In case you're still wondering, 3 years later: Cote D'Ivoire has indicated that the French version is its official name, even in other languages, it's not just a translation thing. Timor-Leste, however, can be translated into several languages, so in standard English terminology, it's East Timor.
Timor-Leste is, by its government's declaration, the same in every language (the only other countries in this category are Côte d'Ivoire and Cabo Verde).

Let's settle it: They are called Timorian colony of Nauru and Ivorian colony of Nauru. Long live the world's superpower, the Imperial Kingdom of Nauru!
Why not bring this thread into March 2022? It should be East Timor. Also, Can I get a badge for reading all of this? I could make a book series out of this.
Fun Fact: Defenestration is a word which means "to throw someone out of a window", and multiple cases of defenestration have occurred in the Czech Republic.
Interestingly enough, it used to be a country, but not anymore. And, no, Texas is not in Canada, but rather is now part of the United Alliance of Kyrgyzstan. :)
Please expand? I live in uk but how ''do texans live''? Beyonce? Travic Scott? Booker T? texas seems nice but you didnt really say what it reprense there.

Area of the Mongol Empire at maximum extent: 9.27 million square miles. 100x bigger than the Mongol Empire: 927 million square miles. Area of Earth: 197 million square miles. That's quite the empire!
The Bahamas and The Gambia has the in their official names. It does, however, not coutn in the alphabitcally order. It's like if you take a list of misicias. The Beatles will be under 'B' and not 'T'.
Kind of funny that El Salvador is on the "E" quiz, not the "S" quiz, but The Gambia is on the "G," not the "T" quiz. I guess Spanish articles are special.
yeah and they annexed it? im not happy with it either but its not like taiwan or other countries without much recognition that have full or at least SOME border control. it is a country no longer.
I'm curious how many hits we get from China. I don't know if it's accurate but I just checked on some website to see if Jetpunk was blocked there already and it says that it is not.
Thanks, Quizmaster for generating a quiz that has, in turn, generated a fascinating and amusing collection of comments over more than 5 years discussing marvelously trivial (and not so trivial) facts and di minimis data. Interesting, witty, and courteous chat. Fun to read.
Could Trinidad & Tobago be accepted as TAT? That would go a bit faster, because I was not really great in time the first time I tried this quiz and struggled getting Trinidad & Tobago in time.
I feel like The Gambia's official name is The Gambia, which starts with T. But perhaps I am wrong. "According to the CIA World Factbook, the US Department of State, the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World and the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use, the Gambia is one of only two countries whose self-standing short name for official use should begin with the word "The" (the other one being The Bahamas)." Wikipedia Thank you for the excellent quiz.
Aghhhh TAIWAN!!!! although Taiwan is technicality apart of china not a county but then Taiwan is a country so.......AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH why is china making everything so HARD
it has official relations with 14 countries and unofficial relations with many more, including the US and Japan vowing to protect it in the event of a Chinese invasion. it has complete border control and governs itself, too. By every metric it is a country, regardless of whether other countries officially recognize it as so. Also, many, if not most countries that do not recognize it only to so because they want to trade with the peoples republic of china. it is not a part of china nor is it an autonomous region of china.
Countries that recognize Taiwan: Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Vatican City, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Paraguay, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Tuvalu. So we live in a world where it only takes 13 countries to recognize it to become a country? LMFAO If it is a country, why doesn't the US or the United Nations recognize it???
Anyways what about Yugoslavia?
Be sovereign, the land of Vanuatu.
