I suppose it's better to laugh at these things (http://www.wat.tv/playlist/689334/video/740941/blonde-americaine-geographie.html) rather than find them depressing...

So as to give a little more substance to this thread, how many countries can you name from memory, without cheating? One simple rule: There are 192 countries which are members of the UN. (193 countries are recognised by the UN, but the Holy See is not a member.) How many of those can you list from memory?

Canada
United States
Mexico
Belize
Guatemala
Nicaragua
Costa Rica
Panama
Columbia
Venezuela
Bolivia
Brazil
French Guiana
Argentina


I could name more, dozens more, but about to head home from work. That's just the western hemisphere.

I always find these clips funny. Shows there are dumb people everywhere. I bet though that that woman can do her hair and makeup much better then you or I.


As for your question I bet I can name 95%-100% on a good night sleep.

And that video... It's Kellie Pickler! She don't need no brain.

191 and all of the states of the US. I always keep forgetting Poland for some reason, though.

Don't mean to get all technical, but if you include England then you have to include Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland too. But like the countries I've just listed, England isn't a country recognised by the U.N, so you should say U.K

The U.S, Germany, France, England, Scotland, Ireland,( Is Wales still a country?), Norway, Japan, Eruguay, Finland, Russia, China, Bobland, Panama, Brazil, Venezuala, Canadia, Mexica, Veitnam, N and S Korea, Ethiopia, Singapore, Peru, Argentina and finally Phantasmagoria, to name a few.

Wales is classed as a country within the U.K (as are England, Scotland etc.) it has it's own language, anthem, flag etc. but all three make up the U.K (along with Northern Ireland) which is recognised by the U.N

Ahh ok thanks, I thought the english had conquered and incorperated them into england a thousand years back, but I was not sure. Thanks for the answer.

Edit: I skimmed the wiki link, nice country you have for yourself. I am speaking of the landscape of course, I couldnt say any thing else about it as I have not been there.

That's pretty much what happened, but Wales has alot of regional autonomy and a strong national identity still. The situation is similar to that of Catalunya and Spain

and ecuador

brazil...

then it gets tedious. The typing, not the countries.

Greenland is not an independent country, and hence is not a member of the UN. It is a dependency of Denmark.

China, N. Korea, S. Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Loas, Burma(myanmar), Thailand, Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor, India, Bangeldesh, Australia, Vatican City, New Zealand, Sri Lanka.

Bloody hell, I forgot Sri Lanka! :eek:

Glancing at other lists reminds me I also forgot Ethiopia, Eritrea, Benin, Guatemala, St Kitts & Nevis and Cameroon. I am deeply, deeply contrite. :(

<SNIP>

Well done! Just a few mistakes. Kosovo, Northern Cyprus and Western Sahara are not internationally recognised, and are not among the 192 UN members. Neither is the Republic of China.

Khadgar, French Guiana is an overseas department of France (and is considered to be part of France, rather than a French dependency). It's not a member of the UN.

I forgot Costa Rica, Ghana, Burundi and Liberia, but everyone seems to have forgotten them. :p

And there are still 6 that are completely unaccounted for.

*get pointer*

You so know whats coming (http://youtube.com/watch?v=IDtdQ8bTvRc) :D

He mentions England and Scotland, but not Wales! :eek:

Polynesia
Is Polynesia a country?

Still, you beat me at my known weakness (Africa and island nations). Can't believe I missed San Marino.

ugh...too tedious. I got 118.

117. ;) Aruba isn't independent.

I just noticed Taiwan in someone's list. Is it represented at the U.N as Taiwan, Rep. of China, or even at all?

Not at all. The UN recognises only one China, and considers Taiwan to be a province of the PRC.

Damn. Nice job. I don't think "Polynesia" is a country though.

He mentions England and Scotland, but not Wales! :eek:

Imagine how annoying it is for me when abroad!

Them: "Oh, you're English?"

Me: "No, actually, I'm Welsh"

Them: "Oh, I thought that was in England!"

Or

Them: "Where's that?"

Me: *sighs* "It's like Ireland"

I am deeply, deeply contrite.
You're penitent before God? I suspect you are merely attrite.

