Egypt also includes all of the instances of UAR except one, leaving me (and I would assume others) stumped on that one. Egypt should always work for UAR or never.

Good quiz, but agreed the 1962 runners up spot for UAR doesn't fill in when Egypt is typed.

I don't know what this even is, yet I scored 100% just by guessing African countries. Way too much time (it only took me 1:44 to guess every African country).

If Egypt gets you UAR, by logic DR Congo should also get you Zaire.

Either that or include a caveat saying that some countries no longer exist.
