	You're missing Singapore, Mauritius, Seychelles, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Lesotho, Swaziland, Samoa, and perhaps some others. Also, I'm not sure why you would include Yemen and Cameroon, which were only partly in the British Empire, but exclude Somalia and Nicaragua, which were in the same position.

	The inaccuracies make this a poor quiz. And besides those listed above, isn't this quiz missing the UK?

	If you're going to include countries that include territories that were part of the British Empire (e.g. Yemen, Cameroon), you'd also need Spain (Minorca), Greece (Ionian islands) and Germany (Heligoland).

	Countries not fully controlled are included as Bonus questions, so Heligooland the Ionian islands and Minorca ARE there (Vanuatu considered fully controlled)

	You haven't corrected St. Vincent and the Grenadines yet. Also, you should change the title to say were once part of the British Empire but are no longer. I was irritated that the UK was a bonus answer.

	Vanuatu was controlled with France as a condominion, known as New Hebrides.

	@Gowhere: Why were you 'irritated' the UK was a bonus answer? The title at the top of the page did say countries once part of the British Empire. I changed the game name too, just for you. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines fixed, thanks. @Auguste: Yes, but I included it here because they did control it, even if in partnership with france

	@Chipmunkdavis: Just coming back to this - sorry for the long delay. I was irritated because the UK was once part of the British Empire. The fact that it still is, doesn't exclude it from the category. That said, your addition as a bonus answer, as well as all the other bonus answers makes it a much better quiz. I have now rated it a 5.

	@Gowhere: I understand what you mean, but I think there would be alot more outrage if I had put UK as an answer, as people often consider countries that became independent from the UK. Thanks, I spent a very long time on those bonus answers!

	There's no hyphen in "Sierra Leone." Also, I think this quiz would be much better with less time.
