According to Wikipedia, Ivory Coast is officially "the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire", which starts with a C, hence excluding Ivory Coast from this.

I mean that could be why, although I'm pretty sure jetpunk considers its name to be Ivory Coast in which case sir you would be correct

Yeah. When this quiz was first created in 2015 (and then most recently edited in 2019) the JetPunk usage was, at best, inconsistent, and if anything leaned toward "Côte d'Ivoire."

In the meantime, however, usage here has since settled on "Ivory Coast" meaning that that should now be the correct answer. However @Quizzer6794 hasn't gotten around to updating this quiz in a long time, so *shrug*.

1. I think most people on JetPunk are quite aware that France borders Brazil.

2. I further suspect that many people may think of the Republic of the Congo as starting with "C" not "R," and therefore discount it (or at least, not have it occur to them as they're mentally going through the "R" countries). I wasn't at all certain it would take as I was typing it in.
