	Tbilisi but not Cairo? Do you have a source?

	Central Asia and Caucasus =/= Middle East. And you missed Egypt. Cyprus is also considered European for historical reasons.

	Too much time. I got this in 59 seconds. Also what 1447 said.

	What commenters above said. The core definition is: Egypt, Israel (and the Palestinian territories, which are not a standard country in Sporcle, so good for leaving them off), Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and the countries of the Arabian peninsula. Iran and Turkey are often added too. Placing Central Asia and the Caucasus in the Middle East is a bit of a stretch. If anything, the other North African countries (Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco) have much closer geopolitical ties to the region.

	The Caucasus, Central Asia and Cyprus are not in the Middle East. And if you're going to include those areas, then north Africa, which is more historically and linguistically linked to the middle east than the caucasus and central asia, should be.

	Cyprus is part of Europe.

	Cyprus?

	Cyprus is closer to Turkey than to Greece. But Egypt should so be in here, and the Stans/Caucasians should so be out. Either that, or rename the quiz to something like, "Capitals from Here and There".
