	I'm not sure whether this should be a speed test and only give you 3 minutes or if I should tack on one more. Give me some feedback.

	there should be more time and "United States of America" should be included.

	TEXAJC:	Feb 17th, 2010 at 21:48 GMT		5 points
	what about "United States of America".

	HiddenPalace:	Feb 17th, 2010 at 21:51 GMT		3 points
	One more minute would be good. Also, accept "St" for Saint - I wasted valuable time over that, and it's accepted in other quizzes.

	^it goes by United States on Sporcle

	Can you please accept St for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Kitts and Nevis? Other than that, great work!!!

	@HiddenPalace and Happysunshine: its already been changed. Thanks for letting me know

	Really liked the quiz. Maybe you should accept either Switzerland or Netherlands though. They both have 11 letters, unless you're counting "The".

	I do accept Switzerland for Netherlands, it just doesn't show. If there was a tie, I went alphabetically, but I still accepted all the countries that had that amount of letters to keep the columns even.

	I think you should allow more time. You should considder that all these names take some time just for typing. Other than that, good quiz.

	the full name of the United States is United States of America, so I don't see why it shouldn't count

	meowfish:	Feb 18th, 2010 at 16:37 GMT		2 points
	If we go by full names then, for example, Libya would be 'The Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiraya', and the UK 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. Going by commonly accepted names is probably best. Excellent game, was kind of tense with the timer but i enjoyed it.

	raiders:	Feb 18th, 2010 at 20:14 GMT		1 point
	I disagree with above. USA is the common name and should be on the North America list.

	good quiz more time

	Penguins:	Feb 18th, 2010 at 22:29 GMT		1 point
	i would suggest including a note that the commonly used names are used, not the official names....it might clear up some confusion. Other than that good quiz

	dtro:	Feb 19th, 2010 at 04:51 GMT		3 points
	What is it about the Philippines? That was the only one I missed.

	dsteele:	Feb 19th, 2010 at 08:50 GMT		4 points
	I would suggest you somehow indicate Switzerland / Netherlands as a tie more clearly (perhaps make the first answer "Switzerland or Netherlands") - at first when I typed Switzerland, and "Netherlands" popped up, I thought maybe it was a botched bit of data.

	I typed in the Vatican and the netherlands came up ?