Is Polynesia a country?


Nope. Polynesia is a region which includes Tonga, Samoa, American Samoa, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Tuvalu, Hawaii, the Cook Islands and several other countries and territories.

117. ;) Aruba isn't independent.



Not at all. The UN recognises only one China, and considers Taiwan to be a province of the PRC.

Only because the People's Republic has a veto. There's no credible reason not to count the Republic of China as a country (though it naturally isn't among the 193).

... Subtracting all the ones I made up, that leaves quite a few I forgot or don't even know about. I have a feeling I reduced the states of the former Soviet Union by about a half. And Africa. And Polynesia - sorry, Ariddia. :p
Oh well, at least I didn't cheat. *proud*

103 off the top of my head, but I could only think of 16 in Africa. >_<

Imagine how annoying it is for me when abroad!

Or

Them: "Where's that?"

Me: *sighs* "It's like Ireland"
You must have a weak accent to get mistaken for English. My family's from Llandudno - there's no way anyone would take them for English (twp, maybe, but not English).

Perhaps around Monmothshire the accent would sound quite similar the the uninitiated.

I forgot Costa Rica, Ghana, Burundi and Liberia, but everyone seems to have forgotten them. :p
I didn't. :cool:

But that's about all I can gloat about -just a quick scroll up a couple posts has revealed such evil things like Vanuatu and Samoa. Hrmph.

Also, it's not the UK but its parts? Because I totally had those and then thought "Nah..." and changed it. *mopes*

Lol! Yeah, actually. I'm from Cwmbran (near Newport) and I could see Bristol from my bedroom window when I was growing up.

Ivory Coast! Turkmenistan! Argh!

Germany (uber alles, that's why it's first ;))
Good boy. *pats*

There's actually only one country that matters in the world, and that's America. Duh.

Ivory Coast! Turkmenistan! Argh!

Did anyone remember Luxembourg or Monaco?

<SNIP>

Not bad. ;) Serbia and Montenegro are now two seperate countries, though. Malta is indeed an independent country, and a member of the EU as well as the UN.

Those that shouldn't be in your list: Chechnya (considered by the UN to be part of Russia), Tibet (considered to be part of China), Cook Islands (self-governing territory under New Zealand sovereignty), Tokelau (colony of New Zealand), Aruba (territory of... uhm, the Netherlands, I think), French Guyana (part of France), West Sahara (considered by the UN to be part of Morocco, although recognised by the African Union), "The other Yemen" (there is only one Yemen now), Dubai (part of the UAE, indeed).

On the other hand, you thought of a few that I forgot, including Trinidad & Tobago and the Seychelles. ;) (Which, if I've counted correctly, still leaves four that nobody has thought of and that I can't remember.)

Not entirely accurate (http://youtube.com/watch?v=IDtdQ8bTvRc), but a friend of mine is trying to memorise the list.

St. Kitts and Nevis?

Also, it's not the UK but its parts? Because I totally had those and then thought "Nah..." and changed it. *mopes*

No, it's the UK. The UK is composed of four constituent countries, three of which have devolved governments, but only the UK as a whole has sovereignty and is a member of the UN.

Did anyone remember Luxembourg or Monaco?

Yes, me. :p The country I live in borders both of them.

Imagine how annoying it is for me when abroad!

Them: "Oh, you're English?"

Me: "No, actually, I'm Welsh"

Them: "Oh, I thought that was in England!"

Or

Them: "Where's that?"

Me: *sighs* "It's like Ireland"

I sympathise.

Here in France most people say "England" when they mean "the UK". Consequently, they think Scotland and Wales are part of England.

You're penitent before God? I suspect you are merely attrite.

Hmmm. At least one source (http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q=define%3A+contrite&meta=) appears to suggest that the word is sometimes used in a non-religious sense. I'll check in a paper dictionary tomorrow.

Only because the People's Republic has a veto. There's no credible reason not to count the Republic of China as a country (though it naturally isn't among the 193).

I quite agree.

all i can get... it's 113. Wow.

We have a winner!

Did anyone remember Luxembourg or Monaco?'Course.

