	Ethiopia? And maybe put bonus answers for countries that have "the" in them, such as Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

	Missed all thes and felt stupid for almost trying French Guyana... I love those letter/country-quizzes but boy do I suck at them. Thanks!

	Great fun as always- looking forward to more.

	Weird how sometimes you just don't notice it. I scanned all the countries of the world in my brain but somehow did not get Philippines or Chad.

	You should add the UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) at least as a bonus answer.

	I don't believe "The" Gambia is Sporcle-standard. Good quiz, though.

	I agree with afasbind. You should make countries with 'the' in them bonus answers.

	Wow, missed Haiti, Honduras and Afghanistan. But still made the top half so all good - much harder than expected because you basically have to think of every country in turn or will automatically miss a decent number. Great quiz!

	I'm dubious about "The".

	Missed all four contries with 'the' in them. Totally didn't think to put those in there, you win this round ;)

	You forgot The Poland.

	I feel like counting "The" is a little cheap - they'd be better off as bonus answers perhaps.

	@ashiashiahibb: Thats because the true name is St Kitts and Nevis.

	is it weird that the first country i thought of was Bhutan?

	daisyap:	May 24th, 2010 at 16:07 GMT		3 points
	^First one I thought of too! nearly al lthe ones I missed contained 'the', maybe make these bonus answers?

	Including "the" was a mistake. By that rule: why not "The United States of America," or "The Federated States of Micronesia?"

	moviegoer74:	May 26th, 2010 at 20:38 GMT		3 points
	@soshoreman...in both of your examples, "the" is not supposed to be capitalized because it's not part of the name of the country. The official name of the country is United States of America, not The United States of America. In the countries included in this quiz, the word "the" is part of the official name of the country.

	@Trek222: Interestingly, an official alternative name of Saint Kitts and Nevis is Saint Christopher and Nevis, which contains an H (actually two of them).

	I'm in the frequent habit of calling people out for making duplicate quizzes. When I made my series of letter quizzes I picked the particular letters I picked specifically because they were the only letter that I couldn't find any quizzes for. So I thought I was the first one to do them. Sporcle's search function has apparently improved because in searching for some other quizzes I now see that someone beat me to this. http://www.sporcle.com/games/samuraiSTAK/randomquiz101 There are a few minor problems with that quiz. He doesn't accept DRC (you have to type it out or type Dem Rep Congo) and he doesn't appear to be an active Sporcler anymore and thus not likely to update his quiz to add South Sudan. So I'm not sure whether to retract my quiz (as I often ask others to do when they've duplicated someone else's quiz). But in the interests of not being a hypocrite, I thought I ought to make it known when I myself have duplicated a quiz (albeit unintentionally).

	I say keep this quiz. Although adding bonuses for "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and "French Guiana" would be good. As for how I did - not bad, but completely missed the "the"s, but they should be kept in. "Czech Republic" is an interesting one, as there isn't a "h" where the /tʃ/ sound leads you to expect one, but there is one where the /k/ sound suggests there isn't!
