	As usual, any suggestions, complaints, etc. are welcomed. Wasn't sure what to do with time on this one, so advice there would be appreciated

	One good comment deserves another, Fatbeard. I was jsut thinking of making this quiz yesterday, so how did I miss 2? How about FYROM as a bonus? Or the almost universally unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus?

	Demp Rep of Congo would be nice. And I feel like a complete tool for not getting USA.

	Five stars, man! Great quiz. Really made me think. Not sure about the time limit, but I would've appreciated one more minute. Even going through all the countries in my head, I still never made it all the way around the world. Stumped me good!

	@caramba, i love the bonus ideas. both are in now. @nomuny12, added a few more alternatives for DRC. should be good now @escaho, thanks. added another minute, let me know if that works better

	How did I forget the United States?!? I've only lived here my whole life.

	United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

	fatbeard:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 05:49 GMT		6 points
	I was under the impression that referring to the United Kingdom as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was similar to referring to France as The Republic of France. While yes, it's the official name, it is rarely referred to as such. Is that incorrect? If so, I will immediately change it

	Nice quiz. Time limit is about right. Re: the UK - yes it is almost always known as the United Kingdom, and as such including it as a main answer wouldn't seem right, but it is technically correct, and far more commonly acknowledged than 'Republic of France', 'People's Republic of China' etc, so perhaps should be included as a bonus answer.

	Agree with not including titles 'Repulic of', 'Democratic Republic of' or 'Kingdom of' with maybe a couple of exceptions The Republic of Ireland which it is often called to distinguish it from Northern Ireland, and The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia again used to distinguish it from the Greek province wqith the same name. There may be more but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

	United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland should be at least a bonus.

	no Democratic People's Republic of Korea?

	zigra:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 15:44 GMT		0 points
	Good quiz - my only (minor) complaint is that I got the first three - DRC, Eq guinea, and USA - that popped up in what appeared to be alphabetical order, then got really confused about the last two. Did I miss a note saying that they were in random order? Or am I just thinking of lame excuses because I missed the last two ;)

	When am I going to learn, ALWAYS guess Equatorial Guinea?

	@peanut4: I made it a bonus. I'm still not sure about it being an official answer, can't seem to get definite answers online about how official the name is. But it definitely makes sense to have it up there for a bonus. @zigra: I have the answers set to random, but I guess because there's so few answers, there's a decent chance it'll at least start in alphabetical order. Which really sucks. But not sure how to fix that issue

	Perhaps Russian Federation as a bonus?

	Jig:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 18:59 GMT		1 point

	Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus doesn't have any 'a' in it as far as I can see? And a is a vowel, I'm quite sure of that actually.

	starrynight:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 20:53 GMT		2 points
	Mozambique - neat has one of each. The small things entertain me. :)

	fatbeard:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 21:51 GMT		2 points
	wow. alright, first of all, @evanna, yeah. i feel stupid. i don't know how i saw an A in that, but that's no longer a bonus. and @hooby, People's Republic of China is now a bonus, but as with the UK of GB and I, it seems bizarre to include it with the main answers since, while the official name, that is rarely how it is referred to. @starrynight, not only does mozambique only have one of each, but it manages to do it without any extra words like 'republic'. Definitely one of the cooler country names

	I spent the longest time trying to correct my spelling of Bosnia and Herzegovina before noticing it had no U. Nice quiz; it was quite difficult considering my mind kept reverting to Madagascar for some reason.

	Republic of China? (Taiwan)

	fatbeard:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 02:54 GMT		1 point
	Given that Republic of China is never actually referred to as the Republic of China on sporcle quizzes, and always as Taiwan, it would be unfair to assume that people would think of it

	rpblc f the mrshall islands should be a bonus answer

	i think its good as is... formal names do not equal actual names.