Not bad. ;) Serbia and Montenegro are now two seperate countries, though.
Excellent, then they count as two. 180! :D

Those that shouldn't be in your list: Chechnya (considered by the UN to be part of Russia),
Damn, I actually added that at the end and was all proud of myself. 179.

Tibet (considered to be part of China),
Yeah, well, fuck China. 178, grudgingly.

Cook Islands (self-governing territory under New Zealand sovereignty), Tokelau (colony of New Zealand),
And there go half my Pacific Islands... 176.
Aruba (territory of... uhm, the Netherlands, I think), French Guyana (part of France),
Boo for colonies. 174.
West Sahara (considered by the UN to be part of Morocco, although recognised by the African Union)
Yeah, wasn't sure. 173.
"The other Yemen" (there is only one Yemen now),
:eek: Really?! I had no idea. 172.
Dubai (part of the UAE, indeed).
Bah. 171.

I got 106, not including countries I invented on the spot because they sounded good.

Boo for colonies. 174.

French Guyana isn't a "colony", it's officially part of France. So there. :p


I had a penpal in Tobago once, hence I always remember T&T. *nod*

Really? That must have been interesting.


Also, surely there is a list somewhere to compare?

Hmm, let's see... *wanders off to search*

A-ha! here: http://www.un.org/members/list.shtml

My sincere apologies to the people of Jordan (how could I have forgotten? :eek:) and Mozambique.

Okay, I for one forgot these when comparing to wiki's list:

Angola
Antigua & Barbuda
Benin
Comoros
Côte d'Ivoire
Djibouti
Dominica
The Gambia
Grenada
Guinea
Guinea Bissau
Marshall Islands
Mauritius
Nauru
Saint Lucia
Samoa
Sao Tome and Principe

Most of those are really obvious. Senegal! Benin! Angola! Tonga! Mauritius! Oh well.

Also, there are officially too many countries with a version of "Guinea/Guyana/Whatever" in their name.

Every country, with capitals:
- snip -
Did you copy&paste that or do you actually know them all by heart? :eek:

Belize (may have mispelled)

Nope, spelling is good.


Execudor

You've just invented that one. And if it did exist, I would never visit a country with a name like that. ;)


El Savidor

El Salvador. Meaning the Saviour.


Chekoslovakia (Chek Republic)

Czechoslovakia broke up into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.


Corsica
Sardinia

Part of France and Italy respectively.


Yugoslavia

No longer exists.


Crete

Part of Greece.


Kajikstan

You've just invented this one. ;)


Palestine

Not officially an independent country.


Gold Coast

That was the former name of Ghana, I think.


Congo

Which one? :p


Hong Kong

Part of China.


Taiwan

Officially part of China.

Not bad on the whole, though. :)

Did you copy&paste that or do you actually know them all by heart? :eek:

If you check the time between that post and my previous one you will see that I could never have typed all that in such a short time. I figured that people would see that and realise that I cop.... I mean, that I'm a super-fast genius!

I sincerly hope spelling does not count:p Yeah, this thread marked the first time I ever used jolt's spell check (didn't even know we had that).

Also, there are officially too many countries with a version of "Guinea/Guyana/Whatever" in their name.

Guinea, Guyana, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea and Papua New Guinea. They do it to confuse. :)

Incidentally, the island of New Guinea was so called because when the Spanish found it, they thought the inhabitants looked "African". Which explains why you have a country with "Guinea" in its name all the way over in the Pacific.

To confuse people even more, Papua New Guinea has islands called New Britain and New Ireland.

If you check the time between that post and my previous one you will see that I could never have typed all that in such a short time. I figured that people would see that and realise that I cop.... I mean, that I'm a super-fast genius!

Guinea, Guyana, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea and Papua New Guinea. They do it to confuse. :)
And stupid French Guiana, non-colony or not, don't forget them. With their stupid "look at us, we're different" spelling. :p Which, to make matters even worse, is not spelled "Guiana" in German but "Guayana". Which explains why I spelled it that way. *boggles*

Also, while you're here and answering questions and I'm too lazy to ask the internet at my finger tips: what does Guinea (and all its versions) actually mean?

