	Did anyone NOT go for the strategy of naming all the "stans" first?

	It's interesting that Kyrgyzstan is so popular on Sporcle that it is guessed more often than Uzbekistan despite being five times less populous.

	...and 10 times harder to spell. (Though avid sporclers get lots of practice.)

	Um, hasn't this game already been made? http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/landsandstans

	The other one is 3 times easier though on your typing fingers!

	Only in the Land of Sporcle would so many more people think of Swaziland before Switzerland.

	It's amazing how many of these I missed, even after looking at a map of the world and paying particular attention to Europe to pick out the -lands I still missed Ireland and Switzerland.

	I have a big case of Sporclitis. I guessed almost every country except the most guessed one. (Afghanistan)

	Did not occur to me throughout the whole quiz that "island" ends in "land"

	@potternerd333: thank you for the link to the game that gives more time. Pleased to see the lands and stans put together in one game, since they both mean land.

	I live in Switzerland and I forgot it in this quiz... shame on me

	hilco:	Apr 18th, 2013 at 14:08 GMT		2 points
	@Piou: It's not even that strange, since you'll call it either Schweiz or Suisse. What's more remarkable is that Swaziland is the 3rd most guessed -land country.

	"Go on little buddy! You can do it! I just know you'll get to 100% one day!" I feel like Kyrgyzstan is my Son; I've watched him grow from a fairly unguessed answer in the Countries of the World quiz to the mighty 70%-guessed man that he is today.. brings a tear to my eye :')

	Be honest now, how many of you, in a blind moment of panic, harderned Sporclers or not, guessed Greenland.

	uaruby:	Apr 18th, 2013 at 16:10 GMT		5 points
	Great quiz, but needs more time.

	ostroffj:	Apr 18th, 2013 at 17:28 GMT		4 points
	I typed "Holland", mentally scolded myself for using the wrong name, and never thought to try the right one.

Comment below threshold: show it

	OleStinker:	Apr 18th, 2013 at 18:11 GMT		0 points
	Well, it took me six attempts, but I did it. Another person who found the stans much easier than the lands. Uaruby: the whole point is the short time allotted. Another quiz where you either know it or don't.

	@Potternerd333 & milkmeister- Now you tell me??? (Oh well...)

	Nintenjoe:	Apr 18th, 2013 at 19:49 GMT		2 points
	I typed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to get a bonus but sadly it wasn't there. Vote up for its addition.

	Oops I tried Maryland...

	spoyledbratt:	Apr 18th, 2013 at 20:30 GMT		-1 points
	Need. More. Time.

	are203:	Apr 18th, 2013 at 21:53 GMT		3 points
	I spend about 30 seconds thinking I spent "Azerbaijan" wrong

	for the third of people who did not get Kyrgyzstan, shame on you

	Lizn90:	Apr 19th, 2013 at 01:34 GMT		2 points
	Can't type fast enough

	Acid_Snow:	Apr 19th, 2013 at 02:22 GMT		-1 points
	I did the -stans first and got them all... I'd had to do a project on Central Asian and got them down.

	lush:	Apr 19th, 2013 at 15:27 GMT		2 points
	jesus, i spent half the quiz trying to spell Kyrgyzstan only to find out i already got it

	ditto21688:	Apr 19th, 2013 at 20:16 GMT		-3 points
	You forgot "Pakistan."

	DaneOfScandinavy:	Apr 20th, 2013 at 15:19 GMT		1 point
	Could Deutschland be a bonus answer?

	shel99:	Apr 21st, 2013 at 00:09 GMT		1 point
	Couldn't get "Graceland" out of my head.

	Islands does not end in land. It ends in lands.

	RobPro:	May 30th, 2013 at 13:49 GMT		1 point
	"and 'land/s'" ^^
