	Need to accept the common sporcle abbreviations (CAR,DRC, etc.). British Indian Ocean Territory, Curacao, Sint Maarten, Republic of Congo are missing, and Netherland Antilles is defunct. You've got French overseas departments as separate (French Guiana, Reunion, etc.), and they're considered part of Metropolitan France (like Hawaii is part of the USA). You've also got generally unrecognized states (Abhkhazia, Northern Cyprus, etc.). Should accept Faroes for Faroe Islands, and Falklands for Falkland Islands. Maybe not require typing "Island" for others. Finally, maybe add a couple minutes.

	Nice quiz, but you should include a source. As above stated the French Overseas Departments should be removed as they're included in (Metropolitan) France (French Guiana, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Reunion, and Mayotte). OK to include generally unrecognized states but you should so state in your instructions. Accepting a bunch of abbreviations would help as would increasing the time to 20 minutes. Most multi word country names have abbreviations: AB (Antigua and Barbuda) BF (Burkina Faso) CV (Cape Verde) CAR (Central African Republic) CI (Cote d'Ivoire) preferred for Ivory Coast DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo) GB (Guinea-Bissau) NK (North Korea) SK (South Korea) NZ (New Zealand) PNG (Papua New Guinea) RC (Republic of Congo) missing currently SKN (St Kitts and Nevis) SVG (St Vincent and the Grenadines) TL (Timor-Leste) TT (Trinidad and Tobago) UAE (United Arab Emirates) UK (United Kingdom) US (United States) VC (Vatican City) The Antarctic Territories should also probably be mentioned in the instructions as their legal status is disputed if you intend to keep them included. Accept Transnistria for Pridnestrovie. Some additional territories: Sint Maarten, Akrotiri, and Dhekelia.

	@tahitiwahini - almost none of those are sporcle-accepted abbreviations. Only PNG, DRC, CAR, UAE, US, and UK are accepted abbreviations.

	Thankyou for your input everyone - I've made all the changes suggested and added two minutes to the clock :) This is the first quiz I've ever created, and I'm generally clueless with computers, so I appreciate your help! One thing I'm not sure how to do is change the instructions - can you help?

	tahitiwahini:	May 6th, 2011 at 12:50 GMT		2 points
	@emmafrisbee: Go to Create (what you used to originally create the quiz). A list of your created quizzes will appear, click EDIT for this quiz. The Game Info page will appear, click on Show More Game Options. Scroll down the page. You can add/change text in any of the boxes but Game Note and Embed Code are the best for instructions. Game Note has a 200 character limit, but Embed Code is practically unlimited.

	@bsd987: The abbreviations I've asked the quizmaker to consider supporting have the following characteristics: they're unique, unambiguous, cause absolutely no problems for those who don't know about them or don't wish to use them, and are all formed from a consistent and easily understood process (form an acronym from the initial letter of each significant word in the multi-word common Sporcle country name, omitting insignificant words like "and", "of", and "the"). The one exception to the above statement is UK which does have an ambiguity problem with UKraine, but is so widely used that it has become widely expected even despite that defect. Sporcle-accepted abbreviations are abbreviations that quiz-makers support in their Sporcle quizzes. The abbreviations you mention are not an official list of the sporcle-accepted abbreviatons. If you think they are, please link to where that official list is maintained. Most of the ones you cite are very widely accepted. PNG is less widely accepted but is in the process of becoming more widely accepted. It's not a black and white situation but rather a continuum. DRC as an abbreviation was not handed down on a stone tablet, part of the Six Sporcle Commandments. If quizmakers think abbreviations are reasonable and would improve the play of their games they will put them in. As players are made aware of the abbreviations they will use them (if the want to, if they don't want to they never have to even be aware that they exist). Eventually abbreviations that make sense become become more widely adopted. Survival of the fittest in action. What specific objections do you have to any of the suggested abbreviations? Do you think that the ones that are less widely accepted shouldn't be accepted? If so, why? If they are accepted who is harmed exactly?

	You should accept Heard and McDonald Islands. You're missing the South Sandwich Islands, which are generally included with South Georgia (South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands). To add to Tahitiwahini's list of abbreviations BIOT for British Indian Ocean Territory, USVI for US Virgin Islands. This is really good for a first quiz! Very challenging. Maybe you could divide it up into the categories of the title, so people know whether the answer they're missing is a country or territory etc?

	Well, I've finally managed to get all 268, with 47 seconds left :)

	I've added in South Sudan now as well.

	emmafrisbee:	Nov 12th, 2011 at 23:47 GMT		1 point
	Right. I've given continents as clues, and grouped answers according to them. Hope this helps! :)

	jacana:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 11:23 GMT		1 point
	you should also accept St Vincent for St Vincent and the Grenadines

	emmafrisbee:	Jan 3rd, 2012 at 18:56 GMT		2 points
	@ A_is_for_Addict, I've added in the status of each 'country' as a third column, as you suggested, and the other things you mentioned. Likewise yours, jacana.

	emmafrisbee:	Oct 3rd, 2012 at 06:03 GMT		1 point
	Any ideas why the status of each country that I added it have now all disappeared?