I could name more, dozens more, but about to head home from work. That's just the western hemisphere.

At the risk of sounding obvious (and I'm probably way too late in pointing this out), but the Western Hemisphere does consist of a lot more than just the Americas you know... like, say, half the UK, a bit of France, Spain, Portugal and several west African countries.

It's not as if the Greenwich Meridian passes through south London after all.

guin·ea (gĭn'ē)
n.
(Abbr. g.)
A gold coin issued in England from 1663 to 1813 and worth one pound and one shilling.
The sum of one pound and one shilling.
Offensive Slang. Used as a disparaging term for a person of Italian birth or descent.
[After the GUINEA coast of Africa, the source of the gold from which it was first made.]

Well, I knew about the coin (though not that it was named for its place of origin). But of course that begs the question even more why all these countried were named Guinea, even before the coin.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea_%28region%29

This might answer (haven't actually read it yet though)

"The name comes from the Berber term "aginaw" via Portuguese; it originally meant "black" (or, in context, "land of the blacks.")"

Aha! That explains Ariddia's post above about the naming of Papua New Guinea.

Sayeth the Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea_%28region%29): "The name comes from the Berber term "aginaw" via Portuguese; it originally meant "black" (or, in context, "land of the blacks.")".

lol, no worries! Stuff like that bugs me until I have to know!

Thanks, even if Keriona beat you by a couple minutes. =)

Probably.

You French aren't good at translating numbers. They said $10,000 and the subtitle said 20,000$.

Ooo I like you!

I try to help out :)

Thanks, even if Keriona beat you by a couple minutes. =)

I think that's all of them.

I didn't do too well on the 10 minute test, because I can't type fast.

I tried to count that and counted 197, which means I probably miscounted and you very probably actually named all the recognized countries on the planet. You win the thread, it would seem.

:eek:

ugh...that was painful to watch...pfft...France

Budapest = Capital of Hungary.

Hey, at least the kid knew.

I tried to count that and counted 197, which means I probably miscounted and you very probably actually named all the recognized countries on the planet. You win the thread, it would seem.

:eek:

Not all countries are universally recognized. For example, Saudi Arabia recognizes Palestine but the United States of America does not.

There's no way I'm going to win this, so I'm just going to be a humbugger and say "nations are just fortresses of race. Let's forget race, and get rid of nations."

Oh, I'd estimate I could do 60 without cheating. There's no way of proving cheating, so it's not a real competition anyway.

Ugh .. watch me struggle to get 50.

USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru, Columbia, Cuba, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvidor, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, China, N Korea, S Korea, Mongolia, Russia, Ukraine, Australia, New Zealand, India, Kurdistan, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, [Angola, Soweto, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique and Botswana] (I remember those in that order from an old song lol), Kenya, Sudan, South Africa, Nigeria, Greenland, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, France, (Ireland, Scotland, <s>Britain</s>, Wales, England), Austria, Switzerland, Holland.. Poland!, Italy, Greece ... Vatican, <s>Turdistan</s> .. Turkistan, Turkey!, Lebanon...Spain... Morocco... ... ... I suck! .. *tries to remember capitals ... to help remember the country* Brussels .. Brussels *cheats* Belgium!.. that's about it for now. For Shame! Jordan!

Uh...not that I don't trust that everyone who posted lists didn't look at previous posts...but I'm thinking that this kind of display isn't going to give you a terribly accurate sample of what someone knows off the top of their head.

That said, I always forget all the "nations" in the Greater/Lesser Antilles. Too many of them and too damned small. I can ace Europe and the Americas and do a good job on Asia, but Oceania and Africa are my weak spots. Africa keeps splintering and re-forming, and Oceania...again, too much area and too many atolls.

Damn I can't believe I forgot Taiwan ... that name is on about as many things as China.

Oh nevermind.. China rules it..

Damn I can't believe I forgot Taiwan ... that name is on about as many things as China.

Ah, but the Chinese are glad you forgot it. It's just a province to them.

Yep just looked it up.

And I wanted to put Tibet on my list.. but I figured it would've been wrong.

