| Funny how so many of them are in Europe. I bet it's because the English versions of European country names have had more time to become anglicized, and ending in Y is sort of characteristic of English... |

| I kept thinking, "Mexico City ... Guatemala City ... Kuwait City ... nope, they're all capitals, not countries." But did that make me think of Vatican City?!?! NO! Aaaarrrrgh! Good quiz. |

| but the country is called vatican, and the capital is vatican city... so that one shouldn't count. |

| actually, the name IS vatican city, because the territory is a city state, so they share the same name. its just that "vatican" is a commonly accepted abbreviation on sporcle quizzes to differentiate between talking about the state and the city |

| I got 7 countries in less than 1 minute, but didn't think at the last ( Vatican City ). In my opinion, it would be better with Vatican City as a bonus answer. |

| I think officially the country is Vatican City State, but obviously 'state' is routinely not used, so I'd say Vatican City is perfectly acceptable. |

| I tried thinking of obscure African and Asian countries so much that I ended up forgetting Italy, in true Sporcle fashion. |

| Trumped by Vatican CITY. Because every Sporcle quiz accepts "Vatican", I'd forgotten it has a full name. |

| 2 minutes is ages on this, could probably be 1 minute to make it a bit more challenging. Nice little quick quiz! |

| Seems to me Vatican shouldn't be taken without its full name since Vatican ends with "n" |
