	I was about to ask how only 2.8% of people got South Sudan when the quiz is forced alphabetical, then I realized that this is an older quiz that was updated. >_

	Alphabetical Africa is always fun, on par with another Walter Abish book, How German Is It?

	Can we please have the same abbreviations that are accepted on EVERY other Africa quiz? Dem Rep Congo - saves time typing.

	Cote D'Ivoire is the standard on every single Sporcle quiz.

	It would have been much easier if one was allowed to work backward.

	@pangloss: …and further to what @monstro said, the reason “Côte d’Ivoire” is standard on Sporcle (and in most formal contexts) is because their government specifically requests that the name should be kept is and not translated into other languages.

	Myanmar says the same thing; doesn't mean you must obey.

	Should we start using "Sri Jayawardenepura Kotta" for Colombo because of who won the civil war/insurrection?

	catherinelucia:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 15:17 GMT	3 points
	@shakescene Colombo is the commercial capital and is not the same city as Sri Jayawardenepura Kotta...

	Thought it was beastly getting through the M's ... until I got to the S's. Challenging, but strangely fun.

	Why is the only country on this website represented in its countries name it is really annoying its name is ivory coast starts with an I not a c

	I notice people say Cote D'Ivoire is standard on every Sporcle quiz a lot, the same with Kosovo, Taiwan and many other examples, it's just a shame that Sporcle doesn't deal in facts. Ivory Coast is the English name for the country and should be the correct answer in an English language quiz.

	Cote d'Ivoire is standard in my atlas and on my wall map of the world as well. Why should Sporcle deviate from that?

	dionysius:	Aug 27th, 2011 at 01:41 GMT	5 points
	I rarely hear it referred to as Ivory Coast. This is simply an English translation, but we don't translate country names such as Sao Tome and Principe. The country's name was officially changed to Cote D'Ivoire in 1985 and the government has requsted that it be referred to as such - why be so egocentric and use the English translation then? The English name for the country is Republic of Cote D'Ivoire; even the Encyclopedia Britannica says so.

	@caramba, could "Rep of Congo" be accepted? :)
