It doesn't contain it in order, though, so it doesn't count. Clever quiz, more difficult than it seemed at first sight. I was stuck for an absurdly long time on Ireland -> Iran, and got St. Vincent -> Chad with only 2 seconds left.

Just when you think every original Geography wordplay game had been created, you get a quiz like this! Loved it.

@all - Not sure how I should deal with the other possible answers. I don't want to just add them because then solving Ireland solves St. Vincent, which is one of the harder puzzlers in here. I just added a disclaimer that there are no repeats.

Aha, never mind, it's an in-order quiz so I've added the other possible answers. @IronFirefly - Not quite, I don't think. st. vINcent anD the grenadInes?

Wow, that was a major stupid moment from me. I must have looked at the country name half a dozen times to make sure "Iran" was not there. I blame it on playing Sporcle at 3:30 am.

Nice quiz! It looks so easy at first but there are a few tricky ones. As regards St Vince, even including the 'in' in SaINt, you still can't get India in order: saINt vincent anD the grenadInes (i.e. it's a-i after the d, not i-a).

I've realized that I left out a few examples, namely, that Kyrgyzstan contains Kyrgyzstan. Expect a major update soon.

st. VIncEnT aNd the grenAdines... where is the M??? lol. It took me absurly long to get past Vietnam for that one. I think the only things that have this quiz under a 4 globe average are 1) I think the explanation is not overly clear (it's hard in 200 characters) and 2) having something like 'dominican republic' and 'papua new guinea' seems a bit lame next to some of the less obvious ones, although I liked that you built up from Nigeria, going from easy to harder is smart.

@Golden - Yeah, I struggled with the explanation for a while. And I admit the straightforward ones are kind of lame, but I think they're working as I intended - to keep people on their toes. Papua New Guinea, for example, is tricking a pretty solid group of people.
