	How have more people got spain and mexico than the USA. It says 1865-present people.

	Never knew about the 'Texas Republic' so thanks for the new knowledge Sporcle.

	magister:	Nov 6th, 2008 at 16:33 GMT	12 points
	How did I forget 1861-1865! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

	wow, i got 5! couldn't figure out what the confederate states of america was- just looked puzzled til the time ran out.

	Liz:	Nov 6th, 2008 at 16:47 GMT	9 points
	So ... I typed in "Confederate States" and nothing happened. Then I typed in "Confederacy" and what popped up? "Confederate States of America." How does that make any sense?

	Heh, almost forgot about the CSA

	HollywoodLeo:	Nov 6th, 2008 at 17:03 GMT	17 points
	And why USA isn't at 100 percent is beyond me.

	jesus:	Nov 6th, 2008 at 17:16 GMT	7 points
	my point exactly

	Matt8204:	Nov 6th, 2008 at 17:33 GMT	4 points
	People probably didn't see "1865-PRESENT" and thought the United States was too obvious.

	Was typing CSA and ran out of time. For the record, however, I do think that 1 minute is enough time.

	It's not the easiest quiz here. The easiest quiz here is the countries of Antarctica.

	I should have looked more closely at the years. It would have taken me a lot less time to figure out CSA.

	i'm such a yankee- completely forgot the confederacy. duh! also didn't know about the texas republic. you learn something new every day!

	Jeremy:	Nov 6th, 2008 at 21:58 GMT	5 points
	Nice. An oldie but a goodie.

	Westley:	Nov 6th, 2008 at 22:00 GMT	2 points
	On most of the map quizzes, you only need to enter "USA" for the "United Stated," so some people may have skipped it when "USA" didn't work.

	"Texas Our Texas, All hail the mighty state; Texas our Texas, so wonderful so great . . ." All those years of Texas history finally paid off!

	Leo, the Antarctica one... and the Rick Astley.

	HollywoodLeo:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 00:10 GMT	4 points
	USA worked fine for me

	HollywoodLeo:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 00:38 GMT	2 points
	Definitely the Rick Astley one as well. That one is super easy!

	macdancer:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 02:57 GMT	3 points
	Whoo! Texas Six Flags Over Texas taught me these!

	Fawkes:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 04:14 GMT	8 points
	For a Texan, this one's a walk in the park. I could see how others might have trouble, though.

	mgriffinv:	Nov 19th, 2008 at 13:10 GMT	3 points
	I really like how, for those among us who are super freaky and read way too much, there is a "secret" seventh pop-down answer. You can't leave it until last though, because since it's not one of the core answers the test will finish is the do the core six first. Tricky Sporcle.

	3 years ago I would have failed, but going to college in Texas really helps, and yes, they even teach this at the college level.

	Actually, there should be another hidden flag: that of the Tejano Republic of 1813. It is a solid green flag. If we have the Republic of the Rio Grande hidden, we should also have the Tejano Republic hidden.

	As a note, if anybody is every visiting London, there is a "Republic of Texas Embassy" restaurant that is about 2 blocks from the old Texas Embassy (near the national gallery). It is a really cool place with really great food. You can also find a plaque at the old embassy sight about Texas.

	I'm sure that USA isn't 100% because some people closed their browser before finishing.

	millandas:	Mar 12th, 2009 at 19:33 GMT	-3 points
	8 seconds! Bring on the negatives!

	fussballgott:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 01:26 GMT	-2 points
	lol 6 seconds

	mjenks:	Apr 10th, 2009 at 19:54 GMT	3 points
	So, entering "Confederate States of America" is not recognized, but putting in "Confederacy" is. That makes so much sense.

	Just in case anyone doesn't already know, this is where the Six Flags amusement parks take their name from. Six Flags Over Texas is the original.

	I only missed the Confederate States, which required some out of the box thinking. But the 1861-1865 should have been a really big obvious clue for me

	omnipotent1:	Aug 10th, 2009 at 01:31 GMT	3 points
	With the exception of Mexico and the USA, I had to pretty much make educated guesses on this one. I kind of figured Spain would be one of them since Spain controlled all of the land first and Mexico ceded from them. France was just a lucky guess since I know France owned some of the land in what is the USA today. And Texas Republic was one of those 'What the hell..' kind of guesses. Man, I love history!

	Maybe we could make this a "name that flag" quiz like Flags of Europe, etc. Of course, we should use the official contemporary flags of the CSA (more than one), France (fleurs-de-lys, not tricolor), Mexico, etc., to make it more of a sporting proposition, though not every set of stars in the U.S. flag.

	dachrawlings:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 19:41 GMT	1 point
	There actually are a lot more than 6 flags (or 7). The Fredonian Republic was established briefly in Nacogdoches. I'm sure there were other shortlived efforts to nationalize the frontier.
