	When you type in the letter "a", "Republic of Turkey" and "Western Armenia" come up.

	Shouldn't Iraq be included? At least the New Cambridge Modern History Atlas shows it as part of the Ottoman Empire from 16th century to WWI. I suppose Cantab. is a reliable source!

	Iraq should definitely be included. The ones that are not countries should not be included.

	Iran should probably also be included - the Ottomans controlled Tabriz for a while.

	Why have you listed the full names of some countries "Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan" and not other countries "Greece" just curious. Also Kosovo was part of the ottoman Empire.

	Crimea and Abkhazia are not recognised by every country.

	Crimea is not recognised by anyone and Abkhazia only by Russia. You're missing at least Djibouti, Kosovo, Kuwait and Iraq, also Russia, Slovenia and Austria. I believe they held Malta at various points too. Somaliland isn't a recognised country. If you are having all countries with only limited recognition, where are Palestine and Kosovo? Why full names for some and not for others? Western Armenia should be the Republic of Armenia. Herzegovina is misspelled. Finally, I don't think the Ottomans ever reached Oman.

	This is so inconsistent as to be worthless.

	Sicily was also Ottoman for a while, so Italy should be included.

	Hate to add to the list but United Arab Emirates should also be included.

	Kosovo isn't recognized by the UN nor most of the countries in it. So it is right not to be included. Who cares whether the creator of Sporcle recognizes it, because s/he doesn't represent an international body. In saying that, many included are not recognized countries either so they should be taken off (or be added as bonus answers).

	Matthewsch- You are on Sporcle, Sporcle recognizes Kosovo. AS for the other "countries' they are inconsistent. If Abkhazia is considered a country, how come South Ossetia isn't also? Shouldn't Palestine be an alternative answer to Israel if Armenia and Turkey both come up?
