Russia_ is the same way, and for the same reason, in that if the clue is in the answer it is displayed.

Names spelled vastly differently, such as Ivory Coast, are not included.

It's confusing though. I knew the answer was "Russian Federation," but it looks like the answer is three words starting with "Russia." Either just give us the entirety of "Russian" or don't give us anything.

Maybe you could accept Confoederatio Helvetica (CH) for Swiss federation. As it is in Latin it is even more universal :)

I love this one. :)

The Cape verde one is a little confusing because it only has one line for the last two words. It made me think I was missing something.

it seems like some of the answers are broken. I typed in Republic of China and didn't get credit. If you are accepting only the blanks (republic china) that seems a bit odd as why wouldn't you accept the full country name. the same happened to me when I typed in Russian federation. and united kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. republic of north Macedonia. so just seemed like something was broken.

My bad, this was an oversight when I made it more uniform to always include 'of' and 'and', etc, I never updated the type-ins after they reverted to auto

Russian federation didn't work for me, and maybe accept poor spellings of "serene", because I kept trying "serine" and it didn't work. Not a word I see very often lol

confused when French Fifth Republic didn't work, consider accepting it or adding lines to make it clear how many words there are?

Unless I am mistaken, that appears to be the name of the system of government, not the name of the country, but just in case I've permitted your answer to work now.
