Sadly, not very uncommon in the third world. Oh I've been to Mexico too, so we can cross that off the list. lol jk that's been done already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 1,437 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Slovenia, Croatia, Fiji. Given that Greenland is land of denmark wouldn't it make sense to shade it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache 672 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Singapore is a country recognized by the UN. Macau and Hong Kong aren't. Just to clear up some doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured to have it seperate. I won't count it to the total tally though, but it's different enough for me to not shade it. I'm a bit nitpicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I oversaw you mentioned San Marino, I apologize. Taiwan is a country, official name is Republic of China opposed to People's Republic of China. As for Namibia I've never been to the Southern hemisphere, a desert or Africa before and decided to tick all three points from my bucket list directly in one cycle, and Namibia was the first country that came to my mind when I thought about how to do it.

Toinho is right, Taiwan isn't recognized by the UN. I still shaded them because they are in a similar light to Greenland, but I didn't include them in the tally. When we reach 100, I'll put a list of all the countries so far including these territories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
