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.
