Wouldn't non-sovereign be a better term to describe these territories than "fake countries"? Other than that, great quiz! :)

They voted against it by a narrow margin BEFORE BREXIT. They are in the early stages of planning a post-BREXIT independence vote.

At which point, if it succeeds and everything goes through, all of Jetpunk save for a few angry English people will happily welcome Scotland to the great family of independent nations! They're just not in it right now.

It’s JetPunk not Jetpunk.

I will avoid pointing out the obvious irony here and instead just mention that doesn't have anything to do with Murphy's law.

Fun quiz, thanks.

BTW, the Falkland Islands being described as "involved in an undeclared war between Argentina and the United Kingdom" makes it seem like it's still going on, at least the way I read it. Adding "... in 1982." would make it clear, but not exactly a huge issue!

Kosovo shouldn't be considered as an independent country neither as it's partially recognized by other countries.

The description should probably specify that three flags belong to nations recognized by Jetpunk specifically.

While Cook Islands are not a member of the UN, the UN recognizes them as an independent nation with full treaty-making capacities, same as Niue.

kosovo is a slightly dicey one to include since there are many UN countries that don't recognise it.

Still more an independent country than Scotland will ever be!!!

Some of them are yeah not recognized states, like Somaliland and SADR, but they are in practice independent. They work and do everything as if they are an independent country, especially when it comes to Somaliland, as the government there is completely detached from Somalia, which is even considered to be a failed state.
