	Saudi Arabia is spelt wrong.

	Also, shouldn't countries like The Gambia be included? At least as a bonus? Since ones like Trinidad and Tobago aren't in the list, you're obviously counting short words like 'and' as a word so 'the' should be counted too.

	Bosnia-Herzegovina?

	Usually can't you do UK for United Kingdom?

Comment below threshold: show it

	Saudi Arabia spelling corrected. Bosnia-Herzegovina is a colloquial term. Official name includes is 3 words. The Gambia and another country to be included as bonus countries, but no change in time limit. Appreciate your comments. Thanks!

	btw, how did you come across the game? i just created it today and cannot find it using the search function. thanks for your response. p.s. was tempted to allow abbreviations such as UK when creating the game, but decided that the fairest policy would be for all countries to be fully spelled. otherwise, have to accept DR for Dominican Republic and so on. Hope this helps.

	What about the netherlands?

	ctcowboy:	Nov 7th, 2009 at 19:32 GMT	1 point
	The term "The Netherlands" is not used in the source material whereas "The Gambia" and "The Bahamas" are. This may not please some, but most will understand that a line had to be drawn somewhere. Thanks for your comment.

	Isn't Cote d'Ivoire actually three words? It would have been Cote de Ivoire, but because the word after de begins with a vowel, they are sticked together with an apostrophe

	binkster:	Dec 21st, 2009 at 22:27 GMT	0 points
	good quiz - I agree with Onno on Cote d'ivoire, but it would probably cause more grief to exclude it than include it. @chocolatl, USA is at least three words, maybe four (depending on whether you count the "of") so shouldn't be included.

	NYCub:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 05:26 GMT	1 point
	I think that maybe the USA should be included, perhaps as a bonus (since it's often referred to as just "United States"), since the UK is also included. As far as "Cote d'Ivoire" is concerned, no, that's two words. "D'Ivoire" is a contraction, and is one word, just as "it's", "can't", "won't", etc., are all each one word.

	cook islands, french guyana (sp.?), and american samoa should be added.
