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!

Level 90

Nov 13, 2015

And then we'd only have to listen to arguments about Egypt.

Level 23

Dec 28, 2015

mkay, how about a Countries Of Eurasia And Africa

Level 35

Don't forget East Timor and Papua New Guinea!

Level 20

Apr 29, 2023

papua ne guinea's in Oceania

Level 74

Jul 20, 2017

Palestine is recognized by more states than Kosovo. I guess we can throw that in there too?

Level 39

Apr 8, 2023

im pretty sure its quizmasters recognition other than the UN’s, people dont usually base their international recognition on countries because of the UN, even though it doesnt do anything to recognize that country by the UN.

Level 37

Jun 28, 2021

i agree

Level 14

Jun 17, 2015

Missed North and South Korea.

Level 24

Jul 9, 2015

couldn't spell Kyrgyzstan for the life of me

Level 64

Jul 31, 2015

TYPE-INS: r:^KYRG[A-Z]+STAN

Typing in Kyrgabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzstan would even work!

Level 23

Dec 29, 2015

For Kyrgystan, I did Kirgistan, just to see, and it worked!!

Level 20

Apr 29, 2023

I think you have auto correct

Level 65

Mar 20, 2016

So did I. Much faster to type it!

Level 33

Jul 27, 2017

I think that 'Kyrgyzstan' is a way to write it also

Level 24

Nov 22, 2017

same

Level 70

Jul 11, 2015

Where did Russia go?

Level 64

Jul 31, 2015

To the top of the Mercator map, taking up over 17 million km of space.

Level 65

Aug 17, 2017

Do you think if the Soviet Union was still around today, would it be an Asian or European country?

Level 40

Sep 7, 2015

There should be a map. It would really help us out.

Level 65

Sep 14, 2015

I'm going to add to the already loads of comments on the same subject and also ask for a map to be added!

Level ∞

Sep 21, 2015

Map added!

Level 64

Oct 1, 2015

Are you going to make a complete Asia Map Quiz then?

Level 64

Nov 8, 2015

I'll take that as a 'yes'. :)

Level 66

Oct 14, 2015

Done with 04:20 left!

Level 81

Jun 22, 2017

Done with 53 seconds left, but I type slow.

Level 73

Jan 31, 2018

That's incredible. 3:45 for me. How many WPM do you type?

Level 71

Nov 13, 2015

Man, that little yellow patch next to Israel threw me! I kept trying to figure out what other name Palestine went by that started with "B" that was keeping me from winning. That would be Brunai, and nowhere near that yellow dot.

Level 48

Jul 25, 2017

Me too!

Fortunately I abandoned attempts to work out with a few seconds remaining and put Brunei in

Level 74

Nov 13, 2015

Why is there a grey area in Israel. To which continent does that belong?

Level ∞

Nov 13, 2015

Same reason there is gray area over part of Kashmir. It's a disputed region. But why am I answering rhetorical questions?

Level 21

Sep 17, 2023

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.

Level 66

Nov 13, 2015

Is it supposed to give you the answer when you mouse over the country on the map?

Level 71

Nov 13, 2015

Palestine?

Level 69

Nov 13, 2015

Taiwan (21 UN members) but no Palestine (136 UN members) .

Level 83

Nov 13, 2015

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.

Level 69

Nov 13, 2015

So anyone who recognizes Palestine is anti-Semitic , stupid, or just doesn't know anything?

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.

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.

Level 69

Nov 13, 2015

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Level 15

Dec 14, 2017

Show me Palestines border tho. This is a geography quiz not a political quiz

Level 44

Nov 13, 2015

34/48, 71% and I get 0/5 points ? Thanks Jetpunk !

Level 75

Dec 11, 2016

It's because people who play this get better scores than you.

Level 85

Nov 13, 2015

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.

Completed with 3:30 left on the board! BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Level 32

Nov 13, 2015

100% with 2:12 left on first try....People, stop complaining and just go read, ok?? the only one im not 100% sure is an asian country is Cyprus, but only cause its "relatively" new in the EU. The rest, I completely agree. Russia is Europe.

Level 41

Nov 13, 2015

So Turkey is part of Asia but Russia is part of Europe? What?

Level 65

Mar 20, 2016

Istanbul is really the only part of Turkey in Europe.

Level 65

Nov 13, 2015

100% in 2:30...also, when you zoom in on United Arab Emirates, you still can't see either of the Palms.

Level 68

Nov 13, 2015

3:43 left. Curious Russia was left out, but, eh, doesn't matter.

Level 77

Nov 13, 2015

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.

