	Thanks for the Publish, Sporcle! :)

	Of course, start with Russia and China - and look confused at no response. Great quiz.

	Apparently my brain is aware that South Sudan borders Sudan, but can't be bothered to remember that Sudan borders South Sudan.

	nolan4 It's in the list of sporcle countries, so should be included on this sporcle quiz.

	Could have done with another minute or two.

	As a clueless American I always assumed Slovakia and Slovenia bordered each other. Learned something new.

	San Marino, South Korea, Sudan, and Suriname. What a sight Sporcle!

	Should UK (Gibraltar) be accepted as a border with Spain (or should I just red arrow myself now?)

	Missed only South Sudan. Doh!

	Nolan4, a good way to remember who counts as a country is to think of which places are self-governing. For example, even though Serbia has claimed to have the rights to Kosovo, Kosovo is ruled by its own government. The same can be said for Taiwan. While Taiwan is claimed by the People's Republic of China, the PRC doesn't actual govern Taiwan in any way.

	@simon78: the difference between Suriname/French Guiana and Morocco/Ceuta and Melilla on the one hand, and Spain/Gibraltar on the other, is that French Guiana, Ceuta and Melilla are integral parts of their 'parent' countries - laws passed in Madrid apply in Ceuta and Melilla, citizens of French Guiana vote in French parliamentary elections etc.; they just happen to be on a different continent to the main part of the country. The same is not true of Gibraltar - although not an independent country, it is self-governing; UK laws don't apply there, its people are not UK citizens, and it isn't part of the EU.

	@Jeffhabfan: that doesn't always apply. The government of Moldova has no control over Transdniestr, nor that of Somalia over Somaliland. Both of those, and numerous others, are de facto self-governing, but not recognised as de jure sovereign states.

	Jeffhabfan:	Jan 24th, 2013 at 17:41 GMT		7 points
	Fair enough. I actually wasn't aware of either of your examples. I knew Somaliland claimed independence from Somalia, but I was under they impression they were under Somali rule. I'm always willing to learn something new, especially here at Sporcle.

	love the quiz, but...not wanting to be a poor-typist whiner, I'm going to become a poor-typist whiner - that's a lot of typing. Even knowing most of the answers, I get nowhere near done in time. another minute even would make it more accessible. However it does provide a good way to focus your knowledge of the specific geographic regions (which is always a good thing).

	Pretty surprised that Italy is the most guessed answer.

	I rarely complain about time, but I'm with triffid. I knew the time wouldn't be enough when I started, and I was right. Great quiz; I just want time to enjoy it.

	good quiz, although would it be possible to accept 'bosniaandherzegovina' for bosnia - herzegovina?

	Ran out of time D: Didn't even get to the easy ones bordering Sweden!

	PatPak:	Jan 26th, 2013 at 16:28 GMT		1 point
	I'm with many here with frustration about running out of time. Usually when I run out of time, it's because I'm guessing quite a bit or don't know a # of this answers. In this case, however, I knew most of these, but ran out of time anyway, and I think I type at at least an average speed. Probably an extra minute would fix it.

	@nolan4: Switzerland only joined the UN in 2002. Are you saying that Switzerland wasn't a country before then?
