	Nice idea, but I disagree with some: If Indonesia and Croatia are 4, why are Australia and St. Lucia not 3? Same letter structure. A better approach would be to consider whether the is normally pronounced as Yuh (1 syllable) as in Australia or Ee-uh (2 syllables) as in Austria. Noting that British pronunciation is sometimes different than American or the local (Austaylyur in Melbourne). I guessed Ivory Coast but the accepted name is Cote D'Ivoire (which has 3 syllables). But no matter how you look at it, Timor Leste is four syllables and should be included.

	There will no doubt be differing points of view on this subject, as I cannot appease all dialects, but I've done my best. I made a note to say "consider alternate pronunciations". I've included Timor-leste, but east timor will not be accepted because it is 3 syllables.

	Kiribati has 3 syllables, it is pronounced "ki-ri-bas", "ki-ri-ba-ti" is incorrect. Also I've never heard anyone say "cro-ay-tee-ah" instead of "cro-ay-sha" or "saint lu-see-ah" instead of "saint lu-sha", but I suppose people could pronounce them that way. If those are included I would suggest "gee-or-gee-ah" and "ma-lay-zee-ah" should as well.

	Great quiz overall though!

	croatia & st lucia are only 3 syllables cro-a-tia saint-lu-cia

	Yeah, not bad overall. I disagree with Croatia and Tunisia (both undeniably only three syllables), and having Kiribati on here is just wrong. Saint Lucia is marginal and could go either way. I'd also remove Ivory Coast, since that's not the Sporcle-standard name of the country.

	Sorry, I had no idea about Kiribati's pronunciation; it's fixed now. I also disagree with Croatia and Tunisia, but I found pronunciations online as 4 syllables, so I included them. I said 'consider alternate pronunciations'.