Level 56

Nov 13, 2015

Preach!

Level 28

Nov 16, 2015

I never took this quiz and this is my second attempt? Maybe you need to reset the stats since adding the map.

Level 67

Nov 19, 2015

Why is South Africa not on this quiz???!

Level 56

Sep 30, 2016

you were joking right?

Level 37

Oct 28, 2016

Why on earth would you put South Africa on a map of ASIA?

By that way of convoluted thinking, ALL of Africa should be in Asia, as it borders the Indian Ocean.

Level 48

Sep 21, 2023

Almost 7 years later, I’ve come to answer your question. It is in fact, a joke.

Level 17

Dec 15, 2015

I forgotten East Timor I got the same like stringsrule 47/48 but luckily I did another go and got on level 20 now instead of 19

Level 38

Jan 20, 2016

Cyprus is in Europe that's why i always forget it on this quiz

Level 14

Jan 26, 2016

I miss brunei...

Level 14

Jan 26, 2016

I miss Brunei...

Level 40

Jan 28, 2016

Is there a specific reason not adding green to Palestine? Is Palestine outside Asia?

Level 65

Mar 20, 2016

Jetpunk doesn't consider Palestine a country.

Level 31

Sep 28, 2018

well that Jetpunk is WRONG

Level 16

Feb 12, 2016

nice!! 1:08 𒍖

Level 17

Mar 3, 2016

I minorly see why you got rid of Russia but it's ASIA!

Level 20

May 8, 2016

Please reconsider adding Russia

Level 71

Oct 28, 2016

I see Putin has stated that Russia is Eurasian, neither belonging totally in the West or the East.

Level 37

Feb 12, 2019

^That makes more sense than a lot of the arguments putting it in one or the other; it belongs in both, so Eurasian would be an appropriate term.

Level 36

May 30, 2016

I said Cambodia but it didn't count so I lost :(

Level 43

Jul 19, 2016

first try = 3:36

Singapore is way to small :(

Jan 1, 2017

add palenstine and remove taiwan

Mar 20, 2017

That would be incorrect.

Level 83

Nov 30, 2017

Give up your bias and accept reality.

Level 47

Sep 21, 2022

I don't like you Israel pens Palestine I don't get these people who think Palestine is a real thing

Level 31

Jan 18, 2017

keep missing kyrygyzstan because of its spelling

Level 77

Jul 12, 2017

I named all the countries in the world with this amount of time. Honestly, I think it is a bit long.

Level 71

Jul 26, 2017

Think this is tricky? try http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/120558/double-trouble-countries

Level 22

Oct 22, 2017

I'm not trying to make any political statements, but Taiwan is not officially a sovereign nation and I don't think it should be included in the jetpunk quizzes.

Level 83

Nov 30, 2017

"Officially?" Who officiates such things? JetPunk goes by what's true not what's "official."

Level 36

Nov 16, 2017

Caucasus shouldn't be here, it's included to Europe now..

Level 9

Nov 22, 2017

I have been doing all the countries of the world separately. My parents told me that if I could memorize all the countries of the world they would give me $78 : ) I have finished Europe, Oceania and now Asia.

@OnniR Greenland is also part of Europe.

Level 37

Politically Greenland is part of Denmark. Geographically it is in North America.

Level 37

Jan 17, 2019

easiest quiz

Level 33

Feb 1, 2019

I think Russia should be in this quiz, also, feel bad for the 1% who didn't guess China

Level 71

Nov 21, 2019

I agree regarding Russia, but sometimes the biggest, most obvious answers are the toughest. I can totally see getting Maldives, but forgetting China or Japan. I usually try to get the tough part of the quiz first. Just saying

Level 64

Feb 5, 2019

After taking this quiz again due to the update, got them all again with 2:30 remaining at 6:49:38 PM on February 5, 2019.

Level 48

Mar 25, 2019

Almost forgot Singapore. The little countries should have dots on the map big enough to see.

Level 51

Apr 2, 2019

What about Palestine? That should be on this quiz.

Level 47

Jun 19, 2019

Almost missed Bahrain and East Timor XD

Level 36

Sep 26, 2019

100% first try! YAY

Level 78

Dec 29, 2019

Nearly missed Singapore, I mean it is hardly visible in the map.

Level 43

Jun 4, 2020

As a rule I type in Singapore and Brunei at the same time as Malaysia so I don't forget them (I do the same with Italy and Monaco, San Marino, the Vatican and Malta)

Level 48

Dec 29, 2019

got 100% on my fourth try! not amazing but still happy!

Level 69

Mar 24, 2020

I almost missed Lebanon...

