	West Bank and Gaza Strip are not generally considered to be countries. Your definition of the Middle East is also questionable, as the states of the Caucasus are rarely included.

	In yosi182's defense, I would note that the source (CIA Factbook) includes all those nations, but HiddenPalace is still right. Perhaps those 5 countries/territories could be changed to bonuses.

	Either remove the West Bank and the Gaza strip, or group them under one answer; Palestine. Also, you missed Egypt, and while the Caucasus states may be geographically in the Middle East, they have no historical ties to the region, and shouldn't be in this quiz.

	I'm not sure about Azerbaijan, Georgia & Armenia, although I could see it. I have also seen Egypt included, along with Afghanistan & Pakistan. As for West Bank & Gaza, they are not recognized as countries...I suppose you may as well toss in Golan Heights & Palestine.

	The Middle East is a POLITICAL category, not a geographic one; ergo, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan do not apply.

	I agree with YaleBird and HiddenPalace (and anyone else who agrees with them). Gaza Strip and West Bank are not countries, so why are they here? And I personally wouldn't consider that Caucasian countries to be part of the Middle East.
