	Shouldn't the Republic of Texas 1836-1845 and the CSA 1861-1865 be on here?

	If you're going to include Scotland here why not Castile/Aragon since both crowns were only formally merged in 1716...and what about the California Republic (which technically existed for 26 days).

	And Vermont, if you're going to include California. But seriously: Zheng He's colonies? Do you have a source for that which isn't Gavin Menzies?

	Agree with most of the above - I think the most important thing is to either pick only modern-day countries (in which case no Scotland or England), or only countries at the time (in which case including e.g. Texas)

	I would argue that by including "Zheng He's colonies", your submission runs the risk of being seen as a piece of propagnda more than a historically informative quiz. The MOST that should be done is to put China as a bonus answer. Type it as "China (Zheng He's colonies)/China" and it will provide the "information" that you want to include.

	I don't want to disappoint you but I already created a quiz like this only the countries that controlled exact states. Also Canada didn't become a country until 1867 and the claims realting to North Dakota where handle in 1819.
