Three seconds per country isn’t much time. It leaves no time to scan the map for smaller countries and such. Plus some countries with long names take a bit of time to type out.

Thanks for the suggestion. Anyway I'm definitely sure 3 seconds per country is the perfect amount of time, as I've done it several times, and I also created another quiz in which you have to name 40 countries in 2 minutes (so basically double the countries and time, then there is the same amount of time available to guess the countries). Unfortunately, I'm not gonna change that, so keep trying and I know for a fact you'll be able to type faster (or maybe you're gonna get lucky and get countries with small names!). Have fun, and if you have more suggestions, feel free to write another comment!

No need to change mate. It's quite easy with 3 secs. Maybe reduce it to 2.5?

Are the Lake outlines supposed to remain or is that a bug?

The Indonesia War for independence went August 1945 to December 1949. The Netherlands and Indonesia should be done together. In 1945, Indonesia was still occupied by the Japanese and the British took over in September.
