	@rhodespike No, because these are just their common names. Otherwise, they'd have to include the "United Mexican States" among others.

	Ukraine doesn't fit any of the categories, it's spelt UKR, nor URK

The hardest part of this quiz for me was getting the "non-countries" out of my head. My brain instantly filled with cities and states that met the descriptions. Canberra? Manitoba? Marseilles?

	So I guess "'Murkah" doesn't count for URK?

	What a unique type of quiz!

	pablitomiguez:	Jun 20th, 2012 at 21:06 GMT		10 points
	it looked very easy at first, but hard at the end. 17/30

	Bobman1:	Jun 20th, 2012 at 21:09 GMT		4 points
	Quite difficult and excellent. 14/30 ;( @colleenrose, is that how Lyndon Johnson would spell it when speaking to his fellow 'Murkans?

	Wouldn't the countries under HAD, SPA and TIN be unique names, since they're the only ones under that sequence?

	BossMonster:	Jun 20th, 2012 at 21:40 GMT		0 points
	Whenever I tried to come up with "TIN," "Trinidad and Tobago" was the only thing I could think of...

	Honest_John:	Jun 20th, 2012 at 21:43 GMT		3 points
	Tough quiz, very enjoyable. I'm sure I almost typed Swansea for SWA at one point.

	Poor little forgotten Kyrgyzstan! :-)

	arpw:	Jun 20th, 2012 at 21:56 GMT		5 points
	Found that when mentally going over countries to check if they had any of these 3 letter sequences I just completely missed some. Mongolia, no, Dominican Republic, no, Vatican City, no... time up... and look what comes up!

	I thought of, considered, and rejected 'España'. I somehow didn't guess 'Spain'. I am a native English speaker. I worry about myself sometimes.

	Super quiz, maximum challenge! Could have used a tad more time

	BigThing:	Jun 21st, 2012 at 00:23 GMT		1 point
	This was really great. The time limit was harsh though. I think the concept is hard enough by itself, plus a lot of the countries aren't easy to think of. That shouldn't be a problem for the Sporcle geography buffs. Which I used to be, but I am finding myself back on Sporcle after a year or so, and I would've been hard pressed to find them all in two minutes more. I guess I can see, though, why you would want to make this a challenge for even seasoned Sporclers.

	MAR? Hmm... "Martinique!" No, brain. "Saint Martin!" No, it has to be countries. "Sint Maarten!" That doesn't even fit, brain! "...Mali?"

	EmmaParsnibbles:	Jun 21st, 2012 at 15:00 GMT		1 point
	So of course I forgot Germany, but Turkmenistan was no problem at all. Sigh.

	Lauchis:	Jun 21st, 2012 at 15:46 GMT		4 points
	Sooooo, I coulnd't get the TIN one, and that's my country... oops!

	Beatlezfann:	Jun 21st, 2012 at 17:37 GMT		7 points
	How ironic that the country which name means "land of silver" contains tin!

	Please accept "Pamana" as a bonus answer. Then I won't feel so stupid.

	sennomulo:	Aug 26th, 2012 at 20:22 GMT		2 points
	In French it's Maroc. In Spanish it's Marruecos. In German it's Marokko. So my brain kept trying to go back to the fictional country of Marocco.

	We could argue until the cows come home about whether it is Burma or Myanmar but I'm pretty sure it's called Burma at the moment.

	Norway? NO WAY!

	I like those quizzes where you forget your own country :)

	serf_in_USA:	Dec 28th, 2012 at 09:58 GMT		1 point
	This is one of those tests that just makes you want to pull out your hairs when you're taking it. I was right there on a bunch of 'em, but couldn't quite get my memory to finish the deal. I got 18 correct.
