  Hi WordPress developers,

  I’ve been on a bit of a social media mission over the last month to try to see if I could get my film review blog – bob-the-movie-man.com – seen in every country in the world during 2016. I pretty much succeeded, but think I discovered a number of irregularities in your registering of countries on the map. It was basically impossible (I think) to colour every country on the map. The ones I have as suspects are:

  – I know (via Facebook hits) that I have had views from Western Sahara and Turkmenistan but neither got coloured in. I think Turkmenistan is registering as Turkey.
  – Hits from Svalbard seem to be registering as Norway. Perhaps Svalbard and Norway should be coloured in together.
  – Hits from “Kosovo” I think are coming in as Serbia.
  – My targetting of the British Embassy in North Korea seems to have resulted from web hits from South Korea.
  – And (most contentious of all) the Falkland Island hits seem to be appearing as coming from Argentina! #controversial !

  Cheers, Bob.
