	Thanks for that. I've corrected that now.

	I was this close to giving up on the last remaining blank...which I finally realized was the UK. I feel like such an idiot.

	Great quiz..... got em all, only because there was so much time. I could've gone and had a beer and had minutes to spare. But great idea, gave me an idea on a new quiz.

	As they are in alphabetical order, and you've given us the continent as well, I think you can shave quite a bit off the time - I had over 7 minutes left and I'm by no means an expert on the Commonwealth!! Brilliant idea for a quiz tho ... am really interested as to what the other bous answers are (got 3)

	Thanks for your comments everyone. I'm a fairly slow typer, so I had it set to such a large time as a leftover from when I was testing the quiz. I've reduced the limit to ten now. :-)

	I cant believe I forgot the UK. What is wrong with me? This is just like when I forgot Voldemort on the "Participants in the Battle of Hogwarts" quiz.

	Good quiz! I made a similar one a while ago which includes all territories and dependencies as well (in the form of Commonwealth Games teams): http://www.sporcle.com/games/QuizKingJon/commonwealth_games_teams

	Great quiz, though I doubt you need to so generous on the time, and also on what you accept for some of the answers, e.g. accepting "Antigua" for "Antigua and Barbuda." I'd recommend forcing the user to enter all of a country's name in these multi-word cases, except of course for St. Vincent and the Grenadines, for which "St. Vincent" always seems to be accepted on Sporcle.

	Good quiz - I had a minute to go. I'd agree about keeping to the convention of countries names found elsewhere on Sporcle.

	Thanks for all your feedback guys. :) I've removed some of the accepted answers, but I don't personally think that ten minutes is "generous" for thinking of and typing 52 countries (+ bonuses). I've reduced it to 8 mins anyway. :-D

	Quiz updated today, based on news released today from the CHOGM in Trinidad and Tobago. ;)

	nah you should except shortened versions i reckon, like antigua, because if the person is typing it in they know what they're trying to say anyway. and also, got rwanda :D