W00t! Another thread win! :D

And I wanted to put Tibet on my list.. but I figured it would've been wrong.

There's always wishful thinking.

117 without reading the thread... I'm proud to have gotten ones like Belize, Benin, Lesotho, St Kitts&Nevis, Suriname, Eritrea and Qatar, but somehow I also managed to forget some glaringly obvious African countries (Cameroon? And how in the world could I have forgotten Peru?! Oh, and I nearly forgot all of Scandinavia and the Baltic countries; shame on me), and I cannot and will not for the life f me remember all those freaking island thingies (okay, so I do Cuba/Haiti/DomRep, but that's it. And Madagascar, because of the movie. And St Kitts&Nevis, because I used their flag for a long time on one of my NS nations).

French Guiana


French Guyana isn't a country. It's a department of France.

ok now, I'll try:

Europe:
Iceland, Ireland, UK, Portugal, Spain, Andorra, France, Monaco, Italy, San Marino, Vatican City (not UN), Malta, Slovenija, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia (FYROM), Serbia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia, Armenija, Georgia, Azerbaidjan, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark (I don't remember the status of Greenland), Netherlands, Luxemburg, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Czech Rep., Poland, Slovakia, Cyprus

Asia:
Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kirgyzistan, (I know I'm missing a former soviet republic here), PR China, China (Taiwan, not UN iirc), North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Burma (Myanmar), East Timor, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Brunei, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, (hopefully someday Kurdistan), Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, (Palestinian National Authority - non UN member)

Americas:
Canada, USA, Mexico, Cuba, Trinidad & Tobago (???), Dominican Rep., Haiti, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Ecuador, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay

Oceania:
Australia, New Zealand, Vanuatu (?), Kiribati, Samoa, Fiji ... really can't remember anymore.

(about 15 minutes)


reading the thread, I've forgotten Cameroon, Benin, St.Kitts & whatever. And Mali and Togo, also now come to my mind.

Blast! If only I'd been online when this thread started...
I think that I could probably have named all of them, although maybe not in just 10 minutes, but now that so many other people have posted lists there doesn't seem much point...

I think that's all of them.


If I've counted right, you've got 189, excluding Taiwan and including the Vatican. That's better than my 176 (well done! :eek:), but unless I miscounted you missed four. ;)

I don't know how many of the first 192 I could name, but i know the 193rd :)

Ignorance is really a bliss.

120 nations... :)

With the gradual loss of sovereignty of EU component states to the EU and its component agreements, the EU basically is "becoming" a country, though gradually.

120 nations... :)

Not bad. ;)

With the gradual loss of sovereignty of EU component states to the EU and its component agreements, the EU basically is "becoming" a country, though gradually.

If that ever happens, it won't be for a long, long time.

I can't quite imagine France and Poland as part of the same "country" yet. ;)

As I said - "slowly".

With the gradual loss of sovereignty of EU component states to the EU and its component agreements, the EU basically is "becoming" a country, though gradually.

Well, the EU is gradually becoming the European Federation, which is probably a good idea. Some people might start taking Europe seriously then.

I have a question to those from US.

Do you know where is Latvia?

I have a question to those from US.

Do you know where is Latvia?

I have a question to those who obviously feel a need to flaunt their feeling of intellectual superiority:

Do you know about determiners and grammatical word order in the English language?

(Ireland, Scotland, Britain, Wales)

Makes no sense. Please revise your statement.

Also, in reference to the video posted at the start:
Why do you let people that stupid live?

Well, the EU is gradually becoming the European Federation, which is probably a good idea. Some people might start taking Europe seriously then.
But how seriously should people take a grouping whose "central government" (i.e. the European Commission) has now had its annual accounts rejected as inadequate by the official auditors for thirteen consecutive years? :(

Ariddia, that show is known in America for its absolute retardedness. It's not very representative of us... not all of us, anyway;)

No kidding, I want to get on that damn show, I'd clean up house! Compared to the contestants they DO find....

I have a question to those who obviously feel a need to flaunt their feeling of intellectual superiority:

English, motherfucker, do you speak it?!

Fix'd.

Also, in reference to the video posted at the start:
Why do you let people that stupid live?

