	st vIncent and the gRenAdiNes...that looks in order to me.

	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.

	lukebradford:	Sep 2nd, 2010 at 13:31 GMT		5 points
	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		7 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		9 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		1 point
	@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.

	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.

	I think on the instructions you should put the words "in order" in all caps and surround them with asterisks in the mad hope that it will stop the comments from people who don't seem to get that

	@all: In order. The letters have to be in order within the country name. Stop asking for Grenada as an alt for St. Vincent.

	I loved the quiz, very original :) One tiny thing - please accept 'rep congo' for Republic of Congo - but that wasn't enough to stop me giving it five globes :)

	cryptor:	Oct 22nd, 2012 at 06:08 GMT		3 points
	doMinicAn repuLIc also contains Mali. Incidentally, Mali is also contained in Maldives, Malaysia, Somalia and Marshall Islands - which, along with Malawi and Democratic Republic of the Congo must make Mali the most "contained" country of the lot!

	How does St. Vincent and the Grenadines contain CHAD? There is no H????

	buis_golalas:	Oct 22nd, 2012 at 17:24 GMT		5 points
	@mrpeeprs1. Sporcle has been known to warp the mind. Read your sentence very slowly again.

	osasunaitor:	Oct 22nd, 2012 at 22:40 GMT		3 points
	aaaarghh! Ok, let's make it clear: if someone is going to comment about a country containing something please read this first: IT MUST BE IN ORDER. IN ORDER!! Are you sure it still contains it? IN ORDER? Well! If I see someone else saying that St. Vincent and the G. contains Grenada I think I'm going to throw myself from the window beside me, seriously!

	@mrpeeprs1 the "h" is in the word "the"

	This quiz is WAY TOO CONFUSING!!!! I saw the title which isn't the "Can you...?" title and I thought it was like Vatican city contains Italy and that! I had no clue what to do!!!!!
