You misinterpreted. Scambigol was referring to the alphabetization of the countries.

Hey MightyThor. The e-mail address on your account doesn't look real so I couldn't email you. You should fix that! In any case, we're going to feature this quiz on January 18th.

Level 65

Oct 5, 2017

Hey Quizmaster, I noticed some new things being added about, five minutes ago! What would they be so I don't have to scour the website looking for changes?

Level 66

Oct 6, 2017

I just fixed the email. I laughed when I saw what it said.

Did you really mean to say you will feature it on Jan 18?

Seems like a ton of planning ahead. Anyway, thank you.

Given that it is not yet featured, where did all of these user comments suddenly come from?

Level 65

Oct 6, 2017

There's a list called "New and recently reset quizzes!"

Change your mind?

What about Italia, Hispania and Bosnia? LOL :-)

Level 44

Jan 21, 2018

What is Hispania? If you're talking about Spain, it's Espana, with an accent on the N.

Level 65

Jan 21, 2018

Hispania and Italia are both Latin names

You should add Bosnia :). Otherwise great quizz!

Level 72

Jan 21, 2018

The whole name of the country is Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia is allowed as a type-in to help the slower typers.

Very good quiz, only East Asia caught me out.

Level 68

Jan 22, 2018

A natural quiz that was long overdue! Timed out on me with six countries left so the timing is bang on! True competition against the clock.

Level 73

Jan 22, 2018

Great quiz -- surprisingly hard to remember them all in one go! Took me three times to remember them all, missed different ones each time.

Level 66

Jul 2, 2019

Yes it is weird that it is hard, even if you can list all the countries. Because you look at it from a different angle.

(Like most people cant say the alphabet as fast backwards as they can the normal way. Not the same thing, but similar)

Level 76

Nov 9, 2022

I actually can do the alphabet backwards as fast as I can do it forwards. One of my more useless skills, but if I ever get pulled over, I’m in great shape.

Level 29

Jan 22, 2018

I literally like how I got all the small nations like Saint Lucia but missed bigger ones like Russia and India. Great Job Me

Level 66

Feb 11, 2020

Yup, only ones I missed was Russia and Mongolia and Algeria, and the had typed India just in time..

interesting how Slovakia has the top spot for most guessed. Guess it is because people read about Czechia in the description? (But since when did people start reading those..?)

Level 35

Jan 23, 2018

what about canadia?

Level 44

Jan 24, 2018

Fun fact in Polish so many countries finish with IA or JA that it would be impossible to name them all in 5 minutes for example:

France - Francja

England - Anglia

Netherland - Holandia

Ireland - Irlandia

Spain - Hiszpania

Sweden - Szwecja

Switzerland - Szwajcaria

Norway - Norwegia

Finland - Finlandia

Kenya - Kenia

Libya - Libia

Brazil - Brazylia

Now all of them names come to my mind when i solve this quiz which makes it hard to find the right countires :D

Level 68

Jan 25, 2018

Bulgaria, you escaped me.

Level 66

Jul 2, 2019

I allways have to remember which of the three of roman--,bulgar--,hungar-- does not end in ia. (in my language it is: ië, ije, ije.

Level 20

Apr 3, 2020

lol

Level 55

Jan 26, 2018

their is no Macedonia its FYROM

Level 32

Jan 26, 2018

Former Yugoslav Republic of MacedonIA, also the official term used by Macedonia itself is just Republic of MacedonIA, and FYROM is only used in contexts where Greece would get mad otherwise.

Level 83

Jan 27, 2018

This statement is correct if you invert it.

Level 54

Apr 25, 2022

That still ends with ia same as macedonia and north macedonia

Level 83

Jan 27, 2018

Wasn't there already another recently featured quiz just like this? I sort of remember making a comment that the quiz would have been a lot longer if it was written in Arabic or Latin.

Level 83

Jun 29, 2019

I get why Bosnia isn't included, but it should have a written exception just like the Czech Republic/Czechia.

Level ∞

Jun 29, 2019

Okay

Level 66

Aug 19, 2020

Is it time to acknowledge Czechia? For what it is worth, Europeans have been using it on Reddit.

Level 65

Aug 18, 2020

Good grief.

Level 26

Jun 1, 2021

yare yare

Level 58

Jun 29, 2019

im really surprised the average score is so low on this one, i had time to go through all the countries and still finished with a minute remaining. Maybe because i ignored the prompts of the letter before the ia given already which i felt didn't really help all to much. Anyway really good quiz :)

Level 66

Jul 2, 2019

yea if you do it that way it is faster, when you actually focus on endings with -ia (regardless if you look at the screen or not) it get a lots harder

Apr 20, 2020

What about Eritria?

Level 73

Aug 18, 2020

tiny thing, but the description mentions one country alphabetised by short name rather than long name, where i see two: The Gambia and F.S. Micronesia

this wont end well for me

Level 64

Aug 18, 2020

If you aren't accepting short names (Czechia), then you also shouldn't accept Slovakia, which is officially the Slovak Republic,

Level 66

Sep 26, 2020

Czech Republic is the official Jetpunk name, and Czechia is just an accepted typein.

Level 54

Apr 25, 2022

dont be difficult unless u actually think tht it should be that way czech republic is the real name of czechia, but slovakia is officially named slovakia every country has a real real name tht they shouldnt be talked as like that for slovakia

The actual name for the country is Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Just Bosnia is the colloquial name for convenience sake.

Level 27

Feb 12, 2022

FYI: If this quiz was in Portguese, it would also include: Itália (Italy), Moldávia (Moldova), Polônia (Poland), Tailândia (Thailand), Grécia (Greece), Finlândia (Finland), Islândia (Iceland), Líbia (Libya), Eritreia (Eritrea), Hungria (Húngary), Bielorrússia (Belarus), Ucrânia (Ukraine), and Suécia (Sweden).

But it would not include Cambodia (Camboja)

Idk why I do so poorly on these ___ - endings.

The words just blur together as I run through them, and overlook things like Russia or St Lucia.

I guess my brain doesn't organize things phonetically or by suffixes.
