	awesome quiz!

	Wow, some of these I could only guess by finding countries I hadn't used yet. I knew about .ch, but codes like .hr, .si and .ee had me thinking for a while.

	@okapi, that would probably be due to the fact that Kosovo doesn't have it's own domain code.

	Very fun!

	Switzerland's CH comes from 'Confoederatio Helvetica' which is apparently its full name. I found that out while visiting Switzerland & seeing CH stickers everywhere... I always wondered where the word Helvetica came from...

	and hr comes from Hrvatska, which is Croatia in Croatian.

	and ee comes from Eesti, which is Estonia in Estonian. (Estonian is a language similar to Finnish, that also has double vowels everywhere). I suppose that when Estonia was assigned a code, .es was already taken by Spain (España).

	I have to admit, I tried Estonia first for Es.

	.rs was not at all obvious, took a bit of working out! Nice quiz though.

	Get 44 by using process of elimination; miss Serbia and Montenegro... I'd tried Kosovo for both.

	@Houyhnhnm, I don't see how this is stupid.

	Beatlezfann:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 01:02 GMT	5 points
	It got so bad i started guessing elements

	xolkan:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 02:19 GMT	1 point
	wonder why Kosovo doesn't have its own.

	milkmeister:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 07:27 GMT	2 points
	@xolkan It doesn't have a few things according to this article http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,6196330,00.html

	AriesLA:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 07:27 GMT	5 points
	@xolkan: Ask the Russians and Serbs, they can help you with that. I guessed macedonia for every m except mk !!

	WeaselKing1000:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 08:06 GMT	5 points
	@DuckLUFC It's from 'Republika Srbija', or 'Republic of Serbia'.

	Jaccobabe:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 08:35 GMT	1 point
	rs was a bit difficult, but quiz still quite easy. I think 8 minutes is too long. 6 should be more than enough. Of course might be easier for Europeans like myself...

	cuccir:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 09:25 GMT	1 point
	Could have done with a minute or so less; can't believe I got Germany last!

	skaara:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 13:19 GMT	2 points
	Got everything but the Vatican. Tried Vatican, Vatican State and even The Vatican. But I guess the official name is Vatican City ...

	This was a fun quiz! Perhaps this was easier for Europeans, but this American found it quite challenging. That said, how is it that 6.4% of people (at this writing) missed .uk?! I mean, even if you try "Ukraine" first, UK has to pop in your mind once that doesn't work. lol

	transitfan:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 17:41 GMT	2 points
	I know this isn't the quiz's fault, but the E.U. flag symbol on the homepage is misleading (since these aren't all E.U. nations.)

	grover173:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 17:45 GMT	2 points
	American here and I got them all, but just barely. It was quite a challenging quiz; I was very lucky to already know some of the trickiest ones (namely .hr for "Hrvatska", .ee for "Eesti"). I got several correct thanks to, of all things, having a coin collecting hobby, so I knew some of the native-language national names.

	NatAlex92:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 20:58 GMT	1 point
	@xolkan Because Kosovo knows that it would be denied upon application due to insufficient recognition. This article (the part about domains is about half way down) explains it in detail. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,6196330,00.html

	I got slaughtered, but good quiz

	DunKhan:	Dec 16th, 2011 at 13:59 GMT	3 points
	Some unexpectedly challenging ones, though most of them make sense when you think of what the countries call themselves (e.g Croatia -> Hrvastska (I probably misspelled it :P) @transitfan - the EU flag is also the flag of the Council of Europe - of which every European country is a member except Belarus and Kazakhstan. So it's a general European flag as well as being the EU flag :)

	Chen:	Dec 16th, 2011 at 21:40 GMT	5 points
	great quiz! but the color burns in the eye :) would be fun to include some obscure bonus answers - such as .dd (East Germany), .cs (Czechoslovakia), .su (Soviet Union), .ax (Aland), .gg (Guernsey), .im (Isle of Man), etc...

	golaswede:	Dec 19th, 2011 at 19:33 GMT	1 point
	@Chen: And a few more while we're ate it: .kz (transcontinental Kazakhstan), .az (transcontinental Azerbaijan), .ge (transcontinental Georgia), .bv & .sj (the not-in-use-TLDs för Bouvet Island & Svalbard/Jan Mayen), .eu (for EU sites), .fo (for the Faroe Islands), .gb (the unusual UK bonus), .gi (Gibraltar), and .je (Jersey).
