	While in the middle of playing, I read expat's comment on missing all the republics. Time ran out and I missed one answer, and wouldn't you know it, I missed Central African Republic. Haha, whoops.

	Good quiz, Perplexity! A nice level of challenginess. One or two minor things could be straightened out: for example, allowing 'rep' instead of having to type out the full 'republic'; also on that note, how far are you prepared to stretch the republic/general-extraneous-words-with-a-P idea? Peoples' Democratic Republic of China, Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia...that sort of thing. Other than that, good work!

	republic of china? (taiwan)

	and yeah almost every country has republic somewhere in their "official" title. (federal republic of Germany, the French Republic, etc) so it's such a grey area, tough idea for a quiz

	That's why it says "COMMON NAME", aka you would say "Taiwan" or "Germany", neither of which have a P in it

	well it accepted CHINA. if you are going to accept china then you have to accept them all. And it was a response to AHGRs comment anyway, so shut it

	Why no Republic of Ireland? I think that's the official "Sporcle" name for it isn't it?

	Isn't the common name for Republic of the Congo just Congo on Sporcle quizes?

	I lol'd so hard at the bonus answer!!!

	Well following published Sporcle quizzes, no its not just Congo its "Republic of the Congo". Its not Republic of Ireland, its just "Ireland". Countries with "republic" in their name on Sporcle have it for clarity. You can't just say Congo cause it refers to two countries, Central Africa wouldn't work for obvious reasons, czech republic has no common name, and the dominican republic is different from the island of dominica. Any other countries that has republic should be a bonus answer.

	Fun quiz! "P" was a surprisingly difficult letter to hunt for!

	FreakyFlyBry:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 00:21 GMT	1 point
	Got Cape Verde and Sao Tome and Principe, but missed Nepal, Singapore and Ethiopia. True Sporclism at its best!

	Is there a common accepted abbreviation for the Republic of the Congo? Most quizzes don't seem to accept one, even though DRC, CAR, UAE US/USA, UK etc are generally accepted.
