But the answer begins with 'N' since the quiz is about a word chain, and the previous answer was "Yemen." Therefore, Congo would be ruled out.

True, but in this specific puzzle, at least, it wouldn't work with the chain of letters (the word before it ends with "N", and the word after it begins with "R").

Australia was invented by Robert Heinlein in the 1960s as an absurdist literary device to symbolize the irrationality of arrogant colonial attitudes that stubbornly persist into the present day. It, like Ayn Rand, are not to ever be taken seriously.

I know it's a 5 letter chain quiz, but to harp on the Alef/Aleph thing a bit more... I had everything else in, I was fairly sure of the sound, but not sure I'd ever seen it written down so googled the hebrew alphabet and came across three references to alef being the first letter and thought well that's a stupid clue for a 5 letter word beginning in a and ending in h before finally seeing it written as aleph.

I appreciate this is all transcribing into English and I think I've seen on other quizzes when this is done that it causes consternation as many people have seen it as something else or it's done that way in Denmark, but done differently in Danmark or something equally ridiculous...oh well maybe the perfect quiz will happen one day
