"Not universally recognized as an independent nation" is not an adequate note for the territory it's referring to (the one with 3 golds and no other medals). I would either just have it auto-filled to start the quiz or change the note to: "One entity is a former overseas territory that has since been absorbed into another country."
Also, not allowing USSR as a type-in for the Soviet Union is egregious.
Interesting, yeah I will look into a better way to handle that answer. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen another quiz that even mentions that particular territory, so wasn't sure how to approach
EDIT: I added a caveat to clarify it's an administrative division of a country and not its own sovereign nation, hopefully that will clear some of the confusion while not being so specific as to give away the answer!
Changed the type-ins so that USSR should work now for the Soviet Union.
good quiz
