	Way too much time (5 minutes should be good) and maybe think about adding a map.

	Very good quiz, with all the accent marks correctly placed (and the possibility of entering the answers without accents for those who can't type them). I know accents are a nuisance, but they are useful: if you see "Canadá" you know that in Spanish it's stressed on the last syllabe (à la française or, better, à la québécoise).

	Great quiz! Had no clue on the San Cristóbal y Nieves, lol.

	Estados Unidos Mexicanos as a bonus? Great quiz. I favorited it. WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY too much time, though. Five to six minutes should do the trick, especially since almost all of Latin America is the same in Spanish and English.

	Well, the timing was based on "Countries of North America" and "Countries of South America" quizzes. One took 5 minutes, the other took 10 minutes. So I added up the two and added an extra 3 minutes for the answers being Spanish. That's the method I used with "Eurasian Countries" and "Eurasian Countries in Turkish" quizzes. But if the demand comes I can cut down on time and/or make it something like my "Asian Countries in Japanese" quiz, i.e. an ordered answer quiz.

	EEUU, the short form in Spanish. I overlooked that. I'll take care of it after work. Thanks for the feedback.

	Accents...I sticked with the spelling on my source, using copy-paste.

	Why does't the article show up for countries like los Estados Unidos?

	@Schkum: the usage is the same as in English. You say "I live in THE United States", but in all lists of countries the name appears as "United States", without article. In Spanish it's the same: "Vivo en LOS Estados Unidos", but the name of the country as it appears in lists is "Estados Unidos", also without article.

	EDIT INFO: Abbrevations for US added, time limit pulled back a little, into the combination of the two other test it was based on (15 min).
