"Land" Countries

Can you name the 7 countries whose common English name ends in the letters "land"?

Doesn't include countries that end in "lands"

Sovereign nations only, so Scotland and Greenland don't count

As of February 2019, we now use the name "Eswatini" instead of "Swaziland"

Got them all, I thought it would be harder, but I guess when you do the Countries of the World at least once a week it makes it easier.

I do that quiz once a week too but I still missed two and got 177 on the countries quiz. Im only 10 anyways

Jan 30, 2018

I haven't even born yet but I did the quiz 100% in 2 nanoseconds through the power of my mind.

Everything you read on the internet is true, always....

(Honestly, I did the quiz with multiple minutes left and I am 15)

Level 66

Jan 19, 2019

Why would you do them so often? A few times I get, to try and get them all in the alotted time. But after that why would you take that quiz again? (Ok once a year I might get aswell, to freshen up your knowledge)

Level 75

Feb 21, 2019

Countries of the World quiz is on a whole other level.

Level 66

Apr 18, 2019

So? Just because this one is easier to get 100% on the first try (i assume that is what you mean?) doesnt change anything i said about the countries of the world quiz. If you know them you know them. Im not revising the alphabet every week either or the names of the planets in our solar system. I allready know them.

Level 75

Jul 17, 2019

Then you've made it to a whole other level too. Nice job!

Level 56

Apr 27, 2020

Sifhraven, I also do the Countries of the World quiz pretty often. I don't do it because I want to make sure I still know them, I just like the quiz.

Level 24

Oct 16, 2012

England and Scotland ARE countries

+15

Level 25

Oct 16, 2012

They are not separate sovereign nations, which is what the quiz is asking for.

Level 34

Jul 1, 2019

Actually, Scotland IS a sovereign country.

Level 60

Sep 6, 2020

^No.

Level 67

Nov 5, 2020

I think it should be, but that's up to Scots to decide. We'd welcome them with open arms back into the EU!

Level 41

Nov 24, 2021

Scotland, England, Wales, and NORTHERN Ireland are not only countries, but (yeah England is a city in Arkansas) they're countries of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Level 26

Jun 13, 2022

England, Scotland, N. Ireland and Wales are to the UK as Finland, Poland, and Ireland are to the EU.

Level 67

Jun 17, 2022

No, they're not. They're as Kansas is to the US - constituents of a sovereign nation that are not sovereign nations.

So are Somaliland, Candyland, and Imagination Land.

Level 56

NEVER forget Graceland.

Level 64

Jul 1, 2015

and Greenland!

Level 74

May 6, 2017

Somaliland is sovereign, as that word is generally understood. The government in Mogadishu has no influence on it, or if one prefers, it has much less influence than the EU has on Greece. That sovereignty just isn't recognized as such by other states.

I realized how much longer that quiz would be in German, freaking everything ends with "land". Not literally but you know? XD

Level 73

Feb 13, 2013

Yeah that's funny

Level 66

Apr 18, 2019

In dutch too, let me see which ones would be added. Atleast: germany, greece. Ok blanking already haha, it would ve even more if endings in -rijk (-reich) were permitted aswell. Austria, France.

more -land: russia, belarus, estonia, latvia ( and uk in -rijk obviously) hmm guess that was it, not as much as i thought (are there more in german ?)

Level 75

Jun 24, 2019

Funnily, Poland in German - and Dutch - does NOT end in '-land'. So there's actually one less.

Level 41

Nov 24, 2021

Polska is the translation of Poland in POLISH!

Also this quiz is supposed to be ENGLISH! (Sorry England, most likely one of your people made it too though, I mean y'all created the Language!)

Level 14

Mar 19, 2013

Does Island really count as 'land'?

Level 14

Mar 21, 2013

Yes. Island - isLAND

Level 59

Aug 2, 2017

For the purposes of this quiz, yes. The instructions are given at the top of the quiz, they're clear and straight-forward - why does everyone have to question something so basic and simplistic on this website so much? Just do the quiz and enjoy it. Or not. There's no need to get so indignant about it.

Level 70

Jan 21, 2018

Do. Or do not. There is no indignant. ;-)

Too bad Greenland and Newfoundland wasn't added as a "Miscellaneous" category

Level 68

Feb 7, 2017

Then it wouldn't be a countries quiz

Level 66

Apr 18, 2019

Would be interesting though, to add provences/states and other types of official regions. In another quiz/ another title ofcourse

Level 69

May 3, 2015

Not that hard if you played "countries of the world" a few times. Good quiz though.

