You need to use yellow box and Liberia gained independence from the USA not the UK.

Please accept Swaziland as a type-in. ESwatini is not widely used nor accepted.

Great quiz. Would be nice to accept the name of the country as it was at the time (I noticed Zaire didn't work).

It wasn't called Zaire until 1971, it was originally just "Republic of the Congo" (yes, identical to its western neighbor, they added the "Democratic" bit in 1964 to fix that). Everyone called them Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Leopoldville respectively though.
