I left out 93, many of which I couldn't spell. And Democratic Republic of THE Congo. Talk about pretentious. Oh, and I forgot France...  |

72 countries remain.I can't believe I've forgot Hungary. I think it's almost impossible to write all of them even without hesitation; it's simply not enough time unless you're a pro typist. I would never guess the English spelling of Kyrgyzstan, !! And I was trying for one whole minute to spell Vatican, Vaticano, Vaticane, Vatikan, Vatican City, Citta del Vaticano...damn! It's not even listed here! I guess they're not in UN ------------- |

Of course this is pretty much just seeing how many countries of the world you can type in 10 minutes, but hey It's all in fun!

 ...I had still many ( at least 20 ) in my mind to write...
And the time finished...
Probably I am soooo slow typing...
I would enjoy it more with 15 minutes...
In the end I MISSED 86...
 ...Of which:NONE European...
ALMOST none continental American, but ALMOST all islands...
ALMOST all Ocania "little" islands...
Few Asian: some little arab ones and some "-istan"...
And soooo many African (
 ) cause the damned 10 minutes finished...I should study islands and arcipelags...
Have I taken this game too serious?
