It should really be "République de Côte d'Ivoire" since their govt. has stated that is how they want their name to be. As the quiz is in the English language I think Ivory Coast should be used.

This is the Number 1 quiz of any kind anywhere in the world for making people kick themselves. My father and I randomly discovered this one day before it was even a quiz--he just said there aren't that many "I" countries, and started to name them. It took both of us forever to think of Iran and Iraq, even though here in the states they're both in the news constantly. Everyone else I've ever given this little quiz to has taken forever to come up with one or two that are really obvious (in fact, they're all easy).

I've been meaning to for a long time. It all started when Cape Verde decided that their name was going to be "Cabo Verde" in all languages. This forced me to reconsider our naming choices. In almost all cases, we use the colloquial name instead of the official name. Thus "China", not "People's Republic of China", etc... Using Ivory Coast is more consistent with this.

"Côte d'Ivoire" is the colloquial name of "Republic of Côte d'Ivoire," which is the English name of "République de Côte d'Ivoire." If you mean the more common name, then why were you so quick to adopt "Eswatini" and were more concerned about the political implications of adopting "Myanmar" than this "colloquial name" thing even though "Burma" is still much, MUCH more commonly used colloquially.

This is factually incorrect. The official name of the country, in English, is "Ireland". It's in our constitution.

So Ireland is the name of the country and also the name of the island.

When people need to distinguish between the country and the island, they will use the descriptors "Republic of Ireland" or "island of Ireland". This is somewhat analogous to how people say "Washington state" when they need to distinguish from Washington DC, even though the name of the state is "Washington", not "Washington state".

Dear everyone who is mad about the Ivory Coast / Cote D'ivorie:

1. Do you live in the country?

2. Did you read the quiz description? If not, please do!

3. Have you read the first string of comments?

4. Have you been on any other quiz with Ivory Coast?

If so, feel free to complain.

Just know it won't be acknowledged.

Dear everyone who is mad at everyone who is mad about the Ivory Coast / "Cote D'ivorie":

1. People who do still say to use Côte d'Ivoire.

2. If you mean the caveats, that's like saying "oh yeah one of the answers is incorrect" in the caveats.

3. The first string of comments only supports this argument lol, thanks RobNobody.

4. Look at my level. Know I do almost exclusively geography quizzes. Now listen to me when I tell you that I almost always forget about "Ivory Coast" and "East Timor" on quizzes like this despite it being drilled in my head from quizzes like this because my life isn't just JetPunk, and outside of it, I do always use the more correct version.

So, feel free to disregard complaints.

Just know it makes you ignorant.
