According to Wikipedia, the most up-to-date name is "Republic of the Union of Myanmar", which was changed from the "Union of Myanmar". Naypyidaw has always been its capital since November 6, 2005. Also according to Wikipedia, the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka moved its capital from Colombo to Sri Jayewardenepura-Kotte on April 29, 1982. Hopefully that cleared everything up for everyone as it did for me. Although, the name should be changed from Burma to Myanmar.

It's not true that Burma and Myanmar are pronounced the same. I've been there in 2014 and many natives prefer the name of Myanmar (and pronounce it just the way we do), because the Burmese are only one of the tribes/people that live in Myanmar.

So... if there is a bridge over the canal, is it connected again?

Same goes for the americas, they are connected, but the Panama Canal divides them...

And does the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal (outside of Germany also known as Kiel-Canal) make the most northern part of Germany and the non-island-part of Denmark into an island?

I'm sure there are more examples, isn't there a canal through Scotland? (but Great Britain already is an island anyways...)

Maybe we should correct the continent-count and declare the new supercontinent of Eurasfrica...

Yerevan and Ankara are in Asia, so Armenia and Turkey are out.

Baku IS actually in Europe, so Azerbaijan should be in the Europe capitals quiz (since these quizzes are about capitals, not about the country itself).

As for Cyprus, it is an island, so we measure by the closest landmass, which is Turkey. Since we already decided that Turkey is in Asia, Cyprus is in Asia too.

Azerbaijan and Georgia are all trans-continental Eurasian countries, so they do belong in Europe, but they belong in Asia as well. Cyprus is an island that is closest to the Arabian Peninsula, which is in the Middle East, which is in Asia, therefore, Cyprus is Asian. Armenia doesn't even touch the Europe-Asia border like it's previously mentioned neighbors to the north, and it's in Asia, therefore, Armenia is also Asian.

the causacus countries are not Europe.

Jerusalem has always been the official capital of Israel, but most other countries recognize Tel Aviv as the capital and have embassies there because they don't want to upset Muslims. This has particularly been true since 1967 when Israel annexed East Jerusalem, which had previously been annexed by Jordan.

Many countries are waiting to see what happens with a two state solution so they're keeping embassies in Tel Aviv, but Jerusalem will still be Israel's capital even if there are two states so it seems odd to have embassies there confusing people!

Azerbaijan and Georgia are transcontinental, that means they have area on two continents: Europe and Asia. They still have more area and population in Asia so they're considered Asian countries. The same goes for Turkey.

Cyprus and Armenia don't have any territory in Europe, geographically they're completely in Asia. They're just in the same economic region as Europe along with Azerbaijan and Georgia.

I'd call it Burma, not Myanmar because the language and script the language uses. The people are called Burmese. Myanmar is just what the military government that wants you to call it.

Exactly! Despite Russia having the majority of it's territory in Asia, the majority of said territory is uninhabitable, so by that logic, Russia is European because the majority of it's population lies in the more inhabitable European territory.

Cyprus is in the EU because it is in the same economical region but for islands and figuring out their continents we measure by closest land mass which is turkey, although turkey is partially in Europe most of it's area and population are in Asia as well as it's capital so Cyprus would be considered Asian though sometimes included in European quizzes.

EU is an economic group, it has nothing to do with the geographical boundaries of a country. (And, neither does the Eurosongfestival!)

EU, formally known as EEC I wonder if it was stilled called EEC people would be coming with the same argument. Maybe the u throws them of and subconsciously think it equates to Europe.

Okay, I have a question. I have seen the capital of Oman (Mascat) spelt three different ways. I've seen it spelt Muscat, Mascat, and Masqat. I know Masqat is probably the Arabic-English translation of it, but I don't know if any other nations spell it differently. Is Muscat the correct spelling of it, or are all of them correct answers?

The correct spelling is مسقط. The other you list are all transliterations using English/Roman letters, and there's not necessarily one that is more correct than the others, though Muscat is the most common spelling as far as I know.

