	Loved it! May I suggest two additional abbreviations to the ones you're already using: STP (Sao Tome and Principe) and RC (Republic of the Congo)? I'm trying to promote the use of standard abbreviations for multi-word country names. The acronyms are relatively uncontroversial, while the first word abbreviations are not appealing to everyone. If you're interested you can find out more here: http://www.sporcle.com/games/tahitiwahini/common_country_name_alternatives

	RC was actually on there, but I've added STP. I'd never actually seen it abbreviated before, so it hadn't occurred to me do so here, but whatever works for people. Glad you liked it!

	"Rep Congo" is also an accepted abbreviation.

	Any chance you could move Vietnam and Niger to their proper places in the west-to-east order you're otherwise using?

	Whoops! Good eye on that one. Consider it fixed! Any chance you could change your rating from a four to a five in light of excellent customer service? ;-)

	I always thought EQUATORial guinea was on the equator. Guess I've been wrong all along.

	The equator briefly runs through Peru, look it up on Google Earth.....

	@dsantesteban: I'm not sure what to tell you... according to the Google Earth on my computer, the northernmost point in Peru (along the Putumayo River bordering Colombia) is still about 1-2 degrees south, which means the equator doesn't run through it at all. For what it's worth, Wikipedia agrees with me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Equator_and_Prime_Meridian.svg
