If JetPunk ever recognizes "Czechia" as its primary name, there will be a "-hia"!

Its full name is Bosnia and Herzegovina, meaning it ends in -ina.

The full name of Russia is Russian Federation, but Russia counted as an "SIA" ending. If one works, both should work. On most maps, Bosnia is just known as Bosnia, just like Russia.

Not the point. There are numerous examples where the country's official name is different from the standard short form name. What's printed on a map is irrelevant. There is no country called Bosnia.

Ok my brain froze.. only got 7. Somehow I immediately thought the first letter would be the first letter of the country. Read the description, saw that it was not, but I could not get my brain to see it any other way.. The struggle to get 7 was hard! (and one was indeed an accident, bulgaria for bia... It went like, ok so these are the last three letters... not the initial one and ending in ia... so bia will be....bulgaria what no ugh)
