These clues tell you what the answer is NOT. Can you figure out the answers, which are all names of countries?
The clues are like antonyms, the opposite of their answer. "Opposite" is a pretty loose term here - I've taken a lot of liberties; they are more like crossword clues and you'll have to use a bit of thought to work some of them out.
Some answers may be a competitor, or the other half of something. eg. "McDonalds" could be the clue for "Burger King".
