Well said Rogg. Apparently Suriname and Guyana enter the North American qualifier
Yes they do but according to lord Viz they are south America
Well they are. By the football logic, Australia is in Asia and Kazakhstan is in Europe.

Because their state broadcaster is a member of the European Broadcasting Union.

Morocco could enter if they wanted to on the same basis.

To be fair, it's not that hard to understand why Israel isn't playing football matches against the likes of Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, etc.

Only country I couldn't remember was St. Kitts & Nevis. And that frustrates me. Had the other 196 typed out and all in under 10 minutes.
