@opencage does Nicosia 🇨🇾 / Nord-Nicosia count?
#fridaygeotrivia. Probably not as there is no emoij flag 😉

@MichelvanBaal We will give a half point - our definition of country is it must have an ISO code, and Northern Cyprus does not.

@opencage @MichelvanBaal Strongly disagree. That would exclude e.g. Tibet. In this case that would not matter as Lhasa is >100km fomr the border, but as a matter of principle.

@alzimon @MichelvanBaal Correct, we exclude Tibet. Not a country as no ISO code (we do make an exception for Kosovo though, which also does not have an ISO code).
