This generally is quite a good daily game that I recommend everybody play - really helps with baseline geographical literacy. That "Palestine" is a country option instead of West Bank or Occupied Territories is good even.
But yeah this was a real :picard-direct-action: moment.
tb"f" that isn't the outline of Palestine, it's missing some land and has some extra land stolen from Syria.
I had an international student once, I asked him where he's from and he says "Palestine". I was like oh interesting, where in Palestine are you from?
He said Haifa lol chad fucking student
Yeah I mean they aren't all "countries", they're pretty explicit about that that they're just using a list of countries/territories etc.. If I was the creator of this game I wouldn't wade into adjudicating individual cases of territorial legitimacy across the globe either :shrug-outta-hecks:
Given this, OP, the crimea thing mentioned below, it kinda seems like they are adjudicating all of these cases.
I stopped playing this game when it had Ukraine with Crimea on it once.
