There are two different "Congos," (Democratic Republic of and Republic of). We count The People's Republic of China as "China," so it does seem equal to "Congo" in this case...

I could go in to depth about why we don't allow the Congos on this quiz. But it would be easier just to show that Wikipedia makes the same choice as we do. Yet no matter how it is done, one thing remains certain. People will whine!

Aruba is also a "country" in the same way that wales is - Wales, Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland are all countries in the United Kingdom, and Aruba, Curacao, Sint Maarten, and the country of the Netherlands are all countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. That being said, Aruba is not a sovereign state and should not be included on this quiz.

That's a good point, but...

Burma is what the country was originally called before military rule, and many still call it that today, partially in support of the Burmese democracy movement. Also, the US and UK (according to the BBC) still officially call it Burma, even though the UN calls it Myanmar.

I got this info from searching "Should it be Burma or Myanmar?" on the BBC's website.

It is always Burma on this website. Always. The name of that country is a matter of contention, and certain nations do not recognize it, even though the UN does. The United States is one of those countries. Just know that on this site it's always Burma, so at least there is no inconsitancy here.

Congo should be in there. If it's considered the "Democratic Republic of the Congo," (ironic because it's not democratic and it's not a republic, it's a mass of warring tribes), then Mexico should be under "United States of Mexico," China is "The People's Republic of China," (also ironic because of limited human rights), North Korea should be the DPRK-Democratic People's Republic of Korea (notice a trend here?), and Russia should be the Russian Federation.

Yes, but if you talk about 'Mexico' people will know what country you mean. If you talk about 'Congo' or 'Korea', you will have to elaborate to specify which country you are talking about. Congo shouldn't be on the list.

Level 73
Oct 10, 2014
Yes, but no. The country was named after the River and the river most likely after a section which was locally referred to as "black river". In both cases (the river and your word) the reference is made to black or it's latin/spanish equivalent rather. The same origins, but in a slightly different way.

If it was my quiz, just to stop the complaints I would have included Congo (and filled in two boxes) and Korea. In all these cases it would be on the grounds that the "name" part of the country name - even if it's shared - has five letters in English. (And Congo counts not twice but three times - because of Zaire!) I wouldn't have included Wales because it's not a sovereign nation and it's not included in the Countries of the World quiz.

But like I say, I'm just saying what I would have done, not criticizing the quizmaster's decisions.

Don't give in! There are two countries - Democratic Republic of Congo, and Republic of Congo (which I'm guessing is....less democratic!). No such place as Congo anymore. If you're going to call it Congo, why not go all out and call DRC the old name of Zaire and it would still be on the list!

I think the best way of handling Congo is to treat it the same as Burma -- put it in greyed out. There are lots of other countries with "Republic" in the name that we don't use in Jetpunk. The only reason we need to use it in this case is to distinguish it from the DRC. So to remove the controversy, I suggest treating it like Burma.

Enough of the misogynistic name of this country being forced on us. It's time it was split it into two equal parts, Yemen and Yewomen. Guyana's just as bad. Half of it should become Galana. I refuse to travel to these places until these atrocities are corrected. On second thought forget about Guyana, Portugal kind of balances it out, but Yemen, I'm still looking at you.

I feel like an idiot for explaining this, because this is THE most common argument that shows up in all the quizzes including Burma(Myanmar). I'm sure people are exhausted of hearing this argument.

Anyway, Burma had been used for centuries before 1948, when Burma got independence. The military there changed the name to Myanmar, but many countries still call it Burma. Jetpunk agrees with it being called Burma. Many Burmese call themselves Burmese, and it is still the official title. Honestly, I'd rather be called Burmese than the alternative, Myanmese.

DeusCaritasEst

So I looked it up because Myanmese just didn't seem quite right, and apparently people from there are called either Burmese or Myanma. TMYK. And here I was over here trying to make Myanmarian a word...
