Why give us Vatican City? It's the name of a country, it should be fair game

+17

Level 73

Feb 22, 2015

Agreed!

+32

Level 56

Mar 4, 2015

I think it's because most people just use "Vatican", but "Vatican City" is more accurate.

Can't reply to Sulps...so here is my reply...this is a quiz to test your knowledge, if you don't know it's called Vatican City, then you deserve to miss it.

Level 34

Feb 22, 2019

Agreed again!

Level 67

Oct 4, 2019

The Vatican is not the same as vatican city and people should learn the difference.

Level 93

Nov 21, 2021

it's also referred to as the Holy See so I'm happy to take the freebie and guess the rest.

Level 65

May 18, 2023

But the Holy See and Vatican City are not the same thing.

Level 82

Aug 25, 2016

Agreed.

Level 82

Oct 6, 2016

IMO Vatican is a valid short name for a country, just like in all other cases, e.g. Italian Republic

+12

Level 67

Jan 28, 2019

It isnt. There is a reason why in all the answer sheets it is shown as vatican city and Italy. Those are the common names. Vatican is accepted on this site as a courtesy. I guess because in speed quizes it takes too much time to type, just like saint nevis and kitts, or marshall islands.

ps the is a difference in "The Vatican" and the country vatican city. Maybe that why you have vatican in your head? The vatican is in vatican city.

Level 31

Feb 21, 2019

Or probably like Holy See?

Level 56

Nov 3, 2023

That's where the Holy Mackerel lives.

Level 38

Mar 31, 2022

Yeah well I am on the top 5 today for the even split minigame on hard mode

And you’re not

Level 66

Nov 2, 2023

Blud really think he's Gerald Ford.

Level 48

Jan 23, 2023

interesting roast

Level 60

Nov 2, 2023

Just because it's valid short-hand doesn't mean it should be excluded. Czech Republic clearly belongs on Countries that End in 'C', but Czechia is officially recognized as short-hand.

Level 40

Dec 13, 2023

ma da quando l'Italia si chiama "Repubblica italiana"? ma tutto bene? ahahah c'è una distinzione abissale tra il nome di uno Stato e la forma di governo adottata eh...

Città del Vaticano E' il nome dello Stato, "Vaticano" è come lo chiamano (erroneamente) tutti per semplificare.

assurdo comunque essere così ignoranti.

Level 49

Nov 21, 2021

also the holy see

+12

Level 92

Mar 4, 2015

Far too Euro-centric :)

Level 85

Mar 4, 2015

Awesome.

Level 90

Sep 14, 2017

I fell far more aggrieved that 16% of South American countries end in y. Yet you have lowly Africa continuing to be disrespected and not getting a single crumb. Come on mythical being that names and determines the spelling of countries you can do better than that. If you believe in equality then gosh darn it a good 9 or 10 need to be immediately renamed to rectify this egregious bias.

Level 52

Dec 2, 2018

I disagree. It's mere coincidence that a majority of the countries ending with "y" are in Europe.

Level 56

Dec 22, 2020

The above comments are sarcastic, I'm pretty sure :)

Level 65

Mar 4, 2015

Great Quiz!

Level 36

Mar 4, 2015

Never realized how many European countries end in Y

Level 80

Mar 8, 2018

Cyprus should really change its name to end in Y, just to emphasize its European credentials.

+18

Level 75

Jul 12, 2018

Cyprusy?

Level 67

Jan 28, 2019

Sounds cute.

Level 67

Nov 8, 2021

That sounds like an illness.

Level 76

Jul 14, 2022

It does.

Level 65

Feb 22, 2019

But oddly, the European countries only end in Y when using their English names...

Italia, Norge, Deutschland, Magyarország, Türkiye, Città del Vaticano

Perhaps we can reintroduce Araby, and Malagasy, to make it less Euro-Centric?

