Over a few months I took note of all the different flags of countries on the main pokerstars server (real money). I counted 156 different flags and the breakdown by continent as follows:

Europe 45
North America (including Carribean) 30
Africa 29
Asia 26
South America 12
Oceania 8
Eurasia 5
Antartica!!!! 1 (maybe a penguin?)

Somebody was playing under the flag for Yugoslavia!

It is easier to know the countries which are forbidden to play for real money on PokerStars and not to puzzle.

No way that someone was playing under the flag of Yugoslavia:D

But one interesting fact is that in almost every ex Yugoslav Republic one part of the inhabitants (the older generation) are still declaring themselves as Yugoslavs:)

People of former Yugoslavia enjoyed it because nowdays situation is so much worse. I know from my grandfather stories that it was a simpler time and it was so beautifull.

To be exact, America is only one Contienent, from Alaska to Patagonia, There is North, Central and South America as there is North Central and South Africa. But they are part of the same Continent. :call:

Interesting that you have 30 countries for North America when there are only 23 countries including the Caribbean in North America.

I've played on PS Play Money tables with at least one guy in Antarctica. I think the flag was blue and white with an outline of Antarctica itself.

Probably one of these flags then




By the way, Antarctica is not a country and as far as I know, there are no countries within it's boundaries.

OP is a list of countries by continent (sort of), defined by flag. I wouldn't consider "Eurasia" a continent unto itself.

The person from Antartica had the bottom flag. And yes there was someone playing from Yugoslavia. I dont know how this could be possible but Im not making it up. And the flags from the Caribbean could very well represent independent territories and not countries (I guess I should say I counted 156 different flags--not necessarily that many countries). And I didnt count countries where the players cant play for real money on the main server like the USA although I did see their flag when I play in home games on pokerstars for play money.

unfortunately I don't live in a free country where I can play the pokerstars real money
games against the world but I do get to play our homegames with everyone and do love the fact that so many countries are represented :)
made a short vid for me, poor quality, don't have a good screen recorder but it shows most of the country's from here at CC and thought it was cool.

[...]
Europe 45
Asia 26
Eurasia 5[...]

Now you are confusing me... The whole of my life i did thought, that "Eurasia" word stays for combined continental landmass of Europe and Asia.. So what are those 5 countries, that you put under "Eurasia" tag, which are not a part of Europe nor Asia?! :eek:

You sure aren't expert as it seems. I've never been to Cyprus but i still don't think that they are partly in both Europe and Asia like Turkey is :)
