and i didn't use the long form of the name (as congo for the republic of congo or macedonia for FYR of macedonia) except for drc and car

i don't know if i am wrong but my letters say :

L=1, U=1, X=8, E=1, M=3, B=3, O=1, U=1, R=1, G=2 total = 22

S=1, W=4, A=1, Z=10, I=1, L=1, A=1, N=1, D=2 total = 22
