Thanks for bringing this to my attention although I'm pretty sure this is the only reason you started this thread.

The amateurs behind this site claim to have compiled a list of "nations" and in a nutshell I quickly pointed out to them via email that only the UN can determine what constitutes a "nation" and credible links to the list and definitions of a nation.

I have a feeling you won't be seeing any more errors in their next release.

I have also written to them, for this shameful act. But then again it is the UN, do we really expect anything more?

It's not. Just a bunch of academics from some uni.

We should also write to Google for frequently exhibiting the entire area of Paphos in Turkish in google maps and Facebook for showing Baf/Gazibaf as a placename in Cyprus.

For those who don't understand what Gazibaf even means:

Baf: The Turkish name for Paphos

Gazi- tribute prefix given to cities where a battle has taken place.

So it's basically a suggestion that Turkey will eventually take the city after a battle.

Happiness is short-lived for idiotnado.

The idiot's blog-site has nothing to do with the UN. It looks like it's sponsored by some firms and mostly this guy:

Ted Turner
The Turner Foundation Inc., Georgia, USA

Over the past four decades, Turner stepped into the international spotlight with one accomplishment after another. Whether in billboard advertisement, cable television, sports team ownership, sailing, environmental initiatives, or philanthropy – Turner’s vision, determination, generosity and forthrightness have consistently given the world reason to take notice.

Turner is also chairman of Turner Enterprises, Inc., a private company, which manages his business interests, land holdings and investments, including the oversight of two million acres in 12 states and in Argentina, and more than 55,000 bison head.

Btw, I hope they remembered to include Palestine as it’s been granted UN Observer Status unlike "north Cyprus" which is officially an illegally occupied territory of Cyprus.

Hic................. Fly back to your cave

Here the repellent harpies make their nests,
They have broad wings, with razor sharp talons and a human neck and face,
Clawed feet and swollen, feathered bellies; they caw
Their lamentations in the eerie tree
