The Moroccan coastline is disrupted 3 times by Spanish exclaves. Ceuta, Penon de Velez de la Gomera and Melilla.

Please don't be pedantic.

It would be kind of nice of you to clue us in that some countries (Angola, Senegal) appear on the list twice. Especially if you're going to say including the Spanish exclaves is pedantic.

To be fair, the instructions are pretty straightforward. It's difficult to keep everyone happy and make a playable quiz. It's acknowledged generally that Spain is a European country. To include it in this quiz is likely to make it extremely difficult for those not familiar with the Spanish exclaves.

If you're excluding exclaves Angola shouldn't be on there twice. A quiz like this made before (that covered the whole of Afroeurasia) included Spain. Although including Penon de Velez dde la Gomera can be slightly controversial, noone can dispute Ceuta and Melilla. Even Morocco says they're on Africa! (and therefore claims them)

For goodness sake! I have come to the conclusion that you can't keep everyone happy. What was meant to be a simple fun quiz has clearly failed in its intentions. If you don't like it, don't play it.

@dazbradley: Maybe take a look at the ones that have already done this, they seemed to have no trouble keeping people happy. I like how you handled Western Sahara, since even if you don't think it should be there you'd just type Morocco, get Western Sahara, and wouldn't be confused. Also you handled exclaves fine in your other quiz, (UAE, Oman, UAE, Oman)... Plus you included the Angolan exclave, so consistency would be nice.

OK - further amendments made. Hope it's more consistent now. Thanks for the feedback folks.

Yes, well I was a little grouchy previously. Once I came round I saw that there were areas for improvement. ;)

Oh much nicer. Nice informational tidbits. Just to nitpick, accept more alternatives for "Republic of then Congo", such as "rc" and "Republic Congo"
