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....

Crimea is not an internationally recognized part of Russia. Russia illegally annexed the peninsula. Illegally annexed portions of Georgia (South Ossetia and Abkhazia) are not in this quiz though Russia claims them after annexation in 2008. 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...

I always remember Russian cities by their 'sk'. What does sk mean??
Jiaozira
+4
Level 71
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.

I wanted to tell you that I have made a French version of this quiz (in order to learn it in French in a funnier way) and I it turned out it has been featured in French. I am sorry I didn't ask you first. If it bother you I can delete it.

I am completely fine with that, as the (featured) translated quiz is not my creation to begin with.

It doesn't bother me if people translate my quizzes without asking first, that was standard procedure when I joined Jetpunk. Clearly you are using it to learn, too, and I fully support the use of the quiz for that :)

If you have Crimea and Sevastopol, then you need to include Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson; otherwise this quiz is incomplete and wrong, no matter the state of the conflict. The Russian government recognises 89 federal subjects, despite the international community generally excluding those in claimed Ukrainian territory. This quiz must either have all 89, or just 83 with a note which excludes unrecognised territories including Crimea and Sevastopol, as they come under the same category of those currently excluded.
Jiaozira

I disagree. The territorial gains are still too recent and precarious, and I don't want to add them so early and then have to take them off again if Russia loses them in six months.

Russia wont lose them in any near future, the argument here is that Crimea and Sevastopol have been annexed by Russia in similar ways as the 4 other oblasts. All by referenda not recognized by most other countries. Crimea and Sevastopol are still counted as Ukrainian internationally. You either need to go one way or the other and not chose a middle road. Chose either that Sevastopol and Crimea are Ukrainian and remove them from this quiz or list the oblasts that are counted as Russia by the Russian government.
Jiaozira

Level 71
Apr 22, 2025
The quiz is not supposed to remain like this longterm. I'm not planning on changing it until the situation stabilises, because these 'new oblasts' are on the line of control and Russia doesn't even control all of the territory within these oblasts they claim. Until the war ends, we don't know what the outcome is going to be. Russia could even, in theory, lose control of Crimea. I'm not saying it's going to happen but I'm not changing anything until the war ends.

Essentially, I'm not going to update anything unless other world maps, such as the Countries of the World map on Jetpunk follow suite. For example, look at Google Maps, they have a little dotted line to show disputed boundaries at Crimea, but no indication of Russia's claimed new oblasts during the war. I'm not removing Crimea from the quiz anytime soon either, since Russia administered them since before the war turned hot, no matter how illegal said annexation was.
