Nice idea, might use a little more time, though: Even with an optimized list (does someone find a possibility with less than 48 names?) in another window to just re-type it into the answer field there's only 9 seconds left.

I did it with 4 seconds left. lemme break it down.

the americas are easy, you just need a few words, europe you need one less than in the americas but ends up with two individual extras(that you have to type it in just to get that single country) in africa you need ten of them with three extras, and nine in asia with six extras. basically you need to write 40 to 50 words in 1.5min.

Oceania is Oceania, most of them you will have to type it out with few exceptions.

Nothing i said made it obvious what countries you have to pick to win, but if youre really really good at puzzles you might be able to find the same solution I did, good luck, its doable in 1.5min.

great quiz btw!
