Some quiz makers might disagree, but they have to follow the JetPunk convection that Palestine is not a country.

No, that is different. Jammu and Kashmir are disputed regions, with China, India, and Pakistan all laying claim. Palestine is a separate geopolitical entity subjugated by Israel.

ShievaAndGolly is right Palestine is an observer state under UN Recognition but So in Kosovo and Palestine is recognized by more countries so do what you will with that info.

There really is no point arguing. You all have different opinions but it is Jetpunk Convention that it is in grey and cannot be typed in. If you have a problem with that go write to Jetpunk yourselves.

According to Jetpunk, Palestine is not a country. Regardless of personal opinions on that matter, quiz makers must show it as so.

Having Crimea turn green when "Russia" is typed in rather than "Ukraine" is certainly... a choice.

It's your choice. Quizmaster even said this on the Russian Oblasts quiz: I say any quizmaker who wants to make a quiz can make a personal choice on whether to include Crimea or not.

Crimea speaks Russian and is under the jurisdiction of the Russian federal government. It only makes sense that it is part of Russia

Level 63
Aug 17, 2021
It is de facto controlled by Russia, but to say it is under Russian jurisdiction goes a bit far. With the exception of Russia's close allies, every country recognises Crimea as part of Ukrainian sovereign territory, and the Russian annexation of Crimea followed a farce of a referendum conducted without international oversight, and with armed Russian soldiers at each polling station.

Austria speaks German, yet it is not part of Germany. The USA speaks English and it isn't part of the UK. The fact that Crimea speaks Russian doesn't matter.

Show some respect. I have known the countries of the world for five years, and I still enjoy these. Having some experience with SVG's, I know that this probably took a while to make. However, it is not as hard as for someone like me making them with a text editor. I really wish the map stroke would be reduced to the default of one pixel though. Or maybe even use this code so the stroke reduces when you guess it right: <style>.svg-holder .svg-correct{stroke-width:1px !important}</style>.

Isn't it because on the map, Ukraine spills over into Moldova, so if you type in Ukraine first, the formerly Persian part of Moldova becomes green too?

It's easy to miss. I can't see which part of Moldova is included, but I guessed that it must be the missing country based on being the only country with a border close enough to the green area.
