	Palestinian Territories isn't a country.

	The absence of the US is ridiculous... Most of Wikileaks documents are about the US infiltrating in other countries..

	You should change to "geopolitical entities" instead of deleting Palestine. Strict definitions of countries that don't reflect quizzes' sources are absurd.

	Fun quiz but you need to fix it. Most importantly, it's currently unsourced so add that. Secondly, this quiz could be much more interesting if the countries were in order of how many times they were mentioned, along with how many times they were mentioned in another column. Currenly 2 globes, but could be a 4

	adrian96... only in your Zionist dreams is that the case. More than 100 Countries recognize Palestine as an independent country. All the countries of Africa and Asia including India, China, and Russia, Eastern Europe (including Poland, Greece), and Latin America (Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, etc). Only matter of time before Palestine becomes an independent state.

	@faraznaeem: I for one am no Zionist; I strongly oppose most Israeli policy regarding the Palestinian territories, and I hope you’re right that it’s only a matter of time until independence is achieved. However — for a quiz site, it’s very useful to have one general standard list and stick to it, and on this issue, there’s no way to make a choice that everybody will agree with. So until independence comes, I think we can live with having Palestine left off Sporcle quizzes; frankly, this isn’t the biggest problem Palestine currently has to face…

	you need a source! great idea for a quiz, but useless without a source!

	Im showing USA twice, but it only came up once when I typed it.

	According to the source, you skipped Zimbabwe at the end.

	Why would Bolivia get that much attention and not Chile, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela? And how can they do that much talking and not include Kyrgyzstan? ;/

	Venezuela was ahead of Bolivia

	Apparently Mr. Assange doesn't care how well I learned how to spell all the "istan" former Soviet Republics.

	Great quiz, especially now with source citation and ordering by number of mentions. @faraznaeem - Adrian96's comment was juvenile and hateful, but please, don't attribute that to his "Zionist dreams", but rather to his hatefulness. I, like most of the Israelis I know, support the creation of a Palestinian state with which we want to coexist in peace. Zionism does not mean being anti-Palestinian or supporting the occupation. It simply means that we want to be independent, much like our Palestinian neighbours. Like all human populations, some among our ranks are right-wing fascists or religious fundamentalists. But that doesn't mean our current government is representative of Zionism any more than Hamas is a legitimate representation of all Palestinian nationalists. Peace.

	Presumably Bolivia gets the added attention because its leader is a friend of Chavez and critical of the U.S.

	Given the founder is from Australia, I would've thought he would pick on his own country a bit more?

	This really isn't a good place to discuss the validity of Palestine's claim to statehood. Excellent quiz, it really gives some insight into what worries the U.S. in current affairs - I was quite surprised that France and Spain, for example, appeared above Pakistan, Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia and North Korea. Troubled by the possibility of a European financial crisis?

	Wikileaks has revealed that the CIA isn't taking Kyrgyzstan seriously enough for my liking.

	spikethedee:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 20:40 GMT		4 points
	Two things - I'm amazed that South Korea isn't there. Why is Spain so high??

	Now that sporcle does indeed recognize Palestine, it probably needs to be in the quiz.

	Fusty:	May 6th, 2013 at 15:37 GMT		-1 points
	I wish to direct everybody to adrian96's comment in 2010.

	abbjar1:	May 6th, 2013 at 22:53 GMT		0 points
	Can you add Kyrgyzstan as a bonus answer. I think it would make us sporclers very happy
