You spelled Hrvatska and Druk Yul wrong, and it looks like al-Maghrib is a common alternative transliteration of المغرب (Morocco).

Also, could you please accept "Viet Nam" without the diacritics? I legit can't figure out how to get that one to trigger with a standard qwerty keyboard.

Cool quiz tho.
