It's actually just under the Malatya and It is a rapidly growing city as far as I know. So in near future maybe It can get on the list

Bursa was one of the 3 cities I got. (of "virtually" no use, not "totally" useless). I forgot about Konyaspor. But knowing Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas was not helpful since, IIRC, they're all based in Istanbul.

Consider allowing Kurdish variations for Van (Wan), Diyarbakir (Amed), and Urfa (Riha), which have Kurdish majority populations.

I'll consider it, although not all place names on Jetpunk allow for the native language equivalent as a type-in (Moskva isn't accepted for Moscow, etc). I'm not sure there is a demand for the type-ins either, although maybe I am mistaken. If more people request the type-ins I will add them.

I'm likely going to add Sakarya as a type-in, although I'm going to wait for now seeing as this is a featured quiz. I'm less convinced about Kocaeli, seeing as Gebze makes a small portion of Kocaeli's population, but I'm not Turkish and so I won't be familiar with different names for cities, although I try my best. Thanks for the feedback :)

Actually, In the Turkish map, it is Kocaeli. Gebze is a district of Kocaeli.

Actually, the proper name of the city is Adapazarı. On the other hand, the province where Adapazarı is located is named after the Sakarya River (ancient Sangarius) because the mouth of the river is located within this province. Furthermore, there was no such province as Sakarya until 1954 when the province was formed. However, the city was known as Adapazarı since the Ottoman period. Nevertheless, even the Turkish people mistakenly call this city as Sakarya so this answer can be accepted.

Similarly, Kocaeli is only the name of a province, not the name of that province's capital city which is İzmit (Nicomedia in Ancient Greek).

Kocaeli is a province, and from what I've researched it seems that İzmit is sometimes called Kocaeli informally, rather than Gebze.

Gebze is indeed a city. I see many Turks confusing the term 'province' ('il' in Turkish) with city.

While the term 'city' denotes an undivided settlement with a larger population than a town or a village, a province is an administrative division which is the sum of uninhabited areas (farms, forests, lakes) and human settlements (cities, towns, villages).

Likewise, there can be multiple cities within the borders of a province. For example, Konya Province was named after its administrative center Konya. However, there are also other cities within Konya province such as Beyşehir, Akşehir and Seydişehir ('şehir' means city in Turkish).

This is interesting to me, before making this quiz I hadn't realised that 'cities' could be interpreted differently. Maybe I will have to come back with a sequel about Turkish provinces.

Thank you for helping to clear this up :)

still not a city. administratively it is a "kent" which means town not a city. otherwise it would've been called "sehir".

With a decaying economy, an ageing population, immigration and the little youth that is left leaving en masse for abroad, I think you have much bigger problems than the loss of an empire six centuries ago. Plus it makes you look really pathetic posting that on an international website.

I was waiting for someone to comment this. I try and draw de facto lines of control when possible. At present, I prefer to use a dotted line (rather than a solid border) to contrast de jure and de facto situation, and when I made this map I was a little careless in forgetting South Ossetia in the top right corner. It should be noted that the way I draw borders is in trying to stay as close to the current situation as possible, rather than my opinion, which is irrelevant for all intents and purposes.
