	Glad I wasn't the only one who forgot Russia! Way too much time; I had enough to type all the countries.

	I had 14 of 15 Soviet Republics for about 3 or 4 minutes, then finally smacked my forehead and said "Duh, Russia!" I too am glad to see I wasn't the only one. I saw unification in 1990 and immediately assumed it was Germany. Is there some reason that Germany isn't included in the quiz. I can only imagine it was because two nations became one, which must not have been the case with Yemen? That was the only one I missed, probably never would have guessed it.

	If Yemen is listed under unification, should Germany being there too, as it was reunified in 1990?

	Am I missing Germany?

	Patteroast:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 11:18 GMT	2 points
	Ditto on Germany.

	Officially, the nation now known as Germany is the same country that was formerly known as West Germany. The simply annexed the area known as East Germany. Wikipedia can probably explain that better.

	Added Germany under the category of Reunification/Annexation.

	Good compromise.

	Great quiz.

	Great quiz thanks!

	This quiz is awesome, I had no idea South Africa controlled Namibia as late as 1990.

	sharon:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 16:24 GMT	2 points
	A very good, very informative quiz. Should the red be toned down a little?

	okenter:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 17:55 GMT	-1 points
	@sharon: That's Canadian pride right there!

	The word 'Micronesia' refers to a geographical region comprising of various nations and territories, including Kiribati, Palau and the Marshall Islands as well as the Federated States. Therefore, whilst I think its ok to accept 'Micronesia' as an acceptable way to answer the quiz, I dislike how it's displayed as the actual answer in the 'Country' column. This superficially sounds more than a little pedantic, but its entirely analagous to referring to the USA as 'America'.

	Technically the fatherland of Germany is much much older, but I know the reunification and stuff

	What about democratic republic of congo and the central african republic? Weren't those originally zaire and the congo? Or is that just the same country with a different name?

	Onno:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 17:56 GMT	2 points
	Err, I don't think the CAR was ever called Zaire or Congo.

	FliryVorru:	Nov 24th, 2009 at 19:53 GMT	1 point
	Yeah, I just want to give a shout out to everyone like me who didn't think of Russia. Great quiz! Excellent concept and setup.

	The world just hasn't made enough new countries in the last 15 years. Some of those independence movements need to get cracking if you ask me or in 20 years time this will be a pretty dull quiz. great right now though. :)

	Canada as bonus answer?

	HiddenPalace:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 15:46 GMT	1 point
	Nice quiz.

	@ rottenmonk: I don't think renaming should count. @ originalduncstar: Micronesia is a country! Excellent quiz. Very informative and interesting. :D

	Please change the colours to something less irritating, this is just horrible to watch :(

	nthe:	May 14th, 2012 at 12:54 GMT	1 point
	Either add South Sudan or change the question to "between 1980 and 2010".
