I've studied in the Japanese class that America is called アメリカ (Amerika) in Japanese. This seems to be my new knowledge.

There should be no Y in Ōsutoria. And I would not leave out marking the long vowels.

"Y" removed, thanks. Macrons are often used when transliterating foreign languages like Japanese into English (eg Tōkyō); here we've followed the convention of keeping to the 26 letters of the Roman alphabet without extra pronunciation guide markings (eg Tokyo), in the same way that English does not mark its own long and short vowels.

Nice quiz.

Marshall Islands should rather be 'Maasharu Shotou'. And New Zealand Nyuujiirando, but I think it is the first one where the correction really makes a difference.

If you're making those kind of changes, you should also change:

Chugoku -> Chuugoku

Kitachosen -> Kitachousen

Osutoria -> Oosutoria

And Morodibu for モルディブ is just incorrect, it should read Morudibu.
