Anyone who complains about the inclusion, or not, of countries such as Cyprus & Russia, please note they are consistently treated this way on all JetPunk quizzes. My personal inclination is Russia, by rights, really ought to be considered an Asian country even if its major urban political centers are primarily European, since the vast majority of its landmass is in Asia. It's a bit of an amphibian. What JetPunk *really* needs is a "Name the countries of Eurasia" quiz!

The gray are within Israel are the Palestinian Territories. They are a country of West Asia. However, most other countries don’t include the Palestinian Territories as a country due to… controversial reasons.

both votes represent politics and not reality. In the first case, countries that do not recognize the Republic of China's very real sovereignty over the island of Taiwan are only expressing their desire to do business with the People's Republic of China and its massive economy. In the latter case, countries that recognize Palestine's non-existent sovereignty are only making the political statement that they are against what they wrongly perceive as colonialism, or that they hate Jews and/or believe Islam to be the one true faith, or that they are not fond of the United States, or that they are sympathetic toward the Palestinian people's suffering. Nobody who knows what they're talking about actually believes that the PNA rules over a sovereign territory.
+2
Level 69
Nov 13, 2015
So anyone who recognizes Palestine is anti-Semitic , stupid, or just doesn't know anything?
+1
Level ∞
Nov 13, 2015
There's no way to make this quiz that would satisfy everyone. But our position is that being a country requires sovereign control of territory, and that international recognition is of lesser importance. The UN could vote that 2+2=5 but it wouldn't make it so.
+1
Level 48
Jul 25, 2017
Can't we just agree that it is hard to decide on a definitive list, and that it is matter of politics and not hard facts, and stop getting angry?

Level 83
Nov 30, 2017
fromaj: those are three possibilities but if you read what I wrote I also said they could be misled, or have accepted a false narrative, or be believing Muslims, or have a bone to pick with the United States, or be sympathetic toward the suffering of the Palestinians. You could hate the USA and not be anti-Semitic. You could be sympathetic toward the Palestinians and not be stupid. You could be a Muslim who believes that the land is yours by divine providence and still know some things. There are a range of reasons why different countries and people wish to recognize Palestine as a country but none of those reasons are that the PNA actually exerts full sovereign control over a functioning and contiguous nation state.

Just a few things I would like to say: What was called Asia during the Antiquity is in fact the western part of Anatolia (i.e. Asian Turkey). It is rather strange that is has been extended to the entire continent, as far as Japan. It is also laughable that some now think that Middle East is NOT in Asia... As for Cyprus, then, since it is due south and close to Turkey, it is indeed in Asia.

The case of Russia is a bit different. I have always considered Siberia as a colony, Russia can still be considered as an Empire. Just think about the British Empire during the 19th century... the UK was indeed a European country, though it had colonies on every continent. The only difference is that Russia is contiguous, and that they kept Siberia because, well, it's not very populated, not very attractive, nobody seriously tried to conquer it, and there were never any serious separatists.

Quizmaster, why not avoid all the complaining and simpy include Russia and Cyprus in both Europe and Asia map quizzes? There's no rule saying the same country can't be in more than one quiz! Either way, it makes no sense to omit Russia when it comprises so much of the Asian continent.

Good night, good morning, good evening to everybody in the comments seeing the drama of continental borders. This quiz follows what JetPunk says about the continental borders. Meaning that countries like Egypt, Greece and Russia are not considered transcontinental, as well as Turkey, Indonesia and Yemen, that's why all of the country pops up in green. Countries that have territories aren't included in this quiz, being the UK and Australia. Hong Kong and Macau are part of China unlike Taiwan. And, lastly, Palestine, Artsakh, South Ossetia and Abkhazia aren't in the quiz.

Why does Jetpunk allow misspellings of contries like “Isreal”? Shouldn’t people be learing to spell their names right?

There are spelling quizzes on the site if you're interested in taking those, but most quizzes are seeking to test knowledge, not spelling.

not counting Russia... count it. It's just one answer more. I can type it easily. When we were kids and someone showed us a globe, the first thing we see on the Asian continent is the biggest country in the world. (of course it was USSR when I was a kid). So it overlaps two continents. Big deal.

This map quiz is controversial. Firstly, caucasus (including turkey) is a part of europe, Second, russia is an asian country, and also, cyprus is 100% an european country. Please fix this, it will prevent many arguments.

It's fun that in this one quiz alone, there are six acronym type-ins. Additionally, Myanmar can be shortened to Burma and there are four four-letter countries in this one continent. It's a speed-typer's paradise!

PRC - China

ROC - Taiwan

DPRK - North Korea

ROK - South Korea

KSA - Saudi Arabia

UAE - United Arab Emirates
