OK, this will seen as totally anal but what the heck! I was the one who first listed the 4 countries that begin with D in another thread we had about a week ago. I bet that's where some of you above saw the information. Anyway, Dhekelia is not a country; it is just a piece of land the Queen owns outside the UK. The way to check if a piece of land is an official country is to see if it has an ISO country code: http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html

The Dhekelia place I got by looking on cia.gov website just to check if there were any more. As greenwich points out Dhekelia is not really a country, but it is a bit of land on Cyprus that is not the sovereign territory of either North or South Cyprus.0
