huh. Are you sure about that? I was in Yerevan in 2015 and they had signs up all over the place celebrating something Turkey had done 100 years ago. There were concerts and flowers and all sorts of stuff going on. Maybe I misinterpreted that.

and, oh yes! I forgot about Cyprus, which is bordered by Turkish-occupied TRNC. One more to add to the list of countries that adore their Turkish neighbors. I'll never forget how super-stoked the guy from Cypriot customs was when I was trying to clear my car there and told him it was my intention to drive it north to Girne and leave from there.

Turkey does not support ISIS. ISIS is Turkey's enemy. ISIS is a terror group like PKK.

Ah, Antalya, where an old guy on a table outside a cafe taught Karla how to play backgammon. She beat me first time she played a real game - also in Antalya - and has celebrated by refusing to play it ever since.

After finishing this quiz, I was scratching my head over how both Armenia and Azerbaijan could border Turkey, so I ended up finding out all about the autonomous region of Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan. It's separated from the remainder of Azerbaijan by Armenia, much like Alaska is separated from the continental U.S. by Canada. That's yet another useless piece of obscure geography trivia to file away for the ultimate Final Jeopardy destiny that awaits me (in my own mind).

When I visited Kosovo two years ago, I found it to be a pleasant and peaceful country. It is recognized diplomatically by 111 nations (a majority of the world's countries), and is a parliamentary republic, with its most recent elections having been held in 2014.

When I visited Palestine a few years ago, I found it to be a pleasant and peaceful country. It is recognized diplomatically by 136 nations (a majority of the world's countries), and is a parliamentary republic, with its most recent elections having been held in 2006. (An a UN observer state, making it's status similar to Vatican). Palestine would probably make this list, but Jetpunk choses the US recognized states.

I visited Palestine last year and I had the same experience. If you take the one minute sprint version of this quiz you'll find out how far away Palestine is! As a matter of policy, quizzes that get featured on Jetpunk have Palestine removed as an answer, in line with the answers listed in the Countries of the World quiz.

Well argued, PjotrL. You make me wonder how "jetpunk" reached that decision? Is jetpunk indeed a democracy or is it a dictatorship? What would it take to encourage it to recognise Palestine as a nation?

@CardinalSin: Jetpunk is definitely a dictatorship. Our (mostly) benevolent dictator is the Quizmaster. His decisions, while typically "just," are his own - he'll usually give us his reasons, but it's his website, and he can run it as he pleases.

Note that he does occasionally change his stance, if he feels there is good reason to do so. Well-argued and well-sourced points can be effective - the opposite, not so much.

if the website thinks it is a country than they can put it in, just because you don't recognise a certain country doesn't mean its not a country

Fortunately, the status of Crimea makes absolutely no difference to this quiz, as both countries get even nearer Turkey in other places entirely.

(Russia through Georgia, and Ukraine near Moldova)

haha... wtf... has it? That's the name in Turkish... not English... good grief now we're going to have to argue with these people as well as the Cote d'Ivoire ones? Turkey's name in Turkish was never Turkey, so nothing has changed. They've requested that other people start speaking Turkish. That's not the same thing as changing the name.
