Ugh, this again. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are not independent countries. They are not represented separately at the United Nations, do not issue their own passports, or grant citizenship. If you're from there (as I am!!), you're legally British. They are all constituent parts of the The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

happy to admit I only missed the last two. though i must admit it helps knowing all your countries, because the last four I just got by remembering which I had missed, and trying them out.

and yea weird how 7% didnt know what portugal, malta, monaco, or liechtenstein would be in english haha. 9% even for moldova.

Oh man, some of the questions on this quiz were so hard! Like I had no clue what "United Kingdom" was, much less "Danmark," "France," "Portugal," "Moldova," "San Marino," and "Kosova"!

Real talk though: why do some Slavic countries not use the Cyrillic alphabet? Have a lot of the countries switched to distance themselves from Russia/cultivate closer ties to Western Europe? I know Kazakhstan switched alphabets recently for that reason exactly, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same for Croatia and Albania (among others).

Most Slavic countries that use the Latin alphabet use it because they were catholicised and under the rule of other Latin using countries (Germany, Hungary, Austria) for centuries
