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". ------------- "PA's own GI Joe!"

You forgot:Denmark, Czech Republic, Montenegro, Macedonia, Moldova, 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).

You forgot:Iceland, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia, Romania, Moldova, Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania, Andorra, Monaco, Luxembourg, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Liechtenstein, Vatican, Cyprus, San Marino, I lost too much time figuring out the spelling of the names ... for example "Cyprus" is "Zypern" in German, "Lithuania" is "Litauen". ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:
