America.... or United States of.... most countries are called Federal Republic of... Kingdom of... United Kingdom of.... Democratic Peoples something or other...add in the odd Principality/Duchy/Commonwealth of... its another ambiguous one, like in the B countries quiz with Burma-Myanmar, we all know what it is, and there's more than one name that's used in common language.

I tried this quiz and used the proper name Islamic Republic of Afghanistan... it didn't work. Also tried the "Countries beginning with I" using Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, its proper name. It didn't work.

In the "Countries Beginning with U" both United States and United Kingdom were good, but in the Countries Beginning with G", Great Britain didn't work.

We're all smart cookies on here, if one doesnt work, we see the quiz writer has used the other. It's fine. Worse things are happening in the World.

Great Britain is not a country. Great Britain is a term used to say "United Kingdom and Ireland".

Incorrect. It is The United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is not a part of Great Britain, even if they did compete in Team GB in the Olympics.

Team GB (BOA) is the National Olympic Committee (NOC) for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

It's amazing how many people from the US don't know what the name of their country actually means. "America" is not the name and "United States" is not equivalent to the "Republic of" cases; in fact it means "United States of the continent of America", since the name was applied to the whole continent (both north and south) centuries before the country was born. Meaning "America" indicates geographical location. It's equivalent to the United Kingdom of Great Britain, where "Great Britain" is the geographical location (the island) where the country is located. That's why it's GB *and* Northern Ireland, cause the latter isn't part of the former.

So, funnily enough, strictly speaking neither country has an actual name for their land, so to speak, since the first part of the name indicates political constitution, and the second part indicates geographical location.

How arrogant! A better (and more accurate) response would have been "Because America is a Continent and not a Nation." -

@ divantilya Your comment is neither better nor more accurate, the continental name would be North America, which incidentally would encompass Antigua & Barbuda (amongst many others). Sophia458 is correct. Maybe more to the point, how did you get to level 40 thinking America was the name of a continent?
