Nevermind, it seems I was wrong anyway. The Caucasus Mountains extend into southern Russia, meaning that although parts of northern, inland Georgia can be classified as European the entire coastline is definitely Asian.
Excellent! One small suggestion: give borders alternating colours so you can see the different countries forming the coastline. Or actually even better would be if eg France's coastlines have the same colour etc
Cheers! I do quite like that idea, although I cannot implement it now, as the borders are coloured in altogether, based on whether or not the answer is correct (rather than individually through their ID).
I see. if I remember correctly I managed to get around this problem this way: have the 'coloured borders' always visible but covered by 'white borders' which correspond to answers and become invisible when guessed - see this quiz
Thanks to the Curonian and Vistula spits, the coastline goes Lithuania / Russia / Lithuania / Russia / Poland / Russia / Poland (although this requires passing through two lagoons).
Crimea is part of Ukraine not Russia. Russia is illegally occupying it. A significant majority of the world's countries have made it clear that they recognise that Crimea is a part of Ukraine.
Russia currently has control over the Crimean peninsula (as well as de facto control over parts of Eastern Ukraine). I am still not sure where Jetpunk gets their maps from, but the source seems to value depicting actual control over specific regions, rather than honouring sentiments (this goes for the Crimean situation as well as the border dispute in Kashmir, among other minor disputes). I agree with this, to the point in which I have drawn dotted lines to represent other territories such as Abkhazia or North Cyprus which are outside of the authority of the countries which the international community agrees as controlling said territory.
That being said, if you wish you can simply type 'Ukraine' three times to complete its coastline on the Black Sea. You are never forced to type 'Russia' in order to complete Crimea.
Hey Jiaozira, probably shouldn't ask it here, but is it possible if I could make a series of quizzes similar to the above? I would love to make more map quizzes of such :D
