English is probably the only language, that spells it with "I". Native French, as well as for example Spanish or German use "Y" instead. So I also think it might be accepted.

I think the main confusion here is not due to the French language, but due to the nearby country of Guyana (which is English-speaking).

The territory known as Guyane in French is however known as French Guiana in English. It would however make it easier if French "Guyana" is also accepted for people that are not aware of this.

Amazed at the small amount of comments here. I was expecting a world of angry comments frustrated people and hatefull messages. Quite refreshing (as in other threads, there only has to be one controversial country and there is a 150 messages long argument only about that "country" and only a few messages about the rest of the quiz)

A few more write-ins to add: Burmuda, Fakland, and there were several that I put "island" instead of "islands" that didn't count.

Also, having some sort of hint, like what continent they are associated with (could have "none defined") or who currently controls them (could have "disputed") would be helpful.

Great quiz!

Yes, Cook Islands and Niue both became independent from New Zealand, in 1965 and 1974 respectively, and appear in the Countries 197 to 205 quiz. I've always maintained they deserve listing in the Countries of the World quiz. Tokelau is a New Zealand territory, and in referenda in 2006 and 2007 they voted on becoming independent in free association with New Zealand, and both votes failed to pass. Here is an article on a new referendum proposed for 2025.

Thanks for pointing this out - reading about it has uncovered an awful story of people being kicked out of their homeland for no good reason. The basis for this quiz is the country list at www.citypopulation.de, and Chagos, and BIOT, don't appear there.

Level 86
Jul 30, 2020
That's not a good choice. Most of the answers are clearly not sovereign countries but most of them have at least some autonomy. The overseas departments don't (that's why they are departments and not collectivities). It's like putting Hawaii in the list, same thing.

We agree with you that some of these "countries" aren't countries, and for the reasons you give too. Our original instructions before it was edited for featuring made this clearer, although that is just our opinion, as is yours.

I don't really see the point in such a quiz, sorry. citypopulation.de may be a useful website, but it's clearly full of mistakes. By the way, you don't even refer to them explicitely in the title, rather saying "reference sources"... and I don't understand that either if you really want to honor them with this quiz (that they in fact don't deserve).

Came to make the same complaint. This quiz isn't clear to me. What are the "reference sources?" Why are the territories above included but not:

Swahari Republic/Western Sahara

Taiwan (can't join the UN, can't fly its flag)

Palestine

Aruba

Greenland

Curacao

Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland (reference source, FIFA)

And so many others

TenThousand

There is only one reference source involved: www.citypopulation.de. The instructions originally stated explicitly that this quiz was about places referred to as countries by that website, but that text was edited to "reference sources" [sic] by Quizmaster Dan when this quiz was featured.
TenThousand

Spelling: explicitly. We agree with you about the vagueness of "reference sources". The original instructions specified www.citypopulation.de as the source for this quiz, but it was changed to "reference sources" by Quizmaster during the featuring process.

Ok... I'm not a native english-speaker, and my spellchecker is in French. I like good spelling and grammar, and I do my best. I spend quite a time to make understandable comments on these quizzes, but of course, I make mistakes. I often use a french-english dictionary, but I can't check every single word... just to explain those two mistakes, we spell "indépendant" for independent, and "explicite" for explicit. I will try to remember those two differences. But I'm also a sensitive person, and I feel that you are making fun of me or trying to unwind because my arguments annoy you. But I'm not saying all of this to bother you, don't I have the right to disagree?

Sorry but for me, it's a question of basic understanding of geography, and there are more ambiguous cases than this one. The French overseas departments are constituent parts of France, have very few autonomy, apart from that needed due to the distance with the mainland, and have very little chance to become independent soon.

I think you are missing the point here. This quiz is simply a list of the countries that are named as such at www.citypopulation.de. It does not seek to agree or disagree with their list. If you disagree, complain to them, not to us.

--> Aland Islands, which is not integrally part of Finland

--> Ceuta and Melilla, which are enclaves within Moroccan territory and enjoy a special status

--> Easter Island, which at least on a cultural level is far from being considered akin to the rest of Chile

TenThousand

Level 76
Sep 10, 2020
The first four are a part of the Countries 197 to 205 quiz. Akrotiri and Dhekelia have never been considered independent by anyone, and having been to both halves of that territory, I can see why - as you drive into and out of it from the Republic of Cyprus, it's border is completely unmarked and un-signposted. It is as good as invisible, and life continues within its borders exactly as in the neighbouring republic. The terms of its creation, when Britain granted Cyprus its independence, are explicit that it is not an active territory in the way that, say, Gibraltar is.

I know your use of the source citypopulation.de, but South Georgia and the British Indian Ocean Territory have the same status as the other British Overseas Territories. The only reason why they aren't listed in your source is that there is no permanent population, even if they are always inhabited. They still deserve the spot I would say.

Maybe add a caveat that it excludes uninhabited territories that are also usually listed in reference sources?
