	Um... what about St Kitts and Nevis?

	redsimba88:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 07:00 GMT	33 points
	You forgot St. Kitts and Nevis.

	yankeessuck8991:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 07:02 GMT	22 points
	What they^^ said.

	montecarlo:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 07:05 GMT	51 points
	i feel the capital hint makes this way too easy, but maybe thats just me.

	Niques:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 07:11 GMT	36 points
	As well as Saint Kitts, what about the Netherlands?

	Timothy:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 08:34 GMT	14 points
	Way too much time, 1 or 2 minutes would be more appropriate.

	Daffidovic:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 09:09 GMT	30 points
	If you're bent on using the the official name (as is the case of the Bahamas), then I guess the following are missing as well: Union of the Comoros, Republic of the Fiji Islands, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Kingdom of the Netherlands (as mentioned above), Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis (as mentioned above), Republic of the Sudan, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and State of the Vatican City. I must point out that the source of these is Wikipedia. Not much for a research, I am.

	moley_15:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 12:36 GMT	9 points
	@Daffidovic: I think I'm somewhere in between what you said and what the quizmaker has allowed. I definitely think that the Bahamas should be in there as that is its common name (at least it is in the UK), but it definitely needs to include St. Kitts and Nevis (no-brainer), and the Netherlands (which is a similar case to the Bahamas). As for the others, I don't think they're in common enough parlance to warrant a place on this quiz. I agree that the capitals clue should be gotten rid of too.

	Boomhauer:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 13:20 GMT	6 points
	The UK?

Comment below threshold: show it

	JDass:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 15:04 GMT	12 points
	You have quite a few 'the' countries missing. Also I suggest ones such as 'the Federated States of Micronesia' and 'The Marshall Islands' are added as bonuses? Also whereas 'Trinidad and Tobago' has to all be written out, 'Bosnia' is enough to accept the answer? Consistency is important! Great quiz idea though.

	y2jdilemma:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 15:38 GMT	21 points
	Very inconsistent. If we're talking full names, ummm THE United States of America?

	max123:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 16:43 GMT	5 points
	yeah, apart from the ones already said what about dem rep of the congo? i dont think you should include full names but coutries used on sporcle

	HPZ:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 17:37 GMT	1 point
	I'm with montecarlo. On Sporcle you really have to assume that your audience has already mastered the national capitals. If the quiz is about "The" or "And," leave the hints out.

	WindSword:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 17:46 GMT	4 points
	Bosnia counts for Bosnia and Herzegovina but DRC doesn't count?

	dodsface:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 17:48 GMT	0 points
	capital hint needs to go! u need to add the ones that are missing and be consistant, i also think officail names should not be used and although i agree that we say, "the bahamas" or "the netherlands" i do not think they should be used in thiz quiz, because they are not referred to like that in other sporcle quizes, unlike 'The Gambia' as it is freaquently called on sprocle. Good idea, poor attempt.

	theurbanmapper:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 18:16 GMT	37 points
	I think El Salvador would make a fun bonus.

	Paul91:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 18:39 GMT	-2 points
	agree with above st kitts and nevis? bad bad quiz, naughty naughty

	jomigode:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 18:49 GMT	1 point
	Bad Quizz, St Kitts and Nevis??? Time is too much

	Platypus222:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 18:55 GMT	2 points
	Does The Vatican count?

	BamaGuy:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 19:41 GMT	1 point
	i agree w/ what has been said. st. kitts and nevis is a no brainer. and @theurbanmapper read my mind, El Salvador should be a bonus

	brianmcp:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 22:35 GMT	23 points
	What about The Iraq and everywhere like such as?

Comment below threshold: show it

	Wing:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 23:23 GMT	5 points
	The United States of America, The United Kingdom, The People's Republic of China....etc. If you are going to go with proper names, then this quiz is way to short. If you want to go with common names, that's fine, but 10 mins is waaaay too long.

	Anonymous42:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 23:59 GMT	5 points
	@gillian: I believe brianmcp is referring to an ill-delivered (and conceived, for that matter) answer to a question in a beauty contest by Miss Teen California. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just search for it on YouTube.

	amusemental:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 00:39 GMT	-1 points
	This is terrible.

	gqb:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 00:52 GMT	6 points
	When writing "and" in a title, it is not capitalized. For example, St. Kitts and Nevis, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

	Benjid:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 01:23 GMT	1 point
	too much time

	icing:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 01:40 GMT	4 points
	I typed St. Kitts and Nevis until my head nearly exploded. They are recognized everywhere else on Sporcle. St. Vincent is generally mentioned stand-alone, without the other islands, which are properly spelled the "Grenadines". Great quiz, but might want to get it edited next time.

	BingKafei:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 01:53 GMT	2 points
	Missed St. Kitts and Nevis; Bosnia alone should not be enough for Bosnia and Herzegovina. You misspelled "grenadines" with St. Vincent, you should have "The People's Republic of China" for bonus...not a bad try, but you need more research

	biskutt:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 02:27 GMT	3 points
	i was excited about this quiz but severely let down. missing several countries, and the set up makes it far too easy. don't need to give hints on this sort of quiz.

	robbie_keane:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 03:30 GMT	27 points
	how about ANDorra....a ha a ha a ha

	Robert_Seth:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 03:43 GMT	-2 points
	this is like ridiculously bad

	fatbeard:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 05:49 GMT	2 points
	i acknowledge that what robbie_keane said is a joke, but honestly, the first thing I tried was icelAND. Find a way to disinguish that you're just looking for the words, seperately.

	finch:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 10:41 GMT	1 point
	As has been said st kitts and nevis and the netherlands are missing. Also, I feel the idea of adding andorra, finland, iceland etc is a good one. And the capitals make it two easy.

	Neostinker:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 13:35 GMT	2 points
	you could have some bonuses a lot of people say The Ukraine, The Vatican, UK.

	banana:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 14:22 GMT	2 points
	another one for st kitts and nevis - i spent ages typing it in in various forms!

	nickisposh:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 18:53 GMT	1 point
	st kitts and nevis the marshall islands the maldives the netherlands the federated states of micronesia the vatican city the former yugoslav republic of macedonia the united states of america the united kingdom the united arab emirates

	peanut4:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 20:43 GMT	4 points
	How about United Kingdom of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland? Or The Netherlands? Ten minutes is also way too long.

	miyomiyo1:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 21:04 GMT	1 point
	The Carribean has always been my favorite continent.
