Suggestions for adding: The 22 countries recognizing taiwan don't recognize PR china. Israel isn't recognized by some countries. Armenia isn't recognized by pakistan. Liechtenstein and slovakia don't recognize eachother. Same with the Koreas. I might have forgotten some there :)

Great quiz! I had expected there to be a lot more. I would recommend SADR be accepted for Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, but I did appreciate that Western Sahara was accepted. Good work

I always thought that to be a member of the UN, a country has to recognise all other members (although perhaps not necessarily agree with their existance). Is that not right?

This quiz reveals the inconsistencies in many Sporcle geo quizzes. Why does Kosovo and Taiwan count but not Western Sahara and Palestine?

@anAmateur, I believe it is going by the countries recognized by the US. It is an American website, after all.

@anAmatuer: Because that's what America wants to recognise.

Could you accept Transdniestria as a variation of Transnistria?

The actual name of the entity in northern Cyprus is "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," or "TRNC." I've been to Transnistria/Transdniestria; it's an eerie way-back machine into what the US Government told everyone all Communist societies were like back in the '80s, except this is real.

Why do Kosovo and Taiwan count as countries and not Western Sahara and Palestine? Because Kosovo and Taiwan are both de facto states that are recognized by a number of other sovereign states. Neither Western Sahara (whose government is currently in exile in Algeria) nor the Palestinian Authority exercise full control over their territories. It's a rather practical definition and has little to do with whether the US or UN recognize it. For example, Taiwan is recognized by neither the US nor UN, yet it remains a de facto state that functions as a country and meets the definition of a state according to the Montevideo Convention of 1931. I think Sporcle has made the correct call for now, but things change. Interesting discussion of these issues here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states#Other_states
