	Because you KNOW someone is going to say it... where's Wales? LOL.

	When going through the countries of each area in my head, I said several on this list, then thought "nope no W in that". New Zealand, nope. Sweden, nope. Stwupid, yes.

	For once, Papua New Guinea is the least guessed.

	@chikka2 Because you know "Countries containing Z" would bring up everyone's favorite country...

	For the millions of people who cannot pronounce the letter "R" please accept Wussia and Womania. (the second one sounds an interesting place)

	@flick: As a friend and I did this quiz, we kept coming across cities and countries that sounded hilarious as Wome, Wussia, and the like. Thanks for the comment!!!

	@zachisnotfunny, I was going to vote you down, but then I realised I can't persecute you for living up to your screen name. I have to applaud your honesty in choosing that.

	Well under Sporcle definition, Taiwan falls into "a widely recognized country" and therefore is included on the country tests along with Kosovo. The number of countries recognising those are far more than say, North Cyprus or Western Sahara. And about the test, if we had this test like 20 years ago, we would have West Germany and Western Samoa, and 2 default answers.

	Three of the countries I missed were in the top four. I always go straight to the little countries, as if the well-known ones are so obvious that they couldn't POSSIBLY have a W in them.

	I think we should rename the country Kyrgyzstwn. It's pronounceable and would make it the longest country name without a vowel. Somewhat. And on another note, did anyone try something along the lines of Swi lanka or South afwica? I am not entirely sure why I tried :(

	I don't think you should be allowed to do any of these 'country' quizzes until you've completed the 'countries of the world' quiz; that way there'd be no more outraged quiz-takers asking why Tibet, West Indies, Scotland etc. have been left out.

	@jim_alpha: That test is also full of comments asking why an X country is left out etc.

	The first thing I tried was Wales. Not really hard to guess where I live. We really need to learn that we're not an independant country.

	I get Papua New Guinea and Norway, but not Sweden? Ugh, brain.

	One specific area in Africa seems to have a disproportionate number of these countries - I guess the "w" phoneme is more prominent in that area's languages than elsewhere?

	I think Western Sahara should be a bonus, since it is on most maps, even though it is "administered" by Morocco, and the U.N. is still attempting to clarify its standing

	I got Sweden but not Norway. I also considered and rejected New Zealand. My brain is SO not good at this type of quiz, which probably means I should do more of them.

	what about Gondwanaland?

	Anybody else thinking..."Hmmm, if there is an EAST Timor, then..."?

	Life of Brian style- Bwazil, Iswael, Fwance, Wome...

	@cmkeller: not necessarily a w phoneme, but labialized consonants, and the occasional bilabial fricative written with a w

	If Elmer Fudd made this quiz there would be a significantly greater amount of countries on this list.
