A quick note here about methodology that was a bit too long to put in the instructions: a lot of countries with words that are technically unique did not make it into this quiz. These generally fall into three categories: words that are basically just the adjectival form of the country's short name (e.g. "French" for France, "Hellenic" for Greece); words that are already found in the country's short name (e.g. "North" for North Macedonia, "Federated" for Federated States of Micronesia); and words that are commonly used as unofficial short names (e.g. "America" for United States, "Britain" for United Kingdom).
