I would suggest not having an answer in the instructions, but other than that, very nice indeed.

That wasn't always the case. I think when I made this, NZ wasn't an answer.

please accept "kingdom of saudi arabia" and "republic of china" since thats what the abbreviations actually stand for

Please make it clear in the instructions that you are looking for the current name of FYROM - on a time-limited quiz it was very irritating to type out what the abbreviation stood for and then find out it wasn't accepted!

But... the full expansion of FYROM is accepted. I just tried it now and verified.

I think you may have the expansion incorrect? Or maybe made a typo?

Why is "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" not accepted?

Level 67

With some fixes already mentioned this could be a featured quiz.
