Both the Ukraine and the Libya answers would be different if you were counting oversees territories, so you just KNOW people will be complaining until a bullet in the instructions clearly states it :-) // Really cool quiz, EuropeanQuizzer!
The Kingdom of Denmark is constitutionally defined as a unitary state that just has devolved powers to two regions within it (Greenland and the Faroe Islands). From a legal POV it's not made up of "constituent countries" - as e.g. the Kingdom of the Netherlands - and it's clearly bigger than Libya, so it's the biggest country with less than 10 mio. people. Jetpunk should use the official status and not what separatists claim is the status. "Denmark" is a shorthand for the kingdom of Denmark, constitutionally there is no such thing as a "Denmark proper", its solely defined negatively as the part of the kingdom that doesn't have autonomy (when our parliament legislates for "Denmark proper" they do it by adding that "this law does not apply for Greenland and the Faroe Islands" not "this law applies for Denmark").
They look identical , apparently it is only the shades of the colour that make them different. Similarly to Indonesia and Monaco flags, they look exactly the same.
This quiz was a lot of fun. I jumped with glee every time I correctly deduced a right answer! It was really enjoyable, because even if you don't know the answer, you can get there with a bit of thought. Thumbs up, all the way!
Wikipedia says no, although it does admit to varying definitions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_America#Different_definitions (I'm kind of perplexed by their suggestion that the British sometimes include part but not all of Mexico as being in Central America.)
I agree with you, in terms of the continents then yes we all know Mexico is part of North America, but when you divide the Americas into three, then Mexico is often considered as part of Central America along with the Caribbean, Honduras, Panama, etc.
It is sometimes, but I wouldn't say often. This is very unscientific... but.. just googling "Central America" images you will come up with a bunch of maps. Surveying the top 10 results Mexico is included in 2 of them (20%). Looking at the top 20 results Mexico is in 5 of them (25%). And the percentage stays around the same if you continue scrolling down to the top 30, 40, 50 results (around 22%). Based on this you could say nearly 80% of the time Mexico is not considered to be part of "Central America."
Also if this wasn't clear the reason I definitively said "nope" is because whether or not you consider Mexico to be part of Central America (that's debatable), Central America is still on the continent of North America.
Most of Mexico is unquestionably part of North America. One could say that the Eastern part, east of the isthmus of Tehuantepec, is in Central America. Anyway, the common acceptation refers to the bunch of small countries between Mexico and Colombia...
Yes it is. The Caspian Sea is actually a lake. This is very defined on this quiz site and everywhere. this is why Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan are all landlocked countries.
Or, to put it another way, Argentina is the 8th largest country in the world. Mexico is the 13th. The difference in size is considerable. No matter how much you allcap.
Landlocked means its doesn't touch water connected to the ocean. The Caspian Sea is not connected to the Black, Arabian, or Meditarranean seas therefore making it landlocked
