	The answer that appears for Switzerland is Svirza, which I suppose is a typo for "Svizra", the Romansch name. However, being Romansch the less spoken official language, I think that it would be better to show the German Schweiz as answer (I entered it and was accepted, however). Also Suisse and Svizzera could be accepted. And I'm surprised that only 72% so far guessed that the local name of the United Kingdom is... United Kingdom.

	Great idea for a quiz! You should also accept Belgien for Belgium (German is an official language too), and citta del Vaticano or Civitas Vaticana for Vatican City.

	Austria should be Österreich. Great quiz, however!

	And Iceland should be Ísland. Really, we're just nitpicking: otherwise a solid quiz.

	Some of the foreign names don't seem to work. I typed in several, but they weren't accepted. Also, Helvetica or Confoederatio Helvetica, is the official name of Switzerland. It's on the stamps, too.

	What about Kıbrıs for Cyprus? Turkish is also official in Cyprus and spoken by a large percentage of the population.
