The United Kingdom isn't a country... but Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England all are. So 65, +4 that didn't register because the game make doesn't know what a country is.

Wales/etc are as much countries as New York State, California and Texas are countries. Sorry brahs, distinct regional histories =/= country. If you all vote for and are represented in the United Nations by one guy, you are all one country.

Yeah I'm not trolling. The thing is that in most states of the USA you'll find people who are like 'YEAH...TEXAS...kicking everyone's ASS'. But just as many people going 'GO USA (get a brain morans)' etc. In Scotland, England, or Wales, you rarely find people saying 'GO BRITAIN!' unless it's for the olympics. I don't know it just feels different from your distinctions of states.

ps jello are you from scotland?

Yeah people in the UK are more proud and identify themselves more heavily with their provincial/state designation, ie scottish/welsh/etc vs the United States (ie south dakotan, arizonan), but from a perspective of political perspective it's irrelevant. The people in the UK all vote and are represented by one person at the executive level, the Prime Minister, and ergo are one country.

Distinct regional history/pride =/= distinct countries.

This question is obviously a lol one because its analytic (true/false by definition) in nature. It's a question of whether Wales/etc fits into the definition of country. Since we aren't arguing about the actual nature of what Wales/etc is we are just arguing about the definition of "country". Still fun tho.

Got 48... it wouldn't accept United States (why does this always happen to me?), so I spent like a minute trying to figure out something it would accept before saying screw it. I also forgot like half of Africa/Asia because I just blanked. It would help an awful lot to have a blank map. Also, apparently my spelling sucks.

Under two minutes! (not entirely accurate/up-to-date though, and they even misspell Israel :p)

http://www.teamliquid.net/mytlnet/editprofile.php has a nice list too.

They have a strange definition of "country". Sporcle is much better for quizzes like this.

I got 158, for whatever that's worth.
