"England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.[6][7][8] It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. The Irish Sea lies northwest of England and the Celtic Sea lies to the southwest. England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain (which lies in the North Atlantic) in its centre and south, and includes over 100 smaller named islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight."

If England is a sovereign country then where is its government? To be sovereign it would need to have political authority, and there is no English government, only a UK one. The queen is kind of irrelevant as she has no real power and is also the queen of other sovereign countries.

Oh please! England has not been an independent sovereign country in its own right since 1707. England is part of the United Kingdom. It really is quite sad how many people from the UK don't understand how the UK is constituted - this is basic stuff.

Got them all, again, with 17 seconds left between 9:44 and 9:46 PM on February 21, 2019. Equatorial Guinea was the last one I typed in. Eswatini was one of the first I typed, not surprising since the change was so recent.

Learnt something today - thank you. eSwatini - is the 'new' name proclaimed by their King for Swaziland - in 2018. I'm guessing most quizzes will now include the new name for Swaziland along with Swaziland.

I would argue that "El Salvador" should be classed as beginning with S, not E. You don't class the United Kingdom as beginning with "T", for example, do you?

Re UK - no you don’t, because The is not part of its official name. Whereas El is a part of El Salvador’s. Fortunate that Washington follows UK’s example, otherwise 328 million people would live in the Trumpian nation of TUSOA.

Adding to the requests, East Timor doesn't belong as they are officially the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste.
