This is a really awesome quiz but an extra 2-3 minutes would be appreciated. There just isn't enough time to think. I'd have to memorise all the answers if I wanted to complete it with the current time limit.

Agree with the above. Really great quiz, but needs a good chunk more time. The fun for me is in working it out on the fly, not learning the answers and grinding through the ones I already know to go further on a repeat. Just my opinion though. Still really liked it :)

Unless you're including spaces... but for all other two-word countries, it shows two numbers. So it really should be 6, 6.

You should change Burma to Myanmar, unless you're trying to trip people up. I was really confused by that.
