	Azerbaijan is not considered European. Remove it (or at least include Armenia as well)

	Actually, nadivereb, the border of Europe (in that region) is considered to be the Caucasus mountains. Azerbaijan and Georgia straddle the mountains, so are in both Europe and Asia, whilst Armenia lies totally to the south, so is in Asia only. It does say in the instructions that countries partly in Europe are included - Armenia has no part in Europe, Azerbaijan does. Good quiz! Very festive! :)

	Enjoy the quiz! Merry Christmas to all of you! :) (Azerbaijan is partly in Europe as mentioned in the notes, Armenia is not in Europe at all so they cannot be treated in the same way).

	Azerbaijan got me. Sporcle almost always counts it (and Georgia and Armenia) as Asia.

	nadivereb:	Dec 23rd, 2010 at 22:23 GMT		3 points
	@joebobs: I personally agree. However, on Sporcle all Caucasian countries are considered Asian (unlike Turkey and Russia, for example), which may or may not be right, but that's how it is here.

	@ nadvivereb: I know the sporcle customs, I've actually been a member longer than you. And I disagree with you and chriskotx, I've seen it debated many, many times, and the consensus is generally that Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia and Turkey are counted as both (and occasionally even Kazakhstan and Cyprus get in on the debate). But the point remains, it says in the instructions that countries only partially in Europe count.

	This debate got me interested and according to the sources I checked (the UN, CIA World Factbook, BBC News, and Oxford Reference) there is no differentiation made between Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia when it comes to classifying them as either Asian or European. While I personally side with the UN and CIA and say that they are in Asia, if Azerbaijan is included Armenia should be as well.

	Thanks for rating it one globe CarlG. Very mature. There are no mistakes in my quiz and it's a nice Christmas quiz for God's sake. Go eat some mince pie!

	I don't see how you can put in Azerbaijan and leave out Scotland.

	ulashima:	Dec 24th, 2010 at 07:42 GMT		2 points
	But let me tell you this, personal preferences and different geographical opinions aside, due to this standard people normally do not think about Azerbaijan as a European country and do not guess it as one, and do not input in as a quiz answer.

	If you're going to go by strict geographical definitions, then Cyprus shouldn't be included. Cyprus is an Asian island, its directly south of the Asian part of Turkey. On sporcle, its listed as a European country, as its European in terms of politics, culture, language etc, but geographically it is Asian. Its a similar situation with Armenia, which also lies within Asia, but is culturally and politically European. You should either exlude Cyprus or add Armenia. Oh, and happy Christmas!

	I don't see rating a quiz 1 for having what I see as an unfair inaccuracy to be immature. I do, however, find calling someone out on it in public to be quite immature. And I'm not Christian.

	You do not have the right to talk about what's fair and what's not since you gave this quiz a grade of 1 which is given to appalling quizzes. The accuracy of one of the answers is very much debatable as you may have noticed; nothing to do with fairness. Also your religious preferences are of no relevance.
