now fully independent.
+1
Level 54
Feb 20, 2022
This is an American website, so I assume they arent using Palestine bc the US doesnt recognise it. The Usa recognises kosovo though
+1
Level 51
Mar 22, 2024
They follow the de facto situation. Kosovo controls its territory. Palestine does not

And Germans call Germany Deutschland, so...
+4
Level 76
Nov 9, 2018
But Germany hasn't requested that other countries also call them "Deutschland." Why is it such a big deal to call the country what it has asked to be called? We don't insist on calling Costa Rica "Rich Coast," do we?
+1
Level 79

I'm sure most people who live at or near the Río de la Plata would want other countries to call the area 'Río de la Plata', but English speakers tend to use the term 'River Plate'.

+2
Level 79
Jun 20, 2020
Georgia is a actually transcontinental country, located partially in Eastern Europe and partially in Southwest Asia, but I believe most of its population and surface area is located in Asia, so I would call it an Asian country.

please review the classification of central america, like jamaica and panama in north america. Traditionally north america only includes canada, mexico and US.

Level 78
Nov 9, 2018
Traditionally, it is part of North America. The Americas have two continents, north and south. The region Central America fits into North America. Kind of like how Western Europe is part of the continent of Europe

Not an accurate test of knowledge but of typing accuracy and speed. Had to memorize the countries by redoing the test until I could type fast enough. I figured out all the countries easily. Just could not read the line then type it fast enough.

Like the many many other people in tjis comment section I agree it definitely needs more time. 30sec might do it allready.

East Timor seems a poor choice for a quiz such as this. I think most of us geography nerds use the official name Timor Leste.

This may be true, but the general practice on Jetpunk is to use country names as they appear on the "Countries of the World" quiz, which lists the country as East Timor.
