Not your fault, but "i" looks like "l" and I spent the entire time trying to figure out "lja" when it was actually "ija." That combination of letters together looks like lja, so maybe try to find a different country so that no one makes the same mistake I do? Anyway, great quiz.

Original idea, and harder than I expected.

Yeah, I really liked this. The one suggestion I'd make is to restrict yourself to letter combinations which only occur in one country--I think the quiz feels more satisfying that way.

Kept expecting the letters to be from the center of the name, not just somewhere bweteen the first and last letters.

Great quiz! I was going to say the same as isstvan but then I noticed you do explain it in the instructions. Well done! Original, and for some reason I found this incredibly difficult. I got about 7 straight off and then my mind went blank for 6 minutes, then I got one more.

37 times harder than i thought it would be!! The only nit I would pick would be to change your hints from lowercase to uppercase.
