No the United Kingdom is wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England. The British isles: Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, England would be considered islands
I agree, I think you mean "Country across FROM Madagascar" perhaps? Maybe mentioning the sea between them, or coming up with a different clue might be better.
Somehow I missed the United Kingdom. I think because I don't think of this country as being "ruled" by a monarch, even though it has one. With the time limit I could have just gone through every country in the world until I got it but I was too lazy. :)
From what I believe, technically the country is ruled by the Queen. It's just that if the Queen decides to overrule the government, the people would revolt or something, seeing as we voted for the government. So in practicality, the government rules the UK, but technically the Queen does.
Lichtenstein is the last name of a famous comic artist, maybe that's what you're all thinking of? Pretty sure (and by that I mean completely sure) that the country is spelled Liechtenstein. Please google/wikipedia search the words "Lichtenstein" and "Liechtenstein"
I think the first clue, 'Low Lands', really bogs us down and hinders it, maybe change it to something like 'country known for its under-sea-level areas' or something?
Almost no one with knowledge of North Korea calls it a communist country any more - because of, you know, the suppressive theocratic monarchy they've got going over there. Since 2009 even DPRK's own constitution makes no reference to communism, only espousing "Juche", the "embodiment of Kim Il-sung's wisdom" (Wikipedia).
there really arent that many countries thatare that unique, and oman is very obvious and is as there isnt a yellow box people are going to find it easier
I'm from the UK and I'm ashamed of how long it took me to get "Island country ruled by queen" - at least I instantly figured out which queen you were referring to.
That's what's the matter with this world today. One fool states fake news and another fool echoes it, and soon, it becomes so. NO, NO,
NO!!!!!!!!!
How about just "Hermit Kingdom"?
