Great but outdated quizz. The following changes should be implemented:

* Swaziland > Eswatini

* Burma > Myanmar

* Macedonia > North Macedonia

* Also, Czechia should be accepted

France and Netherlands are probably listed in wrong place. France should be between Niger and Grenada, at 11°46′S, Point Grande on Mayotte; and Netherlands between Grenada and Yemen, at 12°01′N, Willemstoren lighthouse on Bonaire.
