Let's be honest... Who typed in random countries after a while?

This is a quiz where you really should have to match your answer with the hint. Otherwise, you can just guess major countries and get a fairly sizable share right with out really knowing anything about the world leaders of 2000, which is ostensibly what this quiz is about.

Interesting quiz. Would be far more challenging if the answers were leader specific. I just ran off about 100 countries off the top of my head and got 47 of 50.

Answers need to be guessed specific to each name. Otherwise it's just like naming the countries of the world.
