This is the traditional Countries of the World quiz, except that you must guess them in order of when they gained sovereignty! I gave you to (sometimes approximate) date at the bottom. Good luck, you'll need it.
In the case of the same date, alphabetical order is applied.
It is based off of the date of acquisition of sovereignty column in the Sortable List on Wikipedia
I like the concept, but some countries appear out of order on the list. Also some of these dates are debatable. For example, Poland existed as of 966. Lithuania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and several others also had iterations earlier than their modern forms. In fairness, I know it's difficult to discern what counts. :)
The UK did not declare independence in 1707. In fact it did not exist until 1801. The Kingdom of Great Britain was formed in 1707 but was formed from two independent nations.
Also surely Germany only became independent after reunification in 1990?
Also surely Germany only became independent after reunification in 1990?
sort of stopped after that.
I really like the concept but this needs work.
