Puerto Rico is not a country. Neither is Curacao for that matter, or South Vietnam (anymore). Maybe change it to ask for "homeland" or something?

It might be helpful to have a warning that many answers are "countries" that aren't around anymore or aren't on the standard list of 195 Sporcle usually uses.

It's also worth noting that there has never, ever been a major league baseball player who was born in Africa. No doubt many have lived there at some point, but despite over sixty years of integration no player, white or black, has ever been born there.

@Antithesys: There was once an Orioles prospect named Ntema "Papy" Ndungidi, who was born in DRC, but he had a mental breakdown before reaching the majors.

I'm totally okay with doing "the country they were born in" rather than "the country that runs things now where the person was born," fairly cool with listing Puerto Rico and other dependent territories separately, and moderately okay with splitting up the UK into constituent countries. But the Canary Islands? What possible justification is there for splitting them off from Spain?

I made the Canary Islands pop up at the same time with a "Spain" answer. I broke the categories down as they appear on baseball reference, thus the discrepancies. It seemed weird having Puerto Rico, a major source of players (represented independently in the WBC) pop up with the USA though...
