Astonished that this one hasn't been done before. It's a natural. The time limit is perfect, just challenging enough, especially for the single country answers.
Czech Republic - is this acceptable as I believe it is Czechia now? Or is Czechia acceptable for ending in 'A' question too and Czech Republic simply allowing for those who still refer to the country in the old term?
I am curious why we accept CAR and DR for two of the c-ending countries (not to mention DRC) but CR for Czech Republic is not accepted. Is this worth an update to JetPunk standards? I understand that Costa Rica might pose an objection, but it does not have the Republic moniker.
I think the issue is probably that using that as a type in would mean getting it when you type other answers (Croatia, for instance) whereas DRC, CAR and DR don't start other country names so there's no mistaking what you're guessing
I decided to look up former nations and see if I could find ones ending in B, F, J, P, V, W, X and Z. I think these can all claim to have been states at one point:
Moab, the Republic of the Rif, Lahej, Pomerania-Stolp, Pskov, Maingmaw, Foix and Agadez.
I thought of making that into a quiz, but it would be too difficult.
This quiz has some issues. When I reached the "ending in D" category I tried Trinidad. No go. gave up after. probably just missing a few bc there's a lot. nice quiz otherwise
Moab, the Republic of the Rif, Lahej, Pomerania-Stolp, Pskov, Maingmaw, Foix and Agadez.
