	How about eSwatini (Swaziland), Hayastan (Armenia), Slovensko (Slovakia), and any of 11 of South Africa's names :)

	It's interesting that the names for North and South Korea are completely different words. One would expect the same name with some additional adjective, like in English Republic of Korea and Democratic People's Republic of Korea (also Republic of China and People's Republic of China, or East and West Germany that were both "Republik Deutschland" with some additional word to distinguish one from the other). I wonder which was the name of the whole country Korea in prewar times.

	My greatest moments in this quiz: guessing Armenia for Sak'art'velo thinking Georgia was already on there, and thinking "No, it can't be Maldives" for Dhivehi Raajje.

	@dancastro: To complicate matters more, the South Koreans have a different word for North Korea than the one the North Koreans have for themselves, and the North Koreans have a different word for South Korea than the South Koreans have for themselves. But it's all still Korean. So basically there are currently four Korean names for the two Korean countries in one Korean language. Dang this is complicated.

	I got 29% on the little island nations and 69% on the rest of them.

	@tm83: Thanks very much. They have been added.

	Romansh is only spoken by about 1% of the population of Switzerland. It really should not be used. I think German would be challenging enough: Die Schweiz.

	@Austerlitz: OK, I will change that.
