Countries in the Byzantine Empire

Or read Procopius. It is a first hand account of this time period written by one of the last great classical historians. It is still relatively readable today, at least in parts.

It has a really interesting history, in that Procopius wrote several official books covering this time period, then sat down and wrote what he claimed was the true history, containing all the events and truths he was forced to leave out.

In this history, Procopius goes back and forth between covering the history of the rule of Justinian in great detail, including firsthand accounts of various events in Justinian's conquests, and slandering Justinian, Belisarus and anyone related to Justinian as much as possible. As per the Secret History Justinian was actually some tyrannical demonspawn with the face of a long dead emperor, and uses dark powers, revealed by his tendency to literally have his head vanish and reappear at random with nothing wrong.

Neither of which are part of the UK.

Either you are bragging and exagerating or time have been changed. Cause i typed countries back to back without pause and am not a slow typer (on laptop anyway, tablet slows things down) and was tight in time.. Missed a few ( conviced I had allready typed croatia, but portugal had slipped my mind and malta and cyprus hadnt come up yet either) but not time to figure out which country I hadnt typed yet. (But atleast 4 of which I had tried werent on, so maybe if I had typed the right countries the time would ve been less tight)

Only small parts of both are included. Greetings from Pater to Cardinal!

Liechtenstein's included now.

Also, San Marino seems to be missing. (otherwise great quiz. I almost forgot Tunisia)

Monaco is on the southern border of France, just west of Italy. Liechtenstein is between Switzerland to the west and Austria to the east.

Yes, but not the Byzantine Empire. In Iberia, the ERE basically only controlled Andalusia and the Balaeric Islands at its peak extent. The invasion of Spain was basically an afterthought in Justinian's plans, the result of seeing that the Visigoths were in a succession crisis, and that was as good an excuse as any to carve away a chunk of the visigothic kingdom in Spain. The Byzantines never really made it far into Iberia and were never anywhere near the Pyrennes, as their invasion quickly got bogged down, and they decided that the only part of Spain worth keeping was a buffer against the Visigoths for their African territories, along with the Balearics which were added in a previous war. They were never in Andorra.

How in the world did you get Vatican and San Marino, BUT NOT ITALY??!
