According to Russia, it is officially a part of the country. You have both a federal city (Sevastopol) and a republic (Crimea), which I personally think should be considered in this type of quiz when it's about the federal subject.

Crimea is not an internationally recognized part of Russia. Russia illegally annexed the peninsula and it is quite concerning that you include it in your quiz. You have not added illegally annexed portions of Georgia (South Ossetia and Abkhazia) to your quiz though Russia claims them after annexation in 2008. Crimea is not part of Russia. Also, it's Sevastopol, not Sebastopol. Educate yourself a bit.
Jiaozira

Level 69
Apr 15, 2021
I wrote Sevastopol in the quiz, but Sebastopol has been used in English for a long time. South Ossetia and Abkhazia are de facto Russian controlled but Russia does not claim them as her territory. International recognition means little, otherwise no one would call Taiwan a country.

You say Crimea isn't part of Russia, yet it is explicitly depicted as part of Russia on every part of this site, and the Crimeans voted freely and fairly to join Russia, and are now full members of the Russian Republic.

Taiwan and Kosovo aren't "official" either, yet they are also here, because they are separate countries. I do not see why you exclude Crimea.

The quiz creator chose to leave it out. I respect their decision. Certainly Crimea is controlled by Russia. However, their seizure of the peninsula was roundly condemned by the international community. I say any quizmaker who wants to make a quiz can make a personal choice on whether to include Crimea or not.

Crimea should be here, it is a part of Russia. If someones disputes it, please check the ethnical composition of the region... that will help decide whether it really belongs to Russia or not.

Kosovo and Taiwan are not 100% internationally accepted as well, but still represented on Jetpunk as independent states....

Russia also claims Transnistria in Moldova, but that is also not in this quiz. Crimea isn't a part of Russia any more than Alaska is...

Sep 14, 2020
Perhaps I explained myself poorly, most people on Crimea are ethnic Russians who would have more likely than not, voted to join with Russia. Many Crimean Tatars boycotted the referendum. The fact is, Russia controls Crimea. Whether or not that is ethical is beyond the point here, I generally try to draw the map based on what a country reasonably controls. Many people object to China's control of Tibet, but that doesn't mean it should be excluded from the map of China. I am not at all a supporter of colonial apologism, I'm not convinced how it fits here. I just don't see how disagreeing with Russia's annexation of Crimea changes anything (and I do see hypocrisy in the way the West treats these sorts of issues, although that is basically diplomacy in a nutshell).

Jiaozira

Level 69
Jan 6, 2021
It is a suffix(?). For example, Novosibirsk translates into 'New Siberian'. 'Novo' means new. 'Sibir' means Siberia, but if we want to make it 'Siberian' then it becomes Sibirsk. Novo+Sibir+sk. Often times cities and places are marked like this, to show geographic placement. For example, 'Irkutsk' is on the Irkut River, Amursk on the Amur river, etc.
