	You could cut the time down to a minute. Ivory Coast should be Cote d'Ivoire.

	far too much time

	Good idea for a first quiz, enjoyed trying to work out the 'W'! If you indicate the 'I' with a similarly asterisk this will negate confusion.Also agree with the others, far too much time allowed. Good luck with future Sporcle Quizzes.

	Did it in under a minute with one exception because I couldn't think of any country beginning with I, & I was correct! Cote D'Ivoire is the countries official name. Please take the I out.

	about 8 minutes too many

	You should allow one minute tops. Any geography Sporcler can do this at least 50 seconds, if not less. Either get rid of Ivory Coast or give it an asterisk like W. Although I don't even see why Western Sahara is on here. It's not a country, so why is it debatable? You won't find it on any other Sporcle geography quiz.

	Agree about the time, it took me less than 50 seconds as I'm sure it did many others, good quiz but would be better if we were forced to think quickly.

	You should accept 'Democratic Republic of the Congo' for D. That's my standard D country, I went nuts trying to remember Djibouti.

	I typed in "Seychelles" and "Sudan" popped up.

	WredAguyW - The SADR is recognized and has diplomatic relations with 81 different countries. Which is more than Kosovo and Taiwan. Its also a member of the African Union. Just because its not recognized by the West doesn't mean it not a country.

	The Gambia starts with a T.

	@Tautology: The quiz does accept just 'DRC,' but it I second that it should also accept the full name. I'm not sure why you wouldn't just type 'DRC,' though. @ld1186: Sudan is just and example country for the letter 'S.' Notice that when you type 'Zimbabwe,' 'Zambia' pops up. @hotsauce_gm:Typically preceding articles ('a,' 'an' and 'the') are ignored when alphabetizing things, thus making 'The Gambia' fall under 'G.' @KajuMoose: 'Ivory Coast' and 'Western Sahara' should be removed. Western Sahara (as previously mentioned) is part of Morocco, and the Ivorian government requests being referred to as Côte d'Ivoire, not the English translation (although it is still commonly used, but not officially).
