According to Wikipedia "By the 12th century, Tongans and the Tongan paramount chief, the Tuʻi Tonga, had a reputation across the central Pacific—from Niue, Samoa, Rotuma, Wallis & Futuna, New Caledonia to Tikopia—leading some historians to speak of a Tuʻi Tonga Empire." Why isn't this enough to say that Tonga was a country before being colonized by Europeans, just like, say, Armenia was a country before being absorbed into the USSR?

They were both independent prior to WW1 and were integrated with other remnants of the Austrian-Hungariqn Empire to form Yugoslavia, which started busting apart in the early 1990s.

Sorry about that. I fixed Nauru and Kosovo, but Serbia and Montenegro existed before the collapse of Yugoslavia.

This quiz will forever be full of contention because of murky definitions of what was once a country using the same name albeit drastically different borders, how far back, how specific the name, etc.