My right hand is a mess from carpal tunnel anyway..too numb to type. No one knows I can't type, unless I come here to play the speed typing tests disguised as Name the Countries and Name the Capitals--and they just make me feel dumb--no one else is looking.

Accepting Bandar for Bandar Seri Begawan is like accepting 'City' for 'Kuwait City', since it is just the Malay word for city (or perhaps it is more closely equivalent to accepting 'Ciudad' for Mexico City). I feel like if all you know is Bandar, you can't really claim to know the capital of Brunei.

Jetpunk says Asia. But the boundaries between Africa/Europe/Asia are effectively a social construct anyway. Turkey has more in common with Greece geographically than it does with Japan, Sri Lanka or Singapore. And Egypt has more in common with Jordan than it does with Madagascar. We have to put the boundaries somewhere and in cases like Cyprus, Georgia or Russia there are going to be complaints either way.

Cyprus is one of the great islands of the Mediterranean Sea (along with Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Crete), the most eastern of all, located between the southern coast of Anatolia and the Mediterranean coast of the Middle East. Geographically, it belongs to Asia, although culturally it is a mixture of European and Asian elements, with Europeans predominating, given its Greek past and the current two thirds of the population of Greek origin.

The delineation between Asia and Europe is fuzzy at best. For JetPunk purposes, Cyprus and Turkey are in Asia and Russia is in Europe.

There are quizzes that mention that Istanbul straddles both continents and that Siberia is Asian, but in general some arbitrary decisions need to be made for consistency, especially for continental vaguenesses. Heck, there are all sorts of debates over just the number and names of continents.

zoom in close on Google maps and you'll see two dots for capital cities right next to each other, though it's the same city not even 2 miles across both of them. Zoom out and the two dots merge in to one, and Kotte disappears so that all that remains is Colombo.

Colombo really should be accepted as the capital of Sri Lanka like Amsterdam being accepted as the capital of Netherlands instead of Den Haag and Kuala Lumpur being accepted as the capital of Malaysia instead of Putrajaya despite the fact that both Netherlands and Malaysia keeps most of their political branch in Den Haag and Putrajaya respectively. Besides, Colombo still has the PM's house and office, President's house and office, and the Supreme Court which gives a considerable legitimacy for Colombo to be called 'a' political capital of Sri Lanka out of their two capitals. Also, all my Sri Lankan friends (I live in India so I have a lot of them) says that Colombo is their capital because... it really is for them. (Plus, Kotte is in the metro area of Colombo so it really makes Kotte seem much more insignificant than Colombo for them) It's not important what the government is saying: do you type Czechia or Czech Republic? Czech government want us to call them Czechia but who does?

I think Jetpunk should add Tel Aviv as an option (or type-in) for the capital of Israel, so that it for example says Tel Aviv/Jerusalem. The vast majority of countries recognize Tel Aviv as the capital, not Jerusalem, so I think that should by all means at least be an option.

A country can't decide the capital of another country. Israel says that their capital is Jerusalem, so all the other countries should respect that. For example Belgium can't just randomly decide that DC shouldn't be the capital of USA and that they should change it to New York.

1) Maps shows a dotted line.

2) See Wikipedia. "Palestine (Arabic: فلسطين, romanized: Filasṭīn), officially the State of Palestine[a] (Arabic: دولة فلسطين, romanized: Dawlat Filasṭīn) is a de jure sovereign state," although I do see your point.

3) Read Jetpunk standards, and read about the Big 5. You'll realize 3 out the 5 don't recognize Palestine.

Wow, this took me soooo long to memorize. This was way harder than the flags.

Its funny cause both memorizing the names of the Stans and its capitals, were really tough for me to learn them, yet once you learn them, they're super easy to remember. While some of these others, even easy ones I space exactly. Surprisingly the Middle East was pretty easy, once got a hang of it, a lot of easy words to spell.

I now know every country in world, and for flags and capitals know them all except Africa. I'm gonna take the world quiz without knowing it, just like I did the flags, and see if I can get everything.
