I did it after turning off the timer. It took a very very long time. There are a couple of errors that make it very challenging. North Macedonia is listed as an M country, Eswatini is still listed as Swaziland and some standard JetPunk shortcuts aren't accepted (Antigua and Barbuda) require full name.
