	Caps Lock broken? And since when is 'Gaza Strip' an accepted Sporcle nation? And how does the Middle East not include at least Kuwait and Iraq?

	I agree with masternachos that gaza strip is no official country (and if it was it would be palestine I think). Next to that, please also count UAE for united arab emirates.

	Gaza Strip??? You are kidding?

	Agree with above, plus how come Egypt (at least) isn't in?

	I think Iran and Iraq should be here at least. And I agree with the UAE, and gaza strip commentaries

	This has to be one of the lamest quizzes ever submitted. It duplicates an existing PUBLISHED quiz, it omits several obvious answers, it includes the gaza strip, it doesn't take UAE, it doesn't bother capitalizing the answers that show up --- it is a masterpiece of awfulness.

	CNN's program "Inside the Middle East" profiles MANY nations that aren't even listed in this quiz (ex. Tunisia, Egypt, Iraq, etc.) I think you should seriously revise this quiz. Also, I have never seen a map with the country "Gaza Strip" on it. I would use "Israel/Palestine" as an answer (allowing players to type in either answer). It would end confusion for Sporclers in nations who recognize one and not the other.

	Kuwait, Iran, Iraq. And if you're going to include Gaza Strip, you might as well include Narnia and Middle Earth.

	I'd consider Iraq to be in the Middle East as well, and possibly Iran too. 'Gaza Strip' really isn't acceptable; Palestine would be better.

	Palestine? That's even worse than Gaza Strip. Palestine is the geographical region that Israel and Jordan are in at the moment. Iran and Iraq should definitely be here, Gaza Strip should be out. Oh, and how about some capital letters? This looks a bit sloppy.

	1. Learn how to use capitalisation 2. The Gaza Strip nor Palestine is a country 3. Iraq is definitely in the Middle East

	@climber_v12 Palestine is also the collective name for the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The fact that it takes its name from the general geographical region is really neither here nor there in this context. Any objection to 'United States of America', because the country doesn't in fact include the whole of North and South America? ...Nope.