Level 83

May 3, 2015

pretty easy, 100% with 2:51 leftover.

Level 22

May 3, 2015

You might want to add "Cook Islands" or "The Cook Islands" as it is a country in Oceania

Level 75

Jun 24, 2019

Not a sovereign one, though, as it is linked to New Zealand.

Level 36

Jun 30, 2019

Yes exactly, otherwise we will have to start throwing in Norfolk Islands and a quadtrillion other 'islands'.

Level 52

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IreLAND! Technically the UK should count :)

-Stan actually means "land of". Not that we need that here, just wanted to let you know :)

Level 60

Jun 17, 2021

Actually, same goes for -ia, -ina, and similar ending names. Maybe it would actually be harder to name countries that doesn't end like that.

Because.

Level 37

Mar 15, 2021

No. I am a citizen of Eswatini and the name of the country was changed so that it can be a little bit similar to his name(King Mswati III)

Level 66

Jan 19, 2019

Wow, these scores are low :o especially on the islands, since you mentioned them in the description, then again, who reads those, right.

Level 66

Jan 19, 2019

Btw in dutch (and perhaps others languages) there would be several more. Let me see if I can think of them.

Ow poland would be out btw. (Polen)

germany (duitsland), russia (rusland), belarus (wit-rusland), estonia (estland), latvia (letland) ehmm cant think of any more...

yes, I tried to think of all 196 countries... and it is 1 am and hardly slept this week... maybe not the best thing to do haha.

Greece (Griekenland). :)

I disagree with Swaziland, considering Ivory Coast and North Korea for example.

Level 81

Feb 16, 2019

What happened to Swaziland??

Level 87

Feb 16, 2019

Dude you're on the internet... Just look it up yourself.

Level 81

Feb 17, 2019

It now identifies as Eswatini

Level 31

Mar 13, 2019

Yeah but it's spelled "eSwatini" like it's an early 2000's Apple product...

Level 66

Apr 18, 2019

Lmao that s funny :D

Level 37

Jun 15, 2019

Yes. Isn't it amusing that "eSwatini" and "North Macedonia" are immediately adopted as the proper country names by Jetpunk yet it refuses to recognize "Cote d'Ivoire" and "Cabo Verde" as the proper names of those countries?

Level 67

Jun 24, 2019

The idea that the names were immediately adopted is false. Jetpunk took 10 months to recognise Eswatini, not exactly sure about North Macedonia but I don't think it was instant either. "Cote d'Ivoire" used to be the name given to the Ivory Coast by Jetpunk, and I think it was changed because it would set a precedent that any other country stating that its name was the same in all languages would have to be followed, regardless of whether anyone used the name when speaking English.

Level 83

Jun 24, 2019

It's a similar situation for both Ivory Coast and Cape Verde - their delegations to the UN have stated that they don't want the name translated into any other languages. Many, apparently including Jetpunk, have been slow to welcome the idea. It's worth noting that Jetpunk has accepted both versions of both names, as valid responses, for as long as I've been using the site.

Level 63

Feb 22, 2019

Wow, I didn't even know that. I like it.

Level 68

Feb 19, 2019

Too much time

Level 47

Feb 21, 2019

Missing Africa - Swaziland

Level 75

Feb 21, 2019

Not anymore.

Level 39

Feb 26, 2019

That was much harder than I thought, but I got 100%

Level 37

Mar 3, 2019

Again, Swaziland changed its name to Eswatini what, a few months ago? and it is immediately adopted, but poor Cote d'Ivoire is still, years after it was changed from Ivory Coast, being ignored!!!

Level 84

Mar 13, 2019

I think in one case they are changing the official name of the country. In the other case the name has stayed the same, but they are telling everyone that they prefer you start speaking a different language when you say that name. That seems different to me. If we're going to start using Cote d'ivoire for Ivory Coast then we might as well start using Deutschland for Germany.

Level 34

Mar 13, 2019

Netherlands?

Level 36

Great Britain and northern Ireland don't count because UK is its real name and it doesn't end with land

Level 36

Sep 30, 2022

You missed "Holland, Marshall islands and Solomon islands"

Level 26

Oct 1, 2022

Holland is Netherlands, I suppose Netherlands should be here but it has "lands" instead of "land", same with the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands but they also have "lands" instead of "land". Holland is also the informal name for Netherlands anyway.
