Regarding question number 12:

It would be remiss of me not to point out that Nicosia is not in fact divided by two countries, as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is not recognised as such by anyone except Turkey. Nicosia is divided between one country and one de facto state with very limited global recognition.


As you where.
