oman wow, I only got that because it was the last missing, and needed to start between ne- and po- (so countries with n - o or p) The polish is also sort of a surprise, though the frst I tried after being done with western europe. (also interesting yes for sweden but no for norway, and finland)

Will have to look those up now :)
