	You misspelled Tunisia.

	Ahh, that's why I couldn't get Tunisia to work. How did you get it to come up, andr? LOL

	@Andr5036: Consider yourself promoted to Andr2734! Thanks. Fixed.

	I don't see the point of ending the quiz with a wrong guess. I mean, forgive me for not recalling that there is some black shading on the otherwise wholly red and white flag of Thailand.

	@Floydpink: There's also that biiiig wide horizontal blue stripe thru the middle of the Thai flag... But otherwise, the purpose of ending the game is to stop random guessing of countries. There are actually a significant number of Sporclers who can run the board on Countries of the World in the allotted time, especially since nearly every African country includes green on their flags, so "mining" the list with specific criteria (only red, white & blue flags) makes it any kind of a challenge.

	peru?

	rockgolf:	Jun 30th, 2011 at 19:27 GMT		1 point
	@deco: Close. The "civil ensign" looks like the Canadian flag without the maple leaf, but the "national flag" has a multi-colored shield with a green wreath around most of it.

	Just in time for Canada Day, eh?

	If Peru is omitted, Poland should've been as well. Or both should be in, whichever you prefer. Poland also has two different flags for different uses (one with, the other without the coat of arms in the white field).

	Wouldn't Hong Kong qualify as a quasi-nation too?

	rockgolf:	Jul 1st, 2011 at 00:06 GMT		1 point
	@Newtoni: Not any longer. It is now universally recognized as part of the People's Republic of China.

	@Khazar: Poland's national flag is just white over red. The Civil Ensign/State Flag is the one with the coat of arms. I specify "National Flag" in the question.

	The usage of these flags is what complicates matters. As a sports fan, I've seen that the Peruvian civil ensign is far more prominent than the actual national flag. And on the other hand, I know I've seen the "other" Polish flag on several athletics competitions. But it's "national" flags we're talking about, and you're right.

	@rockgolf: But England is also universally recognized as a part of the United Kingdom, and Greenland of Denmark. In many ways Hong Kong is more autonomous than either, and is indeed in your source.

	Why bother including "quasi-nations" when there's no set definition for what constitutes a quasi-nation?

	hazzapee:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 00:30 GMT		1 point
	And why bother accepting the state, it's nothing like a country, and generally few outside of the US know the flags of states.

	kheruvim:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 09:29 GMT		2 points
	I'd say Hong Kong should very much be included if you include the English flag. As Newtoni says, HK is far more autonomous than England: own currency, press freedom, immigration, legal and justice system, etc. etc.. Calling Hong Kong "China" is about as misleading as calling Scotland "England". Personally, and given that particular issue, I think you could make the others bonus answers and just make this a 16 out 16 and bring the time down.

	Woo, Greenland!

	Kind of always thought Qatar and Latvia's were brown.
