How did an error like this go unnoticed for over a decade? Congratulations, you’re the first to notice this - you should get a medal.
In all seriousness, you’re not the first to comment your opinion on this quiz, and you won’t be the last. Some people (including the creator of this quiz, who is also the owner of the site) believe Taiwan to be an independent country, so it will most likely stay that way. And anyways, in the end JetPunk is just a small quizzing website where geography nerds spend their online hours, so it’s not like the answers on this quiz will spark a war between China and Taiwan or anything.
Not sure how long it's been like this, but why is Crimea listed as part of Russia? It's part of Ukraine.
Russia annexed it illegally - doesn't mean the rest of us need to accept it. According to the US govt: Crimea is part of Ukraine. Some of the countries recognising its annexation include Afghanistan and North Korea.
I get that Russia has control over it but it feels like a slap in the face to Ukraine to say that it is just part of Russia the same as Moscow or St Petersburg.
If Russia has control over it - even if it was annexed illegally - it’s part of Russia. Going by your logic, we should recognize Czechoslovakia on the world map because it would be just so unfair and rude to leave them out.
It was one of the few countries that I straight up didn’t know before this site. There were many where I had at least heard the name but that was it, but East Timor is one that was new.
I think a good strategy for order is starting with Canada, filling out the Americas southwards until you reach the bottom of South America. Once all of the American countries are done, you type France and get French Guiana, completing the Americas and then you just continue with Europe and finish the rest in an border based order.
6:51 - but I'm just happy that I have everything correct. Could probably go sub 6 pretty easily but for the last 3 I always have to check what micronation is missing in the list below.
May I ask what continent you start on first and how you continue your route?
Taiwan and Kosovo are both countries. Taiwan was declared independence from China in 1949 while Kosovo was declared independent from Serbia in 2008. Palestine is not technically a country since its Israeli territory, therefore it has no reason to be added to this quiz.
Taiwan is 100% self-governing, whereas Palestine doesn't even have a government. Calling Taiwan a province of China is like calling Ukraine a province of Russia, or calling Guyana a province of Venezuela.
I'm thirteen I got all 196 after a while and am working on capitals. my high score is 7:38. keep persisting and I know that anyone will be able to beat this quiz if they keep trying. Do your best!
Because someone trying to quiz themselves on their country knowledge wouldn’t type “General Knowledge Quiz #173” into the search bar, they’d type “Countries of the World Quiz.” Most of the takes on this quiz aren’t from people with accounts.
I can only get around 5:31 time usage. I don't really abbreviate much of what I type other than CAR and DRC. I don't really know that it would make all that much of a difference if I even used the shortcut. Overall this quiz has greatly expanded my knowledge of not only names, but also locations of every UN country in the world. Great resource.
Well Japan is the official name of Japan. Mongolia is the official name of Mongolia. Malaysia is the official name of Malaysia. Romania is the official name of Romania. Etc
I've had my best time at 4:58 for a year, I honestly just cant type fast enough to beat that. Will have to look into different short cuts for countries besides the obvious ones like UAE, congo,and no spaces between names. Let me know if there is a full list somewhere
The only right order:canada, usa, mexico, central america. carribean, SA (France) from that west europe uk ireland iceland scandinavia, east europe, the rest of europe, middle east, africa, central asia south east asia, oceania

But, my thoughts don't matter much.

I've done this quiz many times before but I wasn't signed in.
That little East Timor almost got me.
