Palestine isn't a country, its a territory. its like saying Puerto Rico is a country

Level 51

Feb 26, 2026

How is it a territory?? It's recognized by 80% of UN members. Plus, a territory is considered a land region controlled by a different country, which doesn't make sense in the case of Palestine.

Palestine is now recognized as a nation by 81% of the world, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and France. Jetpunk should represent the international community by following suit, but is unashamedly showing their bias by not doing so.

Dec 23, 2025

Frankly, it's a little embarrassing that Palestine hasn't been included while Kosovo and Taiwan have. Either the list should be excluded to only include full UN members, or the list should be expanded to include Palestine - a country recognized by over 80% of all UN members. As it stands now, Palestine's exclusion screams of the website moderators' personal bias rather than a genuine attempt to depict the world as is.

Dec 30, 2025

You're right: why bother to try to improve things and make them more accurate? That's a disappointing attitude for someone on a trivia website to have

Level 61

Jan 20, 2026

This site has already stated why Palestine is not included but Kosovo and Taiwan is. Palestine does not completly control their borders while Taiwan and Kosovo, for the most part, do.

Level 35

Jan 23, 2026

Exactly! Thank you for understanding ;)

+10

Level 49

Jan 29, 2026

That is a poor argument considering other breakaway regions such as Transnistria in Moldova effectively control their own borders. Palestine is recognised as a sovereign state by 157 UN member states including 4 permanent security council members (UK, France, China and Russia) while Taiwan is only recognised by 11 UN member states and the Holy See.

Level 61

Feb 18, 2026

Transnistria operates as a "State within a state" and is only helped by Russia and I don't know if you have stuck your head in the news recently but nobody likes nor cares what Russia thinks.

Taiwan is liked by a lot of countries but cant get recognition because no one wants to start a war or worsen relations with China.

Also this quiz website is based in the US which if you don't know, doesn't recognize nor have good relations with Palestine

Level 24

Mar 5, 2026

As you mention, this quiz is in US, and US didn't recognized ROC(Taiwan) as a nation, what ever the reason is not wanted to start war with China or not, ROC is just not a nation recognized by 99% of UN members. "Taiwan is liked by a lot of countries but can't get recognition because no one wants to start a war or worsen relations with China." is true but it's not a reason to list Taiwan in a quiz without other sovereign states like Palestine, especially knowing the fact that way more UN members recognize Palestine but not Taiwan.

Level 24

Mar 5, 2026

According to your opinion, why not consider Transnistria due to "no one cares nor cares what Russia thinks", but Taiwan "because no one wants to start a war or worsen relations with China"? Can I say "Palestine is liked and recognized by a lot of countries but can't be a UN member because no one wants to start a war or worsen relations with the US"?

Can anyone tell me what is the gray triangle between India, China, and Pakistan?

Because of Kashmir, a disputed region. ~~Finally studying books in school helped with something (Shahana)~~

Level 74

Feb 8, 2026

Specifically the Siachen Glacier

Level 24

Mar 5, 2026

Not exactly. The gray area in the map is actually the Trans-Karakoram Tract, the border between China, Pakistan and India determined through the 1963 Sino-Pakistan Agreement, controlled by China, but disagreed by India. It's located in the Kashmir region, beside the Siachen Glacier where India and Pakistan have conflicts.
