Its because there is Niger and Nigeria. People will type ''Niger'' as an answer and it will automatically acept without the ''ia''

It's implied.

Level 72
Sep 20, 2018
With other first letter country quizzes in which Jetpunk accepts a very common variant, I think the quiz should add a free answer for Papua New Guinea, just to save people typing in the answer. The C first letter quiz does that for both Congos and for Ivory Coast.

The B quiz does so for Myanmar.

The M one does so for Micronesia (although, interestingly, not Myanmar).

See also the P quiz and Palestine.

[Note: I don't think that it's necessary for the Netherlands even though the issue does arise there too.]

There is a city in Greece called Macedonia that Macedonia (the country) wanted to name themselves after. However, Greece wouldn't allow them so they just made their name North Macedonia.

Macedonia is a general area in that region, with lots of history. North Macedonia represents that they are in the north of that area. A bit like South Africa, when there's no country called Africa, but it's in respect to where they are in their region/ continent.
