Went over North American countries in my head at the start...Took me until there was only 1 minute left to realize United States of America started with a vowel...

	I like that they weren't listed alphabetically. It made it more challenging.

	What about Uz-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan?

	Are you using Cote d'ivoire for Ivory Coast? Otherwise you might want to add that one....depending on the person and what they call it.

	I think 6 minutes is good, I missed a few but i had just about the right amount of time. Cote D'Ivoire is the name used on Sporcle, on many quizzes it also accepts Ivory Coast but the French name is the standard, I suppose it could be a bonus along with East Timor.

	I forgot the US..

	Statto2:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 11:38 GMT		18 points
	Missed 4 'I' countries - Iran, Iraq, Israel and Italy. None of which are obscure countries that are never in the news!

	Tony_A:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 11:50 GMT		14 points
	Of course, it took me 1.5 mins to remember that the country I live in starts with U.

	Gillmacs:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 12:26 GMT		15 points
	It wasn't until I put the UAE in that I remember the USA and the UK...

	KillerFromCro:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 12:50 GMT		13 points
	And I missed the US. Would have missed the UK too if it weren't for Ukraine.

	Cecispanda:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 13:04 GMT		4 points
	got most of them real quick... agonized for awhile... finally remembered Australia with like 30 seconds left. I studied there last summer.

	I was so busy trying to think of the obscure countries that I almost forgot Italy and Ireland!

	Bowbow:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 15:43 GMT		6 points
	It's interesting to see how certain continents dominate certain letters, 4/7 E countries are in Africa, every I country is in either Asia or Europe, and all of those O countries are in Asia too. Nice quiz.

	ADROOM: England is technically part of the UK and not an independent sovereignty.

	@fenwicky: it is not at all like calling Spain España. Cote d'Ivoire has REFUSED to have their name translated in any other language, REFUSED. It is wrong to call the country Ivory Coast because it is not what they have requested. The country is known as Cote d'Ivoire to every country in the world, not Ivory Coast or Costa de Marfil or Costa d'Avorio, etc. just Cote d'Ivoire.

	ligluryjr:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 17:52 GMT		3 points
	@british: Cote d'Ivoire are called Khof Hashenhav in Hebrew (direct translation). I'm guessing that's true for all/most languages that don't use Latin Script, in which the french origin can't be kept anyway.
