Essentially the only countries that recognize Taiwan as a country are some that are quite small and poor (mostly Pacific island nations), making direct financial assistance from Taiwan more profitable than diplomatic and economic ties with China.

I swear I read the South Africa one as having 3 official flags, and I couldn’t figure out for the life of me which country that was.

I really wish the answer to "has a Libertarian head of state" was Liberia.

No, that's the only country to have a Liberian head of state.

I'm not aware of any country that has ever had a Librarian head of state!

3 minutes left, 2 more to guess: ends with K and Libertarian hos. I started with the first one thinking it would be more obvious, somehow managed to go through the entire world within a minute, except Europe. Ok, lemme try, sometimes it's a very obvious answer. Some Yakko' World lyrics and there's DENMARK!

Last one remaining. I went through all the Nordics and countries I thought they could be liberal, didn't really know what libertarian meant even if I had heard about it. Then I decided - it must be in the Americas, since if nothing I thought could match matched, Asian and African countries would rather be conservative. I typed Argentina and then I started dancing with my arms for a bit.
