	In case you were wondering what went on this quiz and what was left off, I put on any islands that had been given any sort of autonomous status. If it is an autonomous region, I left it off if it touches the country that it is part of, such as Vojvodina. I left off the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands, as they are both autonomous communities, just like every other region of the country.

	This is also the reason I left out the other 5 Indian Union territories.

	Umm.. I don't understand. You said you put on any islands iwth autonomous status, but then you said you left off the Canary and Balearic Islands because they are autonomous. That's completely contradictory.

	Also, it should be "Palestinian Authority" not "Palestine".

	Azrael:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 03:45 GMT		4 points
	No, it's not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_community Ever region of Spain is known as an autonomous community. It's like a state in the US.

	They have those names as part of a system to decentralize Spain after Franco.

	Azrael:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 03:51 GMT		4 points
	Also, the region is Palestine. The government is the Palestinian Authority.

	You should allow Aland and Reunion without their accents. Also Macau is an acceptable alternative for Macao.

	agree with above comment also change saint barthelemy Great idea for quiz, but needs some more work to check definitions. For example Svalbard, is not considered a dependency but an integral part of Norway.

	kelil:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 13:30 GMT		1 point
	Interesting quiz, bloody hard though. I think palestinian territories should be an alternative answer, that's always how I've heard it referred to. I suppose the potential list of areas that might possibly come under this category must be very long, even places like cornwall have some kind of independence movement.

	Mcourtney:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 13:36 GMT		1 point
	it is 'Macau' is another accepted spelling of Macao, perhaps you should accept both. Very good quiz though!

	Azrael:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 16:53 GMT		1 point
	Aland was already added without the accent, but I added Reunion to the list. Macao now has both spellings, Svalbard has been removed, and Saint Barthelemy is now allowed with St., and has always been allowed without the accent.

	Azrael:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 16:56 GMT		1 point
	Upon rethinking the situation, I'd really like to have Svalbard in there, so I changed the name to "Norwegian territories, integral and dependent." Thoughts?

	Rusicade:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 18:23 GMT		1 point
	I'm not sure, but is "Nakhichevan" an acceptable alternative spelling? It didn't accept it on the quiz. By the way, this is probably one of the best quizzes I've played. Nice change of pace from guessing the usual "India" or "Kyrgyzstan" :P

	Azrael:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 17:08 GMT		2 points
	I added a ton of variant spellings for Nakhchivan. Wikipedia listed at least 10 or so.

	If you're saying the Canary and Balearic islands are not included as they are integral parts of Spain that have the same status as the mainland, then by the same reasoning shouldn't France's overseas departments also be excluded?

	Azrael:	Nov 8th, 2009 at 01:07 GMT		0 points
	I figure, if you want to be tested on the autonomous regions of Spain, go and take the quiz at http://www.sporcle.com/games/spain_regions.php

	Good quiz, just a bit of tidying needed. Sometimes 'st' works for 'saint', sometimes not. Sometimes you need the word 'islands', sometimes not

	joebobs:	Dec 27th, 2009 at 17:03 GMT		1 point
	Really very well done. I've seen this idea attempted a few times and this is easily the best. I think the definition you've used is a good one. I did find what anarresti said, that sometimes you need 'islands', sometimes not, so a little tidying is perhaps needed.

	France's overseas departments are usually listed specifically as DOM (Departements d'Outre-Mer), which basically means the same thing but in French :D rather than just as departments.

British crown dependencies

Chilean territories
