Fun and not too hard. Although the monarchy one is a bit unfair. It was once called the Kingdom of Israel. It was a long time ago, but your caveats didn’t say it was only talking about only the current iteration of its government.

That's true, but he says the quiz is about the modern-day countries. The ancient Israel kingdom only shares the name with actual Israel.
