	timor leste should be accepted for east timor, considering it is accepted for the countries of the world quiz.

	jzev:	May 25th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	32 points

I missed Canada, Portugal, and Ireland, but got everything else...something must be wrong with me.

	Cyprus should be a bonus answer (Northern Cyprus)

	DWert19:	May 25th, 2009 at 05:15 GMT	14 points
	Great Quiz, I can't get enough of geography ones. Got em all on the first try. a few threw me off, like I thought singapore bordered just one. learned otherwise

	Havok3595:	May 25th, 2009 at 05:15 GMT	27 points
	Yeah, most I missed are some of the highest ranking, but I got all those crazy split islands...except the UK. How could I possibly get Ireland but not UK? I have no idea.

	yes:	May 25th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT	18 points
	This is one of those games where you miss the obvious ones. I forgot about Portugal completely, whereas for some reason I got Brunei.

	DWert19:	May 25th, 2009 at 05:23 GMT	14 points
	@Burton Northern Cyprus is difficult to include for anumber of reasons. for one, its sovereignty is only recognized by one country- turkey. even if others recognized it, its sovereingty would be questioned as well because it is occupied by a large Turkish force to protect its claim to independence.

	micah:	May 25th, 2009 at 05:26 GMT	10 points
	I forgot about Portugal too! Nice quiz.

	Skizzle:	May 25th, 2009 at 05:31 GMT	10 points
	@Havok3595: Don't feel bad. I got UK but I missed Ireland.....and Canada.

	Why Lesotho/South Africa but not Swaziland/South Africa? Does it touch Mozambique?

	Havok3595:	May 25th, 2009 at 05:36 GMT	12 points
	Swaziland does touch Mozambique. And while I got Canada, I missed Portugal. So we're cool, Brandon. :)

	bsd987:	May 25th, 2009 at 05:39 GMT	14 points
	@DWert19 - I know, that's why I say it should be a bonus answer.

	clavinfield:	May 25th, 2009 at 05:47 GMT	22 points
	For some reason it didn't occur to me to enter both countries in the case of shared islands (Ireland/UK, Haiti/DR), so I got Ireland and Haiti, but missed both the UK and the Dominican Republic! Big facepalm moment on my part.

	i dont think we shud have Cyprus as an answer or even as a bonus... the part claimed to be soveriegn country of northern Cyprus is forcefully occupied by Turkey and hence Cyprus has no neighbour. As we are not considering the dependents, considering occupied territories will be wrong.

	Kitnaz:	May 25th, 2009 at 08:39 GMT	9 points
	can't beleive i missed out south korea!

	thickas:	May 25th, 2009 at 08:39 GMT	28 points
	with regards to cyprus its not listed in the island nations quiz (it's a bonus answer), not on here either it must fit in somewhere?

	JohnJF:	May 25th, 2009 at 08:42 GMT	14 points
	I missed Canada because I thought of the United States below and then Alaska in the northwest. I guess that's what I get for taking Sporcle quizzes at 3:45 in the morning.

	@john: There was a long discussion about Cyprus on the island nations quiz. In the end, I decided I wouldn't have put it as a bonus there if I was writing the quiz again.

	davidr:	May 25th, 2009 at 09:16 GMT	10 points
	@Rhys: Actually, they've spelt it `wrong' on purpose, in the sense that the removal of the `u' from words like `colour' and `neighbour' was a deliberate act on the part of Noah Webster and others. It was all part of an attempt to create a distinctively American spelling, to differentiate from the stinky imperialist Brits.

	davidr:	May 25th, 2009 at 09:18 GMT	4 points
	@JohnJF: Ah, but did you get Brunei? That's in a similar situation with Canada: it has two separate borders with Malaysia.

	I was going to make mention of how I only missed the two most popular answers, and how i feel a fool for it, but I am incredibly hearted to see that loads of other people are in the same boat! Here's to people with great specialist knowledge but who still miss the blindindly obvious!

	DerekH:	May 25th, 2009 at 09:56 GMT	9 points
	OK, I missed half-a-dozen (I'm sure half these countries didn't exist when I was at school!), but the one that irked most was Monaco - because I spent yesterday afternoon watching the F1 GP!
