	Wondering about the drop-off after Mauritania? Western Sahara = not a country. It is claimed & mostly controlled by Morocco (including total control of the entire coast), and therefore shouldn't be included on this quiz. On an unrelated note, this quiz could be a better challenge if you included all African countries, not just the ones on the coastline.

	Yeah, I do realise it's not a country, but as I understand it, ownership is disputed - am I wrong in saying Spain also has a claim to all/some of it? I did add 'countries/territories' to the question as a slightly cowardly way of including it without dealing with the ownership issues. And with regard to including the non-coastal countries... did consider it, but though it might have been too hard? Happy to go with consensus though. Feel free to vote this comment up if you want them included...?

	The whole Western Sahara thing is such a mess. This is how I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong): it's claimed my Morocco and SADR but because Spain failed to see that its former colony had become 'self-determining' and become an independent country or willingly become a part of Morocco, it's still considered their reprehensibility even though they haven't administrated it since the 70s. Or something like that. I would just drop it completely from the quiz.

	Spain isn't about Western Sahara, AngriSi. Spain is about the fact that it has two areas that border Morocco. You can't go around the coastline of Africa without touching Spain.

	I think there's nothing wrong with including Western Sahara in this format, perhaps with a health warning in the notes, but yes Spain should definitely also be included after Morocco

	picked mozambique instead of tanzania FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF finished but only took like 50 tries lol good quiz

	I think Western Sahara should be out - all of the coastal parts are controlled by Morocco anyway (the Polisario control areas inland) and if you're going to look at everything along the coast then e.g. Spain should be on it, Angola and Senegal (and Spain) should be on twice, Morocco should be on three times and it just gets messy..

	Re: Angola, Senegal and Morocco appearing multiple times... it did stipulate in the instructions that countries are only listed on the occasion they FIRST appear.

	tm83:	May 2nd, 2012 at 12:46 GMT		0 points
	Yeh well I didn't read the instructions did I ?

	Even if we don't include the multiple ones, Spain is still missing.

	Good quiz, but what about Ceuta and Melilla (Spanish territorial claims)?
