Many of those are just abbreviations of the countries

Calling them type-ins are more accurate, but then again this quiz won't make sense since many countries accept several type-ins

e.g. MICRONESIA is accepted for Federated States of Micronesia too

The quiz instruction has much more clear description I suppose. I have put down all the rules in the instructions and caveat, which would probably answer all of your confusion.

Also, it is almost impossible to find a perfect title for the quiz in just a few words.

The “standard name” is according to the Jetpunk quiz and not anything else. Because you know, Quizmaker is the God here apparently

Great quiz! Nominated. I'm surprised that Ceylon is still accepted, since it hasn't been called that since 1972.
