	Thanks to zeppelinoid for the format and source.

	You seem to have forgotten that Japan also happened to control Japan ;).

	You should also be able to accept Timor-Leste for East Timor, since that is its actual name.

	Being a bit nitpicky here but maybe put the countries into some sort of order such as when they were acquired. I would also have to agree with nyo's comment.

	Nice quiz, thank you for making it! I must agree with those who suggest adding Japan, though.

	"Christmas" is misspelled, and I'll pile on with the Japan suggestion.

	kennyb:	Jun 6th, 2011 at 06:49 GMT		3 points
	Thanks, all. I believe I fixed it relative to all comments.

	Nicely made quiz, except that I would put Burma as Myanmar, and make Burma acceptable, since all the others are modern names. Are you going to finish off the explanations?

	kennyb:	Jun 12th, 2011 at 02:25 GMT		0 points
	@climber_v12: I think that the sporcle standard is Burma, with acceptance of Myanmar, isn't it? I could be wrong. The United Nations uses Myanmar, defaulting to the nomenclature wishes of the country's rulers, but the United States and the United Kingdom do not recognize the junta and thus still call the country Burma. As for explanations, they are pretty self-explanatory. I could expand on Indonesia, I suppose, as different parts were invaded and occupied in slightly different years, but it would only be a year difference, so I didn't bother.

	What about Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands? They should be included under the United States (to be consistent with your categorization of Christmas Island for Australia), or separate as bonuses (which is what the zeppelinoid quizzes do for non-federated territories).

	@tbwilson: Yes, good point. Thank you. And also Wake Island. Corrections made, including the re-ordering of the answers (I learned something, too, discvering that the Northern Marianas were under Japanese control from 1919!). I like to include territories as regular answers. I think it makes it more interesting, although here, the US was already a full answer, of course.
