I mean, we ARE the United States of AmericA. And that's not even one of those fancy pants official country names like Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea that nobody outside of that country (and the IOC) actually uses.
I really don't see why the time is set to just two minutes. With the yellow box employed, there's no risk of anyone speedily rattling out all the countries and getting all the answers that way. With the current time there's barely any room to even think. I suggest increasing the time to 3 or 4 minutes, as is usual with quizzes of this size.
Note to self: always look at the picture before starting a quiz.
