	This doesn't make any sense to me. Why wouldn't a country like Cyprus be on here, since its residents are called Cypriots? It seems like there's lots and lots of answers missing.

	Your criteria for inclusion are unclear. Many of the items in your list seem quite regular, like Luxembourg: the adjective being identical to the country's name is quite common. On the other hand I miss quite obvious irregular cases like: (1) USA - American; (2) Switzerland - Swiss; (3) Monaco - Monegasque; (4) Cote d'Ivoire - Ivorian.

	Some of what turned up surprised me, but I went with what my source (The CIA World Factbook) said. I went throgh every entry to check. The noun and adjective describe nationallity.

	I may have misunderstood the comments above. My original title for the game was unclear, as I had trouble wording it. I'm looking for the way you describe nationality. Therefore, USA does not work because the noun (he is an American) is the same as the adjective (he is American). If Scotland were a sovereign nation then it would qualify since the noun (he is a Scotsman) is different to the adjective (he is Scottish). The game is looking for this difference. I have changed the wording of the question to something that is hopefully clearer.
