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.

One more minute would be good. Also, accept "St" for Saint - I wasted valuable time over that, and it's accepted in other quizzes.

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

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.

I disagree with above. USA is the common name and should be on the North America list.

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

What is it about the Philippines? That was the only one I missed.

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.
