So you think the Netherlands isn't a country either? Sint Maarten, together with the country the Netherlands are 2 of the 4 countries that make up the Kingdom of The Netherlands.(Since 2010, before that it was part of the constituent country Netherlands Antilles)
Saint Martin is indeed not a country but overseas collectivity with EU status, since it is considered part of France proper.
people need to think for themselves instead of blindly copying a quizsite, which has set parameters. It is like on a quiz name all capitals, with a caveat that asian capitals are excluded. Just because asian capitals are not accepted on the quiz does not suddenly not make them capitals anymore.
Oops the last part didnt mean to be small, only notice it now, but time to edit has just expired (got caught up in other things before returning to my comment.. usually immediately check after hitting submit.
St John shouldn't be an acceptable answer for the capital of NFLD. St John's is the capital of NFLD and St John is a city in New Brunswick. Two different places.
I agree, there's a lot of confusion between the 2.
Also, Johns isn't acceptable without St or Saint before it, even though St John is. The only one on the quiz that requires St to be typed. It might discourage people who think they're wrong.
I was gonna say exactly the same thing. All the other answers allowed just the other words (ie, the Saint(s) to St or St. part wasn't required). I was beginning to question myself, as o knew it was St John's. Time ran out and I didn't get the point. I also didn't get St Jude, but that's my own fault.
