	Of course the name "United Kingdom" includes "kingdom". But also "Royaume de Belgique" is "Kingdom of Belgium" in French, so the word "kingdom" is included (in other language). Therefore, if Belgium is a correct answer, all kingdoms should also be, because their official names don't include the word "kingdom" but its translations: Koninkrijk der Nederlanden, Kongeriget Sverige, etc. (I'm not sure about the spellings).

	What dancastro said. Also, Commonwealth of Australia? Independent State of Papua New Guinea? It's also irritating that you exclude the countries whose official names are the same as their common names. Why do you do that?

	Dominion of Canada? can't believe you put the UK in there after asking for countries without the word Kingdom ha ha

	okay i got it from that source, and canada, australia, and papua new guinea did not have those official names they were just listed as their common names i excluded countries whose official names are the same as their common names because then there would be way too many and the quiz would be boring. as for belgium and the uk, well i kinda feel stupid now lol i'm taking them out sorry for the inconvenience!

	hlweissman:	Nov 3rd, 2010 at 21:03 GMT	1 point
	well the source i got it from just said "Union of Myanmar"

	If you are doing a quiz do it correctly. You can not exclude eligible countries because you would otherwise find it boring! And what about The Federation of St Kitts and Nevis, United Arab Emirates, Vatican City State etc.?
