Wonderful quiz! I thought the Indians call themselves Bharat.

Agree, and Mexicans say is México. Only Spain calls it Méjico.

If you can find any mistakes, don't hesitate to point them out!

I am not a native speaker of all these languages, so I am bound to make some mistakes, so if you don't point them out, I'll never find them.

For English countries like Antigua and Barbuda or Saint Kitts and Nevis you only need to say to type Antigua or Saint Kitts. However for countries who uses a different language like Bosna i Hercegovina or Sao Tome e Principe you have to type the full name. All four examples are countries with names that contain the word "and" (or the Portuguese/Serbo-Croatian equivalent) so I feel like there should be some consistency between them.
