Shouldn't it be "Empires with countries named after them" instead of the other way around?

That would make sense in some cases. But, some countries Preceded the Empires. So, I am changing it to "Empires that share names with Modern Day Countries."

I don't think Caucasus should be considered Central Asia. Despite that it was a really fun quiz!

I would argue that the Omani Empire should be included, as it effectively shares a name with present day Oman.

Isn't Japan technically still an Empire, so should they at least receive an asterics?

I'm a bit confused about the asterisks? Like, can you explain what you mean by a "technical" empire? If you're referring to empires that still technically exist, I really don't see why Haiti or Poland or Oman would be on here. From what I know, those countries are not particularly large or powerful or diverse. On the other hand, France still owns many overseas possessions (including French Polynesia which is very big), so I'd say it's still an empire. Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of the asterisks? I'd just appreciate a bit more explanation.

Haiti, Poland, and Oman used to have empires. Muscati empires, Poland Lithuanian derivatives, and the Haitian empire existed. Asterisks for Oman and Poland were name related while in Haiti it was very short lived and disputed about it's rule. This is a historical quiz and not a current one as well, France is also on here.

American Empire? America was an empire (and in some ways still is), though that name was never used.

It's prevalence in the historical debate is serious enough for me to consider it, and as you suggested it's behavior is very Empire like, I have no doubt that there will be large periods of US history referred to as "Imperial" in a few decades.

You should make it as so the ians and the word empire at the end of the name isn't required. I can help if needed haha
