This was so hard I had to think of the African countries at first and then Europe. But I couldn't think of Italy let alone type it in with my bare fingers fast enough. I still was able to beat it cutting it close by 15 seconds.
Tried Guinea-Bissau, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Kiribati, Bhutan, Sealand… then just decided to randomly try pasta-loving countries and got Italy. Very difficult quiz.
