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

	DR Congo also has Togo in it, and Dominican Republic has Oman.

	@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?

	AlexRandom:	Sep 2nd, 2010 at 14:06 GMT	4 points
	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).

	St. Vincent and the Grenadines also contains "Kyrgyzstan."

	lukebradford:	Sep 2nd, 2010 at 21:09 GMT	6 points
	I've realized that I left out a few examples, namely, that Kyrgyzstan contains Kyrgyzstan. Expect a major update soon.

	South Africa contains Lesotho. Does that count? ;)

	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.

	lukebradford:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 16:05 GMT	0 points
	@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.

	doughboy:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 00:29 GMT	-2 points
	I was hoping this quiz hadn't already been done.dam it. St vincent and the grenadines also contains Greece.

	british:	Jun 2nd, 2011 at 20:18 GMT	1 point
	the country name has to be within the order of the country name. ex: AUSTRalIA, DOMINICAN republic, IRelANd. you cannot go back, its just left to right.
