It gives you 5 minutes to write all 49 countries! So test your geography skills now, and let us kow how it went. I myself could just not remember what Österreich was in English, (only german), Austria that is... oops, that's a clue to you, oh well, don't make the same mistake I did.

Woot!
I only missed 7
Montenegro, Lativa, Azerbajian, Armenia, Cyprus, Malta, Liechtenstein (which I remembered but couldn't spell).
I think that's not too bad.

I didn't read the thread in order not to get hints. I didn't know how to write Montenegro (I thought it's Muntenegro) and Azerbaijan (I thought it's Azerbaidjan), and I forgot Monaco. I guess I did pretty well.
Indeed some of them are asian countries by geography, but politically and socially they're moving more and more towards "europeanship".

Luxembourg, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Liechtenstein, Cyprus,
Malta, San Marino
 
I especially feel dumb that I didn't think of Denmark. Forgot that Montenegro was apart from Serbia. Couldn't remember Liechtenstein's name. Didn't know how to spell Azerbaijan in English, and was wrestling for half a minute with Tchechia... Tschechia... Tschech, only to find out that it was Czech (republic) (in Dutch we say Tsjechië).
