I got this after 3 straight days of practice. My advice: try finishing up Europe, Asia, and Africa with at least 1:10 or 1:15 or so left. North and South America should be ideally finished in about 30-35 seconds. Australia + Oceania should be finished in less than 10 seconds. Remember the abbreviations too, like DPRK, ROK, ROC, PRC, PNG, NZ, DR, Congo, Car, FYROM, KSA. Those will save you so much time. Other than that, most of it was just muscle memory from practice. Glhf!

My strat:

All of the "hard" countries first. I start with Caribbean+Central America, then Pacific + Indonesia, then Central Asia, all the african islands, then all the micronations in EU. This usually takes about a minute.

Minute 2 is all of africa + middle east

Minute 3 is everything else. Blitz through the rest of asia + EU, then speed through NA + SA with about 20 secs left. I managed to finish with 2 seconds left

Abbreviations I use - DR, NZ, PNG, CAR, DPRK, ROK, PRC, ROC, KSA, FYROM

I've learned them in alphabetical order, so I type them from memory in alphabetical order instead of going by continent.
