One other thing, since you've added to a series that Quizzer6794 have produced a few of already - it would be polite to include a reference to them in your instructions.

Cool addition to the series.

Some suggestions: for the sake of appearance, you should only display one answer for answers with many country type-ins. For example, you should accept Mississippi and Missouri as type-ins, but only display the answer as the most prominent one. Or for the MAL countries, perhaps edit it to something else so a user isn't left with a ton of options. And add in the caveat "most prominent answer" (because who on Earth would type in Bora Bora before Borneo?)

tl;dr : the copious amount of options takes away from the point of the quiz. Only accept the most prominent answer unless absolutely necessary :)
