	I was all ready to be a pedantic prick and comment about how the proper Spanish pronunciation of Chile is not 'chilly', but then Party Starter came on in my head and I was emphatically reminded that the proper pronunciation of Big Willie is 'BIG WILLEH!', thus rhyming almost perfectly every way you bend it. Kudos!

	Also, Mali really could use Wall-E. This quiz is blowing my mind.

	Great idea and lots of fun, but "Benin" doesn't actually rhyme with "Lennon."

	I would have gotten the Mediterranean singer far quicker if it had been "Persian king invades strategic island". He actually never did though, in spite of conquering both the Levant and Anatolia.

	Iran usually isn't considered Middle Eastern, but that's a pretty minor flaw in a really creative quiz.

	Isn't there a son called George Bluth in Arrested Development? So he could be "George in Georgia"?

	Curator Pick Flash Bulletin: “MovieGuru in Sporcaluru!!” In other news today, a noted quizmaker invaded the world’s 197th Country, spreading infectious rhyming Word Play.

	@Catherine_F Georgia isn't in Eastern Asia.

	Benin is kind of a tricky one. It is pronounced /bɛˈniːn/ [beh-NEEN] but in the US it is often pronounced /ˈbɛn ɪn/ [BEHN-in]. The other part of the clue is a big help but I foresee this causing problems. Great game though!

	There's a typo in Armstrong's clue, but a fine quiz otherwise.

	The House clue is funny because I actually bought Vicodin in Laos.

	@pete32782: I'm gonna say either the quizmaker has added the "eastern" part since my comment, or I went and confused East and West again.
