	Accept 'slovenia italy'. Other than that, no faults with this quiz.

	Great idea and great quiz. (Let the incorrect complaining about French Guiana begin...)

	Have rectified the errors. Cheers for the comments guys.

	Oh, and whilst making the quiz, I did wonder whether England and Spain should be included considering the location of Gibraltar. I chose to leave it out though on the grounds that Gibraltar is an overseas territory of the UK and not England as a principality. However, I'm still unsure. Anyone with superior geographical knowledge wanna clarify? Any other similar unusual borders I've missed?

	Mathers: Gibraltar is not included, as it's an overseas territory, whereas, by comparison, French Guiana is an integral part of France - it's administered as a part of France, it just happens to be a long way from it, if you see what I mean. If you were going to include territories (which is not sporcle convention, so you'd have to say so in the instructions, pref. in CAPS so people don't miss it) you'd have France-Netherlands too, due to Saint Martin/Maarten.

	@joebobs Thanks, that clears it up a lot. Will leave it as it is.

	Listing the world rankings made it too easy. At some point all that was necessary was to look back at prior answers and match up the numbers.

	Agreed on the world rankings. I'd make them pop up when answered, not from the beginning.

	@ joebobs and Mathers... If you include the landborder of Brazil and France, you should also include the landborder of Netherlands and France (Saint Martin/Sint Maarten)...