Somehow, we feel that they have a right to live; incidentally, so we think that people who wouldn't grant that right to others do, albeit that is more controversial than the consensus to let the ignorant live.

Fix'd.

Well, umm, as an ESL student myself, I didn't dare. That, and the future ESL teacher and her high hopes for educating the world shone through for just a second.

Sorry.

Don't worry, we still heart you :)

Don't worry, we still heart you :)

Please do not take this as a sign that I didn't understand yo perfectly well; I was just curious as to what UrbanDictionary had to say about "heart", and it was indeed a curious read that I recommend to bored internet companions if they so desire. ;P

The boy is cool! Not so much because he got the answer right, but look at the faces he pulls!

(I got to 175 in the country list...I think the countries I missed out on are mainly in the Pacific and Caribic is I'm not sure which are countries and which are merely protectorates or dependencies...)

No kidding, I want to get on that damn show, I'd clean up house! Compared to the contestants they DO find....

Well, the kid on the show saved the nation's honour. ;)

Whoever said Taiwan is a province of China: this is most offensive suggestions!

Yes, Taiwan government does not dispute it. But on the bottom of each Taiwanese is written "Made in Taiwan" and on the bottom of each Chinese is written "Made in China."

And I can prove this fact!

If it is required, I can make all citizens of Taiwan and citizens of China lower their trousers and show you their bottoms.

Butt I am sure you cannot handle the truth. So I will now run away.

<SNIP>

I think you need to stop, take a deep breath, read what people have actually written, concentrate hard on the meaning of the words, and think. That's why you have a brain.

I separately named them, but counted them basically as one hence the ( ). And I should'nt had. They are 2, not 1. Like the person below me states. Great Britain is Britain and N Ireland.. then the rest of Ireland .. the Republic.

Made a mistake even in naming them all separately when I said .. Britain .. I was thinking of England.

Despite people writing England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the only two recognised nations in the British Isles are the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Eire).

I could only remember 122. The easiest way to do it, I think, it to mentally picture each continent and kind of skip around from region to region. I did terrible with Africa and Oceania. Edit: Damn it I forgot Ireland! Apologies to the Irish.

Sings the Animaniacs Nation's of the world song.

Funny, I know it under a different name... this one (http://www.snabbstart.com/film/372f9a61e2)?

Since when is Yakko Warner not an Animaniac?

Sweety, I've never heard "Yakko" before having seen that film, and "Animaniac" I still don't know, so... I never said he/it wasn't, I just knew it only under that one name. Chill out, folks, I never said Junii was wrong or anything...

Chill out, folks, I never said Junii was wrong or anything...He is, though... Plenty of those aren't countries anymore/at all. :p

If you think just that particular segment was bad, try watching the entire episode. I think my IQ dropped about 70 points just by seeing it.

Why did you have to do that and get that song stuck in my head? I must have vengeance...but I can only think of one thing to do...

Congratulations, you just lost The Game

Should express my displeasure well enough.

Czechy, Slovakia

I think it's fairly safe to point out that the song would have probably most likely stated "Czechoslovakia".

I remember the Nation song and that it was on Animaniacs, so...

a friend of mine and I got into an argument about it. so we looked it up.

@ Laerod: but they were right when the song was made... :p

If I've counted right, you've got 189, excluding Taiwan and including the Vatican. That's better than my 176 (well done! :eek:), but unless I miscounted you missed four. ;)

I found three that I missed: Hungary (a really obvious one! :headbang:), Albania (again, obvious), and Brunei (a little more obscure, but I know where it is, it shares the island of Borneo with Indonesia and Malaysia).

As geographically touching as that may be, the British Isles include Eire and isn't recognised as a separate country anyway. It's the United Kingdom (including the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands) and the Republic of Ireland, nothing else.

Oh, I give up. Not going to bother with all the little island countries. Damn them, damn them all.

Okay, so I got about 110 and forgot Bangladesh, Peru, Syria and Sri Lanka amongst others. Oops.

I can name roughly 180 countries from memory and place them correctly on a map...to the amazement of everybody in my geography class. I'd name them here, but that really doesn't prove anything.
