	The difficult thing about making the Chinese Empires quiz is the vastly different notion of territory in East Asian history compared to European standards. For example, countries like Thailand and Nepal were considered vassals of the Qing dynasty at certain times, but what of Thailand's own vassals? If Cambodia is a vassal of Thailand at a time when Thailand is a vassal of China, does that indirectly make Cambodia a vassal of China, too?

	I've also updated the quiz to reflect some of China's current land disputes as bonuses, particularly on the resource-rich islets and atolls of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. I've reflected Chinese claims on land that is effectively controlled by states other than China, but not land that is controlled by China and claimed by someone else (for example, Aksai Chin claimed by India).

	@tbwilson No, I think it means hey directly controlled the areas of modern-day countries with their modern-day boundaries.

	Sinkiang (Xinjiang) is considered by some to be Eastern Turkestan, yet Turkmenistan is the one former SSR in Central Asia that is not on this list.

	that frustrating moment when you guess 5 bonus answers in row...............

	@shakescene: Xinjiang and Turkmenistan are two separate regions and are not geographically linked by any common border. The reference to "Turkestan" is related to the Turkic language family, which includes the Uighur language of Xinjiang in addition to Turkmen, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Azerbaijani, and Turkish spoken in Turkey. As far as I am aware, no part of modern Turkmenistan has ever been conquered or vassalized by a Chinese government. Turkmenistan was in the Persian sphere of influence rather than Chinese.

	I love how more people got India than China

	I think less time would be good, and judging from the fact that the least-guessed is still 50% the stats would seem to agree. Especially since the countries all branch out from China.

	Feeling downright sad for the 5% that couldn't get China.

	Piou:	Mar 28th, 2013 at 15:32 GMT		2 points
	it's easier for China than for European Empires. Just have to type the bordering (or almost bordering)countries and that's good. No oversea territories