Level 22

Tbh i'm surprised taiwan is separate

Level 37

Apr 24, 2020

I choked on Singapore but I still got 100%

Level 37

May 21, 2020

I had 3:15 left on the clock, the only thing i choked on was the backspace button. It just never removes a word... Most of the times it works.

Level 46

Jun 6, 2020

jetpunking throughout lockdown has taught me well ... full marks

Level 28

Jun 9, 2020

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.

Level 25

Jun 13, 2020

Level 61

Jun 13, 2020

How do you make those maps, It has been so hard for me to make the map

Level 88

Jun 14, 2020

It's a bit complicated. You need to know how to use SVG.

Level 55

Jun 27, 2020

Read the JetPunk SVG Guide ;)

Finally got them, 2.14 left!

Level 23

Oct 27, 2020

doesnt matter how old u are i could have gotten them within two minutes when i was three

Level 62

Nov 19, 2020

I could of gotten them and not bragged about it.

Level 53

Nov 25, 2020

I think that you should not include Cyprus in this quiz, and include Russia.

Level 56

May 15, 2022

I think that you should be quiet

Level 38

Dec 2, 2020

i got all countries, with 1:43 left over

Level 38

Dec 2, 2020

why is at least half of Russia not included in this?

Level 44

Dec 21, 2020

Great quiz! I always forget Brunei and East Timor

Level 21

Mar 13, 2021

Brunei... The country that i always forget about!

Level 60

Mar 17, 2021

Hey Quizmaster,

Could there be an Asia 2 map as a JetPunk SVG?

Like the South America 2 map, this one will have the Palestinian Territories as an available answer.

I was just thinking of it and I thought I would ask.

Level 54

Apr 1, 2021

You can edit the map really quickly in Inkscape.

Level 41

Apr 5, 2021

Please accept ''NK'' for North Korea and ''SK'' for South Korea

Isn't Russia in Asia?

No it's in Europe

I live in Asia India

Cyprus in not in Asia it is in Europe

Level 62

May 3, 2021

Big deal.

Level 44

May 2, 2021

Cyprus is split in half. The South region of Cyprus is part of the Greek Colony while the North region or as the Turks refer to it, The Turks Republic of Cyprus, is, as made obvious by it's name, a Turkish colony.

Level 62

Dec 4, 2022

The Turk half is not international recognized, so it doesn't count

Level 43

May 9, 2021

2:56 remaining

Level 46

maybe include russia as a greyed out answer

Level 38

Aug 27, 2021

And who was the 1% who missed China?

Level 22

Sep 4, 2021

2:51 mins on left... this was pretty easy. - American

Level 58

Sep 13, 2021

100% Finally! Instead of studying for my Environmental Science test, I learned the countries of Asia. I call that a good use of time.

Level 47

Sep 14, 2021

Palestine should be added. It has almost 10 times the recognition of Taiwan in the UN so by logic I think Palestine should be in the quiz.

Level 38

Oct 24, 2021

except palestine has no working government and their territory is mostly controlled by Israel. they don't function like a country and most services are payed by Israelites. however taiwan is completely independent of china and has its own government and china would have to invase taiwan in order to control it

Level 55

Oct 12, 2021

I think you should make Timor Leste more noticeable.

Level 38

Oct 24, 2021

cant we just base ourselves where the capital city is and done. Moscow is in Europe so russia is europe. Nicosia is in asia (All of cyprus is anyway) so its Asian, same goes for Ankara, Baku, Nur sultan, yerevan and tbilisi. all asian

??????????????

Apr 8, 2022

welcome to the site.

Level 65

Apr 16, 2022

Culturally it's european (mainly greek). Geographically however it's much closer from Asia (Anatolia), and I guess it would match if looking at underwater geography

Level 65

Apr 16, 2022

That description sounds like Russia got kicked from Asia due to recent events

Level 47

Add Russia. Russia stretches from Europe to Asia.

Level 47

Sep 21, 2022

No it's in Europe

Level 21

Oct 28, 2022

Russia is a transcontinental country so its really both Europe and Asia

Level 26

Nov 8, 2022

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

Level 83

Dec 3, 2022

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

Level 75

Dec 2, 2022

What a slight to the Asian portion of Russia.

Level 65

Dec 3, 2022

Cyprus was never, and will never be Asian.

Level 83

secret Asian land... secret Asian land..

Level 62

Dec 4, 2022

"Never" is a strong word...this quiz alone proves you wrong, sooooo

Level 50

Dec 3, 2022

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.

Level 28

Jan 11, 2023

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!
