@Draakon Hello, there. As stated below: "well, at the moment, as Ukrainian government is not really agreeing... Let's say we will update when Wikipedia or something like that will (as stated in credits / disclaimer, no politics intended here)." :)

Yes, Crazyfist1989, the Vatican is an independent country. It's the one with the highest proportion of immigrants in its population (think about it). Which makes quite a good quiz question.

If you don't include Turkey, please don't include Russia. That's a non-sens since Turkey wants to be in Europe whereas Russia do NOT want to be in Europe at all.
@sokob4n Hi there. As stated below, we based the quiz on several maps. It's really a matter of continent here (the geological definition) and not European Union for example.

Thanks for the reply (and well done with the 'game'); nice to see Gibraltar located, even if it's not added to the target list. One fussy point, it comes up as "(part of UK)" which isn't right. I'd suggest using "(British)" as more accurate, and the same could be used for Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
I wonder if you've considered adding membership of organisations, say radio buttons for EEA, EU, NATO or even "has won the Eurovision Song Contest" once a country's been identified? Things are complicated in Europe.
@Jeffe77 Thanks for the feedback. We'll use "British" in the next update. We're also thinking about extra game modes at the moment, thanks for your ideas.

Doesn't recognize any of the litchenstein mis-spellings provided in the comments, nor the correct answer. Forever 44/45

Question, why the double standard for Turkey and Russia? If you enter Turkey, it goes to a separate list labelled "partly in Europe". Wouldn't Russia also just fall on that list, since most of it's land mass is in Asia?
The only difference I could really think of was the location of their capitals. Moscow is within Europe's geographical boundaries, and Ankara is in Asia (Asia Minor). But both have land mass in Europe.
@Sirasion Hello, after studying many maps, we noticed Russia is usually featured in Europe and Turkey in Asia. They say it's mainly because of the position of the capital and where the population mainly lives (as stated in credits / disclaimer, no politics intended here).

@Saigneur: countries don't have to be part of the European Union in order to be in the continent of Europe! Which continent did you think Iceland was in, if it wasn't in Europe???! Back to school for you...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Many of those are NOT part of the european union and even Iceland resigned it's candidateship to EU... So, fail game.
@Saigneur Hey there, game is not dealing with European Union anywhere but with the European continent :) (as stated in credits / disclaimer, no politics intended here).
@sporkofslack Hey there, expected this comment :) Well, at the moment, as Ukrainian government is not really agreeing... Let's say we will update when Wikipedia or something like that will (as stated in credits / disclaimer, no politics intended here).

/// ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to a bug, we cannot update the game on Kongregate for the moment. Version 1.2 is ready including:
- Extra answers (Faroe, Aland, Kosovo…)
- More flexible answers
- Several minor bug fix
Stay tuned! Thank you for your attention :)
@xXProccoonXx For sure, there are games all over the Internet that look like our (even if we added cool features here I think, and more are coming as soon as I figure out how to update the game). But the one you quote is a drag and drop game, nothing alike, come on ;)

Wooo got all 45, i must admit when i got to the eastern block it started to get tricky and then for some reason i couldnt remember andorra :D got there in the end though, flawless design 4/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
good game! I always seem to forget 4 or 5...hope more features come soon! maybe a questionnaire about each country? or flag matching too? anyways 4/5!!
@ShinodaII Hello! Thanks for the nice comment. Fore sure, we'll reskin that game for the other continents (and U.S. States, and maybe the world ;) - and even other topics I guess). For the flags, we are thinking about a more challenging gameplay with progressively tougher flags. See you around :)

Faroe Islands? Aland Islands?
Otherwise, it is just like Eurovision Song Contest: MALTA! ONE POINT!
One of the rare didactic games on kong: 4/5
@Linousan Hi there. Did not include Faroe Islands because part of Denmark nor Aland because part of Finland ;) We plan to add a trivia section unlocked by those ones. Thanks for the kind rating, first game here :)

There were at-least 10 countries I could not get because I could not figure out how to spell them. A matching mode would be nice.
