Both UEFA and FIFA have Scotland Wales England and Northern Ireland as separate countries. They even have Gibraltar and Faroe Islands as ´countries´. So it is not stupid to think it could be an independent nation.

I believe the reason why anyone would ask about Northern Ireland is that the British call it a country even though it's not a sovereign nation. It's just their choice - Just like other countries choose to call their similar areas states.

This is a perfectly reasonable question for people who aren't familiar with country classifications. Anyway, here's my answer:

Northern Ireland is one of the four entities that make up the sovereign nation of the United Kingdom. A common misconception is that it is a country; while England, Scotland and Wales are constituent countries (not sovereign nations) within the UK, Northern Ireland is actually only a province and has never been a country in its own right.

With other first letter country quizzes in which Jetpunk accepts a very common variant, I think the quiz should add a free answer for Papua New Guinea, just to save people typing in the answer. The C first letter quiz does that for both Congos and for Ivory Coast.

The B quiz does so for Myanmar.

The M one does so for Micronesia (although, interestingly, not Myanmar).

See also the P quiz and Palestine.

[Note: I don't think that it's necessary for the Netherlands even though the issue does arise there too.]

Macedonia is a general area in that region, with lots of history. North Macedonia represents that they are in the north of that area. A bit like South Africa, when there's no country called Africa, but it's in respect to where they are in their region/ continent.
