	Nice quiz, however you were missing a couple countries. Croatia and Slovenia were both part of the Ottoman as was Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. If the answers were alphabetical as well that would help, but that is just nit-picking. Still good quiz

	I wasn't sure if Slovenia or Bahrain were part of it or not, so I didn't want to include them just in case. I did have Croatia on it, though. Thanks for the correction!

	Wikipedia says that at least part of the UAE was under Ottoman control at some point in the 16th century.

	Another I was unsure of and was actually just checking on. Thanks!

	Add: Slovakia, Italy, possibly Malaysia (Kelantan) and Indonesia (Aceh). Subtract: Bahrain. --- Nitra, Slovakia (known as Neutra Erlau) was captured by the Ottomans in 1664 according to Wikipedia. I don't see how Bahrain could be included as it was Portuguese till 1600, and then Persian till end of 18th century, then Arab, then British in the 1860's. Also the fortress of Otranto (Italy) was captured by the Turks in 1480 for one year. here is a good map of europe with overlay: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/05/Ottoman_empire_at_Europe.PNG

	too much time!! five minutes should be plenty to essentially name all the countries near Turkey. great quiz though!

	You should also add Ethiopia. It's on your map. However I dispute the accuracy of that map. The Ottomans never took Transylvania.

	Obviously, Turkey was the only one I missed. I feel almost as bad as when I missed Russia among the former Soviet states.

	Great quiz!

	I agree with the time...I still had over 3 minutes remaining...but I guess it's good for your average quiz taker.
