As mentioned in the description, some countries may appear twice since both forms of their alternations are possible. E.g. PERU can be P_R_ or _E_U

I admit I hadn't read that part of the description, so was confused when Paraguay showed up twice. Makes perfect sense now that I understand the parameters.

I have double checked and they're both correct.

The two for Netherlands are:

N_T_E_L_N_S

_E_H_R_A_D_

Which are both the correct expected outcomes (as can be seen by merging the two together!

I had two sets of doubles! For me, both Andorra and Djibouti appeared twice. According to the stats, there's a >40% difference in guess rates between the two forms of Andorra, with the version A_D_R_A at 77% and _N_O_R_ at only 34%.
