And Gambia is The Gambia, Bolivia is the Plurinational State of Bolivia, and South Africa is the Republic of South Africa. Gambia is sorted under 'G' not 'T', Bolivia is 'B' not 'P', and South Africa is 'S' not 'R', although they are RSA for FIFA and IOC usage.
Myanmar or Burma.....Myanmar was imposed by the military against the wishes of the population in 1989. They changed the names of lots of towns too, to get rid of the old colonial past. Opposing parties and most older locals still use Burma. Both names come from the local tribes that were found there, and its been called Birma and Barma over the years. Aung San Suu Kyi says either is ok as there isnt anything in the countries constitution that says what the countries name actually is.
I guess she should know better than most.
Lots of countries changed the names of places, Kolkotta, Mumbai are just a couple, but they were basically using the local language version of the "English" name.. we all know that loosely speaking, Holland means The Netherlands...
it's one of those awkward ones that i wouldnt use in a vocal pub quiz, and in a thing like this, filling in the space (as Quizmaster has done) should stop people trying to look for an answer that isnt there
It should be THE Bahamas. Also with THE Gambia. Maybe put them in T? (Sorry if you get notifications and this is a copy notification of the other comment in G’s XD)
I got hung up on the fact that when I do quizzes that include Antigua and Barbuda, I usually type Barbuda (because I remember to add it when I'm adding Barbados) and it counts. So, I kept typing it thinking that I spelled it wrong. Then I ran out of time before getting Belarus. SMH.
I am a pro 😎 I got full marks with 1:54 time left while I knew that Burma is Myanmar thanks to God that I know this so don't argue that Burma is a country because it is not and someone takes so much time to make a quiz don't insult him even if he is not seeing because I also made many quizez so please do not argue there is written no vulgar language we should be thanks to the quiz maker to take some time to make a such a good quiz. I hope you understand what am I saying
Me: trying to remember Burkina-Faso as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Also me: Get's that one song with every country in the world (not Yakko's world, Yakko's world is all the nations) stuck in my head so I remember them anyway.
