| @sportsguyluke: There are no problems with the article in Wikipedia! See this selection from the article used:
"This is a list of the sovereign states and dependent territories of the world, sorted by total area, including all entities on the ISO standard ISO 3166-1.
For statistical purposes, dependent territories are listed separately from their sovereign states and are set off in italics. The figures represent total areas, covering land and inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers). Some entries may also include marine internal waters (coastal waters). Territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zones are not included."
It makes it quite clear what it is reporting and the article itemizes the sovereign states to which dependent territories belong. It also does not use abbreviations like "Dem. Rep. of the Congo" The problems here are entirely with the quiz maker. |
