	United States of America has 21 letters. Otherwise, nice concept.

	Nice quiz indeed. It's such a comforting thought that you'll always have Oman, Qatar and Yemen right in these kinds of quizzes.

	A few thoughts: regarding sporcle regular use, I would rank higher USA, micronesia (under f) though a bonus could be FYROM.

	urban_nomad:	Oct 3rd, 2009 at 17:16 GMT		2 points
	Yes, USA is definitely longer than UAE.

	thanks guys, i've changed the answer for U and for F.

	What about "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"? for U?

	fish does have a point, if we are being technical. But a really excellent quiz. Took me a minute to get multiple names going, but really nice when I got the concept - do more!

	Ivory Coast should at least be a bonus answer.

	duneraider64:	Oct 24th, 2009 at 22:42 GMT		0 points
	The People's Republic of China should also be a bonus answer.

	Sneuticles:	Oct 24th, 2009 at 22:51 GMT		3 points
	hmmm... i thought sporcle convention was to refer to FSOM as simply "Micronesia." Great quiz!

	Title is a little confusing. I thought I had to enter my answers without spaces.

	ig1234:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 00:06 GMT		0 points
	FYROM > FSOM

	tbh444:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 00:20 GMT		2 points
	yes for consistency Micronesia should not be under F. Also convention is to allow 'rep congo'

	RS89:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 08:38 GMT		1 point
	you should really allow United States for USA

	CRL1811:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 09:20 GMT		3 points
	thanks for all the comments, ill try and fix everything...

	yodabutter5000:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 10:02 GMT		4 points
	Ah, reading through the comments explains why Micronesia is a bonus answer and Finland is under F. You forgot to change the "Length" for the F answer from 27 to 7. I was looking forward to seeing what F country had 27 letters other than Micronesia. I even tried FYROM.

	D3nn1s:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 13:14 GMT		1 point
	Oh dear... I forgot my own country. No wonder it's least guessed.

	bsd987:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 15:10 GMT		1 point

	quite inaccurate seeing as although a bonus, uk has more letters than usa so it should be in the quiz as a right answer

	adam999:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 10:50 GMT		1 point
	missed jamaica and vatican city i kep trying vietnam venezuela vanuatu

	nitpicker:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 20:57 GMT		1 point
	not sure you need 2 "K" answers; why not accept either one?

	Pit_trout:	Feb 12th, 2010 at 22:44 GMT		2 points
	DRC, Papua New Guinea, and Kyrgyzstan. This quiz has all the best Sporcle countries!

	too much time, otherwise, great.

	I am not sure that the game is consistent but surely 'The United Kingdon of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' is longer than USA? It should also be clear in the rules if 'The' is not part of the country name, which of course, it is. North Vietnam calls itself 'The Democratic Republic of Vietnam' (and let's face it, countries are allowed to make-up their own names) so you open up a can-o-worms when you include their own perceived, rather than 'given' names.
