Geography quiz!

I received this JPG in email:



Eighteen nations are named on the map. How many are "Arab lands"?

Only nine of the eighteen countries named are Arab nations: Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Sudan, and Yemen. None of the others identify themselves as Arab nations, belong to the Arab League, or have a majority Arab population.

I think you made a slight mistake; Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen makes nine countries, not eight. Did you include an extra one, or are there really nine?

Incidentally, this reminds of something I learned recently: Turkey was the only country in an international survey where a higher percentage of the population rejected evolution than in the United States. This fact helped explain why the only person to ever tell me Darwin was evil was Turkish.

What a turkey.

I left out Sudan, but left in Tunisia even though it's not on the map, so in fact, the total should be nine. Geography I can manage, with the help of Wikipedia and the CIA Factbook. Maths, not so much. :)
