	You forgot Bosnia-Herzegovina. Also, isn't Vatican the country and Vatican City the "capital." I know it's all one entity, more or less, but Vatican is usually acceptable on Sporcle quizzes. Thus, the answer might be ambiguous.

	It would be Bosnia and Herzegovina making it three words. I agree on Vatican and Cote D'ivorie.

	If "the" doesn't count in "The Gambia," should "El" really count in El Salvador?

	it is bosnia-herzegovina (hyphenated), thus, accepting guinea-bissau and not b-h is sort of contradictory

	@XiscoKid9 - Sporcle's name is Bosnia and Herzegovina, so no, it shouldn't be here. But where is Cote d'Ivoire?

	the gambia. and the d in cote d'ivoire stands for the a third word word 'de'

	moviegoer74:	Sep 21st, 2010 at 16:30 GMT		12 points
	The d in Cote d'Ivoire does stand for a third word, but in English "don't" is one word, not two. I would think it's the same for French contractions. And in any event, the quiz uses East Timor instead of Timor Leste so by the logic of the quiz, he should be using Ivory Coast anyway.

	@several above: The local (short form) name of the country is Bosna i Hercegovina, which translates to Bosnia and Herzegovina. No hyphen, three words. Karinaedge is correct with regard to Cote d'Ivoire: also three words. And although Sporcle generally accepts Gambia and Vatican, technically they are The Gambia and Vatican City, so they should both be included - or both excluded per Sporcle standard.

	I think 'East Timor' should be a bonus answer since Timor-Leste is the preferred name.

	(@moviegoer74, d'Ivoire is not a contraction, it is an example of elision.)
