BlackKittyKat · 01/01/2020 16:21

CormoranStrike · 01/01/2020 16:22

To @deemail to differentiate between ROI and NI

MongerTruffle · 01/01/2020 16:35

coiner These are definitely not countries: Abkhazia, Åland Islands, Bali, Bermuda, Canary Islands, Cook Islands, Dubai, England, Falkland Islands, Faroe Islands, French Guiana, French Polynesia, Fuerteventura, Gibraltar, Gran Canaria, Greenland, Guernsey, Hawaii, Holland, Isle of Man, Jersey, Kurdistan, Lanzarote, Lapland, Majorca, Netherlands Antilles, Newfoundland, Nouméa, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Sicily, Saint-Martin and Sint Maarten, Tahiti, Tenerife, Tibet, Wales, Zante and Zanzibar.

Hong Kong and Macao are debatable, but the above are indisputably territories, regions, islands or cities that are part of other countries.

Munchietime · 01/01/2020 16:45

@Waxonwaxoff0 I've been to Kiribati. On a south Pacific cruise. It looked like the old Bounty adverts.

The cruise company woukd take supplies and the medical team set up a mobile medical station to treat locals.

ClaireDendie · 01/01/2020 16:47

I will add Estonia and Iceland

Deemail · 01/01/2020 17:12

To @deemail to differentiate between ROI and NI

I can tell you mean no offence but it's still jarring to think people would think it's acceptable to refer to NI as Ireland and ROI as a separate country.

HawthornLantern · 01/01/2020 17:12

Sadly I don't think Hong Kong and Macao are debatable. They are special administrative regions of China.

Taiwan is interesting - it insists it's independent but China disagrees.

Fifilafrog · 01/01/2020 17:26

Boreofwhabylon are you in insurance by any chance?

Was sure I wouldn't see noumea on the lists!

CormoranStrike · 01/01/2020 17:35

@deemail I certainly mean no offence and am uneducated enough to not know what office I have caused - is it by missing northern from In front of Ireland when meaning NI.

I had through the preference for the south was ROI.

Can I add The Turkish Republic of North Cyprus?

I know it's not recognised and is part of Cyprus.

joan12 · 01/01/2020 17:43

I've been to Yemen!

Waxonwaxoff0 · 01/01/2020 17:45

@Munchietime what was it like? I'd love to visit somewhere like that, really off the beaten track but they all look very difficult to get to.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 01/01/2020 17:49

Er, I have been to Cape Verde, I was the second poster and it's on my post!

Scoffingaftereights · 01/01/2020 17:53

Equatorial guinea
Cameroon
Burkina Faso
Sao tome and principe

I used to travel a lot around Africa for work, so these are the ones I've visited that I don't think are on the mega list, but on mobile and keep having to scroll up and down so they might be Grin Zanzibar isn't a seperate country though, its Tanzania. so shouldn't be listed seperatly on the list.
