Ok my brain froze.. only got 7. Somehow I immediately thought the first letter would be the first letter of the country. Read the description, saw that it was not, but I could not get my brain to see it any other way.. The struggle to get 7 was hard! (and one was indeed an accident, bulgaria for bia... It went like, ok so these are the last three letters... not the initial one and ending in ia... so bia will be....bulgaria what no ugh)
