+GeoCRAt Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hi from Dubai, I am busy planning a trip to Nepal and Tibet next year. I see that Tibet is not listed as a country in the drop-down box on the geocaching home page. Or did I miss it? Does this mean that there are no caches in Tibet? Perhaps Tibet could be added as a country to encourage cachers to drop some caches there. Also I see that Yemen is shown in two places, i.e. 1) People Den Rep Yemen, and 2) Yemen. Cheers, GeoCRAt.

+GeoCRAt Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Google. OK, so Tibet is part of China, but: 1) Surely, since Lonely Planet has a separate guide for Tibet, geocaching could do the same. 2) What about Yemen? Later. Link to comment
+Harriet the Spy Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) What about Istanbul... and while we are at it, why won't the site list the Oregon territory as place to visit? I would like to plan a trip to go caching there. Edited November 2, 2007 by Harriet the Spy Link to comment
+Glenn Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Since this thread seems to be about requesting regions that aren't internationally recognized as countries to the country list I'd like to add a request. Please add the Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Thanks. Link to comment

I would like to plan a trip to go caching there. Istanbul is a city. And you still can't go back to Constantinople. Bret (betting Harriet is too young to remember that) Link to comment
+Harriet the Spy Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I had to go google it! You are right I got the cities confused... but I would still love to plan a caching trip to the northern territories. Link to comment
+kelita13 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 People Den Rep Yemen does appear to be a mistake. Link to comment
+Cardinal Red Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 People Den Rep Yemen does appear to be a mistake. The People's Democratic Republic of Yemen The first obvious mistake is abreviating Democratic as Den Link to comment
+kelita13 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 People Den Rep Yemen does appear to be a mistake. The People's Democratic Republic of Yemen The first obvious mistake is abreviating Democratic as Den And the second is that it stopped being it's own country in 1990. Link to comment

+Equis Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Geez, next thing you know people will be requesting that the United States of America should be listed as a country as well. (It *would* be nice, btw.) Link to comment
