Earlier quoted context omitted.

The pictures come straight from Wikipedia. From the picture for North Korea ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea ): Territory controlled by North Korea shown in dark green; territory claimed but not controlled shown in light green.

China isn't in light green for Taiwan. Is that situation different in some way?

Does Taiwan claim sovereignty over mainland China?

It did historically, and has not formally renounced its claim (which included Mongolia).

Cool one, especially for kids. It'd go well with naming the capital city, too.

These both seem to be one per day, so you can't sit there and do a whole bunch in a row.

Hey you are missing Mauritius!

Nice game. Would be great if the gameplay moved on to the next country after a correct or wrong answer, without the need to hit the "Continue" button.

Got 182/195! Hate the Oceania and Caribbean for always making me lose points in quizzes :D

There are couple of entities in the game whose statehood is debated / contested.

I mean, there is no "objective" list of countries everyone agrees on, nor how many are there in total. You're gonna upset some people regardless of which definition you choose.

Absolutely

This is legitimately great! Would love it if there was some sort of session persistence (even if it's just an array in localStorage of countries I've already covered.) that way I could play through all the countries without having to keep the window open. Simple and effective game! Nice job :)
