Having trouble finding your place in the country list?
That's ok, we've got confused a few times also, trying to catalogue the world into a system which is easy to use for both travellers and locals alike.

Here's what we've decided for the following places:

Alaska: Don't forget its actually part of the United States of America.
Hawaii: Again this is a part of the United States of America.
Hong Kong: Even though Hong Kong is now a SAR (Special Administrative Region) of China, we have left it as a separate entity.
Macau: Follows the Hong Kong example.
Myanmar: Was formerly known as Burma.
Tibet: Tibet (Xizang Province) has recently become part of China and therefore is included within China.
United Kingdom: We have chosen to break the United Kingdom into the following entities.
Channel Islands (Includes Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey Islands etc)
England
Ireland
Man (Isle of)
Northern Ireland
Scotland
Wales
Yugoslavia: This refers to the 'Federated Republic of' which includes Serbia and Montenegro.
