Palestine’s inclusion in the Asia quizzes depends on the language version you’re using. For example, in English, Palestine is not included since the major English-speaking countries (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, etc.) do not recognize Palestine. If you load the Asia quizzes in Polish, Romanian or Swedish, for example, Palestine is included since Poland, Romania and Sweden recognize Palestine as a country.

You can always add or remove Palestine from quizzes by creating a custom quiz..

Yes, you definitely can. You can let your students use the standard quizzes on the website for free, of course.
