But you raise a good point. Even though our analytics software does not restrict itself to countries (that level is labeled Countries/Territories and includes some territories that are not countries) to make it easy it must be at least a country (and we'll even make that easier on us by requiring not just the declarative theory of statehood but also the constitutive theory of statehood to be met for qualifying statehood).

So micronations like Sealand and territories like the Pitcairn Islands are out.


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So not fair! It has its own page at the CIA Factbook site:
That's all the verification of countryhood for my books!

No. I wouldn't want my real name associated with this place.

We have our first winner. Jay, on Facebook, guessed Guinea-Bissau and wins our first hat. Please PM us your choice of retro or new logo and where to send it.

We will extend the contest to accept another winner on Twitter. So for a chance to win the last hat in this contest follow us there and send your guesses to @able2know.

This laggard has still not joined facebook, and I already have two a2k hats and a now oldie sweatshirt that I've been known to wear to the grocery store.. But, maybe I will, maybe I will. I was planning on joining, if and when, under my own name. Can one have both your own name and a2k name accounts?

@able2know,
Am lost for words. I want to enter Twitter and it tells me I have the wrong username/password combination. They are absolutely wrong as I have their printed confirmation of my details in front of me! So no more twitter for me.
Just for the record this is the name I wanted to submit: Djibouti.

Will stick to a2k from now on only.
