All Nations that Have Ever Participated in the Olympics
List every country that has ever participated in either the Summer or Winter Olympics.
Includes territories and regions that are not independent countries.
Successor and predecessor states will be filled when either is named.
Countries that gained independence from another country must be named individually.
Why does Russia unlock some others don't? British Virgin Islands should unlock Virgin Islands, Czechia should unlock Bohemia and Malaysia should unlock Malaya.
Edit:checked the source and the standalone "Virgin Islands" are the US Virgin Islands, that should be accepted.
Czechia now counts for Bohemia. USVI now counts for Virgin Islands.
Counting Malaysia for Malaya feels too much like defeating the purpose of the quiz being all nations that have ever participated, as other federations would have to count for all of the predecessors. Russia counting for the USSR is different because the USSR is a successor to the Russian Empire.
Ugh. Any chance "UK Virgin Islands" could be accepted for "British Virgin Islands?"
I know that's not exactly how it's represented in the Olympics but non Olympic-specific type-ins are accepted in other cases. When I tried "UK Virgin Islands" and it didn't take, I assumed I was remembering incorrectly and abandoned that entrant...
