This is probably the toughest of the continents so far to get all of them. Took me 4 tries to figure out a good system. Probably 5 seconds more would make it immeasurably easier.
Agree. It's tough because there's quite a few long ones that are you are required to type such as Philippines. There's also no easy way to get South Korea or Turkmenistan.
Pakistan does not border Tajikistan, it is a common misconception. They are separated by the Wakhan corridor of Afghanistan by 16 kilometers (9.9 miles) Otherwise, a very great quiz. Keep up the good work!
China, India, South Korea, Japan, Laos, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Cyprus, Bahrain, Maldives, Taiwan, Israel. I spelt Philippines wrong every time, but the incorrect spelling was accepted.
This took me like ten tries, wow. Kazakhstan, India, China, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Indonesia seemed to be crucial to my efforts to do it quickly but I'm sure someone had a better way.
Okay, I'm quite a bit late but here's the Taiwanese lowdown. Taiwan (which was then called China, at least by many Europeans) used to be where China is now. Then China up and happened via a lot of historical events everybody kind of remembers and ran Taiwan out of the place and onto their island. China proceeded to claim that not only had they not taken over the mainland from suddenly-Taiwan, Taiwan didn't exist at all. At first it was kind of funny. Then China became a world superpower and, well, nobody wants to make them angry. Nowadays, then, most countries don't formally recognise Taiwan to avoid getting on China's bad side, but otherwise they act in every way like Taiwan's a real country. (The alternative would be to consider Taiwan part of China, which simply doesn't bear out if you go to the place.)
ROK=South Korea