Level 67

Oct 4, 2019

None of them ends In Y either in my language. But I cant think of any that does, but that doesnt say much, cause on this quiz I blanked I could not think of more than hungary uruguay and paraguay (and apparently last time norway aswell)

Level 48

Nov 21, 2021

Some languages don't even have Y

Level 56

Mar 4, 2015

Good quiz. Can't believe I missed Turkey

Level 52

Mar 4, 2015

You really should not give Vatican city for free.

Level 62

Mar 8, 2018

Yes they should.

Level 67

Jan 28, 2019

No reason they should, there is no contreversy about it. It would just be laziness

Level 82

Feb 21, 2019

giving the Vatican was a good call.

Level 32

Mar 4, 2015

I was thinking too hard for Europe... I almost missed Paraguay and Uruguay. 17 sec. left!

Level 65

Mar 8, 2015

0:02 remaining. YES!

Level 19

Mar 8, 2015

Quizmaster gave you Vatican City, not me!

Level 75

Apr 29, 2017

Nice quiz, LBA. I hope we see more along these lines.

Level 24

Jul 8, 2015

the fact that I missed Italy is annoying

Level 67

Sep 4, 2015

Me too, at first try. And I'm Italian.....

Level 20

Aug 23, 2017

Haha, would be understandable if you thought of Italy as Italia. xD

Level 82

Aug 25, 2016

Damn it! Missed Germany. Paraguay was the first country that came to mind. Only got the European entries quite late in the piece.

Level 31

Feb 21, 2019

Got everythin right!

Level 55

Oct 24, 2016

No hate but how did yours get featured before mine? i made mine nearly a year earlier...

Level 76

Apr 29, 2017

Frustrating when that happens, although I do know that this site makes an effort to be fair to everyone in this sort of situation. But the 12 Jan 2015 date-stamp here may not have been the date it was written. It was the date it was last updated, and an update always happens the day it is featured because a photo gets added.

Level 60

Nov 2, 2023

In this case, manchesterutd10 made theirs first. Theirs was from January 19, 2014, this one was made on January 2nd, 2015.

Level 66

Feb 22, 2017

All with 1:49 left

Level 58

Apr 29, 2017

4/7 spent too much time laughing/facepalming at the fact that the first country I tried was Nepal.

Level 49

Apr 29, 2017

Got it with 1:45 left

Level 57

Apr 29, 2017

easiest quiz ever

Level 52

Apr 29, 2017

Please don't give Vatican city for free.

Level 48

Sep 15, 2017

Thinking of Yakko's Nations of the World may help

Level 93

Nov 21, 2021

Dahomey?

Level 33

May 5, 2023

Dahomey is now the country of Benin.

Level 45

Jul 3, 2022

Yeah, but that song has numerous inaccuracies that overlook some countries or include some that do not exist.

Level 95

Feb 21, 2019

I missed Italy despite the fact that I live there at the moment. Not my proudest moment.

Level 55

Feb 21, 2019

Really good quiz! I actually found it really challenging and I'm normally good at this stuff

Level 70

Feb 21, 2019

Why doesn't Haity work?

Level 67

Feb 21, 2019

Because it's spelled "Haiti."

Level 61

Feb 21, 2019

That seems quite picki.

Level 60

Nov 2, 2023

Level 52

May 2, 2020

To think, not a single country in Asia and Africa has a name that ends in the letter Y

Level 43

Nov 24, 2021

Technically Turkey is in Asia

Level 33

May 5, 2023

Turkey is a transcontenetal country that is both in Europe as well is in Asia.

Level 36

Oct 24, 2021

Level 33

May 5, 2023

Probably because you were taught Turkey as Türkiye.

Level 72

Nov 21, 2021

Nice quiz, harder than I thought. Nearly missed Norway and I live next door in Sweden. Are there other quizzes in the series? Thank you.

Level 65

Level 55

Nov 1, 2023

What about Zimbabway, Haity, Malawey, and Chiley?

Level 51

Nov 2, 2023

Turkey changed its name to Türkiye recently.

Level 56

Jan 10, 2024

I expect that I'll never hear someone call it Türkiye in casual conversation. Only ever Turkey.
