It wouldn’t accept Swaziland for me either. This was the second country I typed in but didn’t realise that it hadn’t been accepted until I had typed swazilandswitzerlandserbiaslovakiasloveniaspainsenegalsaudiarabiasouthkoreasouthsudansouthmacedonia
I got Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka (and one time Solomon Islands), but now I missed Spain? HOW CAN I MISS SPAIN!?!?!? I swear that sometimes when you play these "Countries that start with" quizzes, some of the most obvious countries are left blank in your mind.
I do the South America quiz, get 100% percent, and do the Europe quiz at least a million times, then proceed to forget Switzerland and Suriname. yay. you guys just read a comment that is very unoriginal and now i'm just typing for fun.
What, the same SeaLand that cruelly kidnaps, maltreats and forces orcas to perform, and shut down after a whale killed a trainer, only for the same whale to be sold to SeaWorld Orlando and kill another two people?
I did, as one commenter suggested, and began with the countries I usually forget (Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Swaziland, Solomon Islands), and then filled in the rest... and almost forgot SPAIN. In my mind, Spain will always be Espana.
same here... I started with the ones I knew and then filled in based on alphabetical order. I missed Syria, San Marino, Singapore, and Solomon Islands. (p.s. please try my quizzes!)
United Nations were officially notified that Czechia is now to be used in English, just like Moldova, Cabo Verde and Cote d'Ivoire ... The only difference is that Swaziland actually changed its name in its own official language, so the English speaking world feels like they should follow. Czechia has always had a short and long name in Czech and many other European languages, but somehow not in English and the change is perceived only as a style suggestion, so it's ignored.
Things also boil down to English not having a language authority, so any editor/webmaster/Quizmaster ultimately make their own decision about the choice of official or unofficial name, or the choice between long and short form.
This is one of those quizzes where you know all the answers but the quiz does some weird psychological thing that sends them all to the ends of your mind
I saw the comment at the top of the quiz saying how it was Eswatini instead of Swaziland on this quiz, and my brain went "Ok!" and instantly forgot it. It was the third one I tried to type in XD
Eswatini isn't called Swailand anymore so that doesn't count anymore. Also Scotland is not a recognized country, rather its part of the UK, so it also doesn't count.
what about using Suomi for Finland? Or ROC for South Africa? A lot of countries have "state of" in their names. Those double standards for Swaziland are kinda cringe. Waiting for Turkiye then
There's some kind of weird psychological phenomenon that happens in peoples' brains when they do quizzes like these. All of a sudden, a selection of answers you could think of any other time gets randomly excluded the edge of your brain.
It's spelt 'Sweden'.
Derp :)
