I'm surprised not to see anything about Bagan here, especially since it's in the photo. Something about the last Mughal emperor being exiled/buried in Yangon might be a good question too.

I tried 'Aang' and 'Ang' among others but didn't get 'Aung'. 😬

"Aang"? I didn't know that Suu Kyi was an airbender!!!

Jokes aside, this quiz should maybe be updated to reflect that the military junta is back in power again.

The countries are ordered geographically, following Myanmar's border clockwise. Interesting coincidence that it's almost alphabetic.

Burma isn’t a alternative name, it is it’s former name

No, it is both. Many people still say "Burma", because they have no idea what Myanmar is. So, technically Burma is also an alternative name.

I don't know about now, but for at least fifteen years after the change, saying/writing Myanmar implied acceptance of the military regime; saying/writing Burma implied rejection.

It comes from the international system of units, in french "Système International", thus SI (it was adopted in France). I do agree that this type-in is a bit funny and short though^^
