Two things --> First I feel it's confusing that you have included Egypt here ... because isn't Egypt most accurately one of Africa's 54 countries? So you have Egypt showing up on maps twice ... and also you have Palestinian Territories here - which is actually NOT a country of it's own ... and if you were going to include lots of accurate dependencies or overseas territories, then why have you not included Puerto Rico? Galapagos Islands? Easter Island? Greenland? Faroe Islands? etc.

On some of your complete world map or world capitals Quizzes, there seems to be an agreement of 196 countries on the planet today. But then it seems like the individual maps should support these numbers. and having Egypt show up twice and including Palestine throw the total numbers off. Maybe you could have a different color/title for any lands that are included but that are not actual countries of the world (like French Guiana, etc.)....? thanks

This only includes Palestine because they have to include something in that area, and whatever they put would cause a riot in the comments, which it did. Also the Middle East is a region, like Scandinavia or The Balkans, except it is better know and has is a bit less defined. Some people include Iran or the Caucasus, even Sudan, Eritrea and Djibouti have made it in there sometimes.

according to wikipedia, as of 31 July 2019, 138 of the 193 un member states and two non-member states have recognized palestine and its been a non-member observer state of the UN General Assembly since nov 2012. israel's recognised by 160 something so palestine isnt that far behind israel. also, the middle east isnt a continent (it's a region) so the fact that egypt's in there doesnt throw off anything lol

Everyone is arguing that the terrorist run Palestinian Territories are a country when it isn't, whereas poor old Islamic State doesn't even get a mention. They've got their own flag, government, army, tax-raising powers and a multi-billion dollar oil business that they run entirely on their own. Surely if one bunch of bandits get a mention because they are autonomous then others should too.
+25
Level 83
Aug 6, 2016
This is a fair point. Islamic State has a much better claim to sovereignty than Palestine. But nobody has recognized them because they are hated by literally everyone. State recognition often has more to do with popularity, sympathy, and (of course) politics than actual real sovereignty.

However, that said, Palestine has a (disputed, fragmented) government, they have a flag, they collect some tax revenue and exercise some civic authority, to varying degrees in different unconnected places. What Daesh most notably has that "Palestine" lacks is control over their own borders and territory, and a stable and centralized undisputed government.

The ME is a region, not a continent. It may include countries from different continents, just like Latin America includes countries from both Americas and excludes others.

Jul 20, 2022
To quote a deleted comment by Jerry928, formerly one of the most liked comments on the whole site:

"There's nothing political about accepting reality, and the reality is that Palestine is recognised as a country by most (137 of 196; 70%) of the world's countries. That recognition level is far greater than Kosovo (108) or Taiwan (23). It also has UN observer status, which is the same UN status as Vatican City, unlike Kosovo and Taiwan, which have no UN status at all."

Hmmm, gee, I wonder why that may be. I wonder who has an interest in denouncing Palestine to then, presumably, uplift Israel? Hmmmmmmm......

Like free Palistine . . . from the river to the sea, instead of . . . from Hamas?

btw a lot of people believe . . . lies

aka spread hate.

What is anti-Palestine, viciously so, is using them, sacrificing them because you want to kill Jews.

For the last time, everyone, Egypt is apart of the Middle East. It's considered to be apart of it because of their Language, (Which is Arabic) and because Egypt is apart of the Arab League.

Regarding to the recognition of the UNO, which makes authority in these cases, Palestine is recognized as a country on its own since 2012, even though it isn't ranked as a member, but as a observator non-member, has the same status than Vatican, and then Cook Islands and Niue are in the same category. It depends on who you're looking at, UNO or Jetpunk, and in some cases as Palestine or Taiwan, the answer may be different.

The only thing I wanted to say before reading comments: It's now time to change... Turkey to Turkiye (at least in both orthographs).
