The Myanmar question is a bit broken as long as one can just type "Burma" from the question

It took me way too long to figure out the answer to "An island country in the Indian Ocean..." I think that's a sign of way too much Jetpunk.

You may need to check the Wiki page for it, but now that the US has officially pulled out of Afghanistan, that clue may need to have it's wording changed

Regarding Cuba, I would've chosen a different line since this one is highly contested as before the revolution Cuba was lead by an absolutely brutal dictatorship. You should read up on the horrors of Fulgencio Batista.

It is a quote from wikipedia and a helpful one regarding Castro revolution. But I was also shocked, that wording like this can survive on Wikipedia page

I just got to the article and the word "succesful" doesn't appear even once. The clue is actually paraphrasing and very biased. I think it should be changed
