	oooo the e is silent.

	Thank you for including Timor Leste and Cote d'Ivoire despite their more common English spellings! I'm sure all the Sporcle users from those countries appreciate it too. All my East Timor and Ivory Coast quiz takers holler!

	I missed France and Ukraine but got Sao Tome and Principe, a country with less people than the voices inside my head.

	I wonder if there will every be a shortage of Geography quizzes. Unlikely. Mark my words: we will one day have a quiz called "Can you name the countries who's tenth letter--corresponding to the number associated with the alphabetical order to which it is positioned--is the square root of the corresponding alphabetical position of it's first letter?"

	Of the ones I got were Cote d'Ivoire, Timor Leste, and Cape Verde. Yet somehow France escaped me. I'm beginning to think something is wrong in my head.

	Why isn't Sao Tome et Principe accepted?

	i'm surprised more people got chile than france, haha. france was my first guess. then again, i'm a francophile so france is my first guess for everything.

	Tough. But by working through "e" sounds in my head across the globe, I think "countries ending in 'I'" is going down when it eventually emerges!

	Good quiz. :D

	I just took the quiz in which France is stated as the no.1 country in Sporcle quizzes. You'd never guess which country I didn't get in this one... d'oh!

	Just a question, and vote me down if you feel it necessary, but while Cote d'Ivoire and Timor Leste are indeed the way the inhabitants of the country spell and say their names, should we make it that way for every place. For example, Italians call the 2006 Winter Olympic city Torino, yet those who speak English call it Turin...where do you draw the line? (And this is an innocent question)

	As a Chilean I'm so proud that Chile is the most guessed answer. Missed Cote d'Ivoire... Sad since i always write it this way in the other quizzes. Hhaha... agree completly with Loona! But looking forward to it!

	Democratic Republic of the Congo was called Zaïre up to 1997.

	@Carlos: Timor-Leste and Cote d'Ivoire are the official English-language names of those countries. My understanding is that this is not the case for Turin/Naples/Germany/most of the other European places that have different names in their native languages.

	@smarty - even for quizzes like 'Which country won the war'?

	Great quiz1 I got really excited I was going to get them all,but fell short by the least 3 guessed. BTW isn't it Cape Verde Islands? (desperately tries to improve score)

	smarty:	Nov 6th, 2009 at 10:52 GMT	1 point
	@darth_shrimper yep, especially the one about the 100 year war.

	kelil:	Nov 6th, 2009 at 11:16 GMT	6 points
	@smarty in the hundred years war the English won the majority of the battles and the French only claimed a victory when the English got bored and went home :)

	Great quiz, but needs another minute. Very hard to do in so little time - 11/14.

	Havok3595:	Nov 6th, 2009 at 11:19 GMT	10 points
	Unlike most other countries, Cote d'Ivoire and Timor-Leste have made declarations that they wish their names to NOT be translated to other languages for use by other countries. India relatively recently did a similar thing with city names, which is why Bombay went back to being Mumbai, etc.

	10/14 That's the better I can do when I juste wake up.

	smarty:	Nov 6th, 2009 at 11:38 GMT	-3 points
	@kelil the english may have won the majority (something like 17 english battles won against 15 french won) but it doesn't matter because the overall result was a french victory, and the french won the most important ones anyway. in any case, the french are lovers, not fighters. =)

	UAE as a bonus maybe?

	some_guy:	Nov 6th, 2009 at 14:04 GMT	-4 points
	Maybe Holy See as a bonus answer?

	@theDutchess; because 'et' is French, and Sao Tome isn't.
