	I made this quiz in light of the recent exciting news from the region. It's great to see the change in the Arab World, especially since the movements are people-driven and without much external interference as the Middle East experienced in the past. This quiz is relevant in these times when any of these countries could rise up next in the struggle for freedom. Chad, Eritrea and Iran have been included because although they are not Arab states, they are likely to experience the ripple effects of these protests due to their political, geographic and religious similarities with the Arab nations.

	Somalia and Djibouti aren't Arab states either though, they're both predominately Somali. They're fine to include, but you should give them the same two astericks you gave Iran and Chad. Eritrea is not part of the Arab world at all though, don't know why you have it here.

	@Spelvout: totally! But I'm going to keep it updated. @ Zephos: I was surprised by this too but Somalia and Djibouti are Arab League states. Their population is racially African, ethnically Somali, and speak Somali, but they are so culturally tied to the Arab world and have so many Arabic speakers I guess thats why they are counted as Arab League. Eritrea is predominantly Muslim, in the neighborhood, has Arabic influence, and is one of the countries that may be awoken by the Egypt/Tunis happenings, so it gets on the list.
