It's nonsensical, because Taiwan is not even a UN observer state, while Palestine is and is not recognized by Jetpunk. The recognition seems arbitrary. Even though they may care more about the independence of Taiwan, it should be based on something more objective, and UN recognition seems good for that.
Taiwan is an independent sovereign state, Palestine is not. UN recognition is arbitrary and far from objective, since the rejection of Taiwan is simply due to China not wanting it.
Good quiz but might be made a little better by randomising (or at least mixing up) the order. I don't want to give a spoiler so won't say more, but it could be made a little tougher.
