This is a type of country quiz, but it is not a "country" quiz, as the United Nations is not a country, but an organization. Hence the name, "Organization Quiz."

	Please enjoy this country quiz style test about the United Nations. Feedback is greatly appreciated. If you have alternate answers, or suggestions for more questions, don't hesitate to speak. Thanks.

	Not entirely sure what you mean by "Only Non-Member State". As far as I know there are three non-member states, that is, countries recognized by a substantial number of other countries but not UN members: Taiwan, Kosovo and Vatican City State. Maybe you are referring to Vatican City State (or Holy See) as the only country with Observer Status? In which case, you may want to reconsider the wording of the question: Only Non-Member State Observer, perhaps.

	Or perhaps: Only Non-Member Observer State, sounds better.

	Didn't know about the Regional Headquarters locations. I like how if you live in Liechtenstein you have a tough decision to make deciding which office to go to, Geneva or Vienna.

	@ tahitiwahini, To clarify, by only non-member state, I was referring only to states with general international recognition of being sovereign. Both Kosovo and Taiwan, although recognized by some nations, do not fit this category, and aren't recognized by the UN. Vatican City is the only fully recognized state not to be a member of the UN, but you are correct in saying that it holds observer status for the general assembly.

	Terrific quiz! Clever to make the colors blue and white. I didn't pick that up until the end. 5 globes.

	@ Tahitiwahini: Also, Palestine has more official recognition than Taiwan (though Taiwan has more unofficial recognition).

	True enough, but Taiwan exercises sovereign control over its territory, it's a de facto sovereign country (but not currently a UN member). It's not even clear what the borders of Palestine are, and I don't think anyone seriously considers that it exercises sovereign control over its territory. Taiwan is a sovereign state, Palestine isn't there yet.
