There is at least one country from every inhabited continent. Some continents have more than others, namely because there are some continents where most countries have the same name (or something REALLY close) in Czech and English. Please give me feedback!

Nice mix. It's nice to see you didn't back down from having Cote d'Ivoire. Other quizzes seem afraid to use African nations.

I agree, really nice mix. This one was a lot more challenging than a lot of the quizzes along these lines.

"Velká Británie" literally means "Great Britain" rather than "United Kingdom." I think this is okay, given that this name is sometimes used (rather loosely) in Czech to refer to the whole U.K., but in that case it would make sense to accept "Great Britain" as an answer. ("United Kingdom" would be "Spojené království," and the full name of the country is "Spojené království Velké Británie a Severního Irska.")

Recko floored me (Sorry, I can't type the hácek on Recko. Sorry, I can't type the hácek on hácek. Sorry, I can't type...) But I got Pobrezí slonoviny remembering that in Russian "slon" means "elephant" (it's also the bishop in chess, but as there isn't a country named Chess Bishop Coast, there was no doubt). Excellent quiz.

Elephant is the term for the Chess Bishop. So is in Turkish!

@ulashima: chess was invented in India and it represents a battle between two Indian armies; you have pawns (infantry), knights (cavalry), rooks (originally, war chariots)... and elephants. It makes much more sense than having a bishop in the middle of a battlefield. (By the way, the queen was originally the great vizier. Again, it's much more logical to have a minister of the king, and not a queen, in a battlefield).

I meant that in Turkish we call bishop as elephant too. And the Grand Vizier thing is so. We've taken chess straight out of India (or maybe through Persia) so the original terms prevail in Turkish.

Nemecko comes from the Slavic for "mute" since Germans couldn't understand Slavic languages ... some traditional antagonism there.

@dancastro, @ulashima: yep, apparently the “bishop” thing came from reinterpreting the cloven top of the piece — originally, stylized elephant-tusks — as a bishop’s mitre, when it reached lands where bishops were (sadly) better-known than elephants.

Why is Ivory Coast (which I just read about in the comments) no longer there? That seems like a pretty good one. Good quiz. Really enjoyed it.

"Gruzie" made more sense to me for Greece. "Recko"? Not in a million years.

I just read about the silly law passed by the Czech Parliament, banning the use of trampolines anywhere in the country. Apparently, it's illegal to bounce a Czech.

@_the_doctor_ - it is perhaps worth bearing in mind that the Lithuanian name for Lithuania is Lietuva.

@_the_doctor_: no, "Litva" is Lithuania (and not Latvia) in practically all the Slavic languages, and Czech is a Slavic language. There are some spelling variants (like Litwa in Polish) and of course the Cyrillic/Latin alphabets, but the essential form of Lithuania is always "Litva".

Don't downvote the doctor, I'm pretty sure he wasn't serious and was just commenting about how they sound interchangeable and can trip up a lot of people. Also, if I wasn't familiar with "Gruzinia" (the Hebrew word for Georgia), probably would not have guessed it.
