	Sporcle treats Taiwan as an independent country, so I'd say it shouldn't be on here. Otherwise, nice quiz.

	Saint Martin is one island but half of it is French and half of it is Dutch. Should count for both. The Dutch side is called "St. Maarten" so you could also count them separately.

	@jacksparrow: Sint Maarten is a part of the Netherlands Antilles. (It will change next year, but at this moment Sint Maarten is not yet a separate territory.)

	Great quiz, I've been waiting for this one to come out and be well made and I was completely satisfied. Maybe add the Galapagos Islands, 'owned' by Ecuador?

	Great quiz! I've seen this idea attempted before but this is the best execution of it. Well done! :)

	Fun quiz! I think it would also be fun to add the other Chinese Autonomous regions, Guangxi, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia as well as Galapagos Islands and Easter Island.

	Over 10% didn't realize that the United States Virgin Islands are a dependency of the United States. That's kinda scary.

	Hong Kong and Macau should be "special administrative regions" (SAR). People can confuse "special economic region" with "special economic zone", which is different from SAR.

	i think less time should be better

	Very well done. I never seem to learn much from these though. It's too easy to just type US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada & France for everything and you're bound to get half right!

	China shouldn't work for Spratly Islands. You should have to type Taiwan.

	@crover: Typing Canada for all of them seems like it would be counterproductive.

	Palestine is recognised by over half the countries of the world - and by the UN. It's status is perhaps more accurately described as "invaded / occupied by Israel".

	cmkeller:	Feb 9th, 2010 at 00:40 GMT		0 points
	Israel has never annexed "Palestine", they just occupy it until they can find a trustworthy government to take responsibility for it off their hands.

	Sporcle has become invaded with cheaters in the past few months. I missed ten, and I'm pretty smart...actually, very smart with geo...and I was 52nd percentile? How many of these miraculous winners sat there typing the big 5 over and over for each one? Losers.

	Why is Greenland pseudo-independent while the Faroe Islands are only a dependency? I thought they had the same status.
