	Both standard pronunciations of Sao Tome and Principe in English are 7 syllables. The standard name in English is Republic of THE Congo, making it 7 syllables. Please accept DRC for Dem Rep Congo.

	Thanks for the feedback marzoz - I fixed both Sao Tome and Principe and Republic of the Congo. I don't know all the common abbreviations so will wait to see if Sporcle publishes it so they can incorporate those.

	Kiribati is, despite the spelling, three syllables. It's pronounced KIR-i-bahs.

	adamnvillani, thanks for the feedback - I was not aware of that - it's been updated.

	finnoztoffee, all the common pronunciations I have found for Australia list it as 3 syllables (aus-trail-yuh) or (o-strail-yuh)

	ajazfam, I agree somewhat, but it depends if you have a city, regional or country accent. I have a regional accent from the north east and we pronounce it with 4 syllables. Most people, if in a meeting or speaking with foreigners would use the 4 as well.
