	@schulace: Fortunately for you, you have Sporcle to help you out with school. Unfortunately for me, Sporcle was launched after I had already graduated.

	Got to be happy I got the bottom four but not the top one. My mind has been warped by this site

	@reggaeking: England is not a country in anything except certain sports that it invented (soccer, rugby, cricket). In the Olympics it competes as part of Great Britain. People are of British nationality, and have British passport.

	I hate you all... how are you so good at this? 50 percent get andorra, and I couldn't even guess what continent that was on... almost 50 percent get lesotho? screw you, sporclers.

	Why did Iceland and Ireland seem like 6-letter countries in my head?

	@nexus, So if someone from New York says they are a New Yorker, does that make New York a country? I would have liked to have seen the answers in alpha order. I know that makes it too easy for you sporcle geog freaks but you can name all of the countries anyway. For normal humans it would be nice to be able to fill in the gaps rather than randomly roam the globe in your mind trying to fill in the blanks. Cut the time if that's what it takes. By the last minute I had pretty much given up anyway.

	Ack! There were seven different countries that I missed because I thought of them and then mentally miscounted the letters. I can forgive myself Morocco because it's first thing in the morning, but Algeria? Really? Spelled exactly. like. it. sounds. No excuse for miscounting letters there. Argh.

	For some reason I said Ukraine, check, Belarus, nope only 6 letters :( Plus, I always seem to forget Bolivia on Sporcle quizzes...

	mccabebabe:	May 14th, 2010 at 15:04 GMT		0 points
	sigh I get Lesotho and Senegal and Eritrea etc....but I miss Jamaica and Romania and Bahamas. Good lord......

	About this UK thing... in all other published Sporcle quizzes that have to do with countries, the UK is always an answer when it satisfies the criteria, and England, Scotland, and Wales are not. Why should this one be any different?

	Reggaeking - If Football and FIFA were all that was neccesary you'd also have places like Faroe Islands, New Caledonia and Guadaloupe being classed in this bracket. Perhaps nation is a better term to use as country seems to come off rather ambiguous.

	Can we please get one geo quiz without the England vs. UK debate? It's been resolved a zillion times

	BonnieH:	May 14th, 2010 at 17:23 GMT		-3 points
	I only missed 6 and I'm pretty pleased about that. Usually, when asked to actually think ;) of countries in some kind of manner other than the order I memorized them all in for the Countries of the World quiz, I fail miserably. So 35 out of 41 is pretty darn good!

	@ the Engalnd vs. UK debate. I can't believe everyone argues about Engalnd and forgets about Sctalnd and Whalezz! And before you ask...My 'How geography can solve your dyslexia' course is going extremely well.

	got Ireland, missed Iceland. Idiot.

	@steelwolf Yes, Sporclitis. Thank you for the word that explains the unique ability to get the obscure and miss the obvious frequently displayed by Sporclers and usually followed by facepalm. Now I know what to call it...

	Dobbins:	May 14th, 2010 at 18:14 GMT		8 points
	Did anyone else panic in the last minute and start typing in cities?

	hscer:	May 14th, 2010 at 18:15 GMT		0 points
	I propose the next in this series drop the adverb "only" from the "Can you name" part. Based on the numbers of countries in each quiz in this series, the median length for a country name per Sporcle convention is actually 7. (Just a nitpicky semantic issue that nobody else cares about.) But there should definitely be an 8-letter country quiz eventually.
