Country Names that Can Be Split into Two Words

Thanks! I originally had Marshall Islands on the list, but "marshall" (meaning the military rank or the verb, not the name) is typically only spelled with one L. You're right about China, though--can't believe I missed that one! When I was going through the list of countries I was like "Well, chi could be the Greek letter, but na isn't a word." Derp!

If you're objecting to "lat" as an abbreviation, I was actually thinking of the former currency of Latvia. You could argue that's obscure, I guess, but "guinea" is also a former currency, though probably a more well-known one.

As for "sud," I see that the dictionary does mark it as "informal," which would seem to suggest that it's slang. I guess it's been in use for so long that I don't think of it as a slang word. Or maybe it's just because I don't associate it with use by young people.

I did go back and forth for a while on whether or not to include Latvia on the quiz. If more people object I'll probably remove it.

Or if there get to be too many complaints, I might just remove the caveat entirely and say, "This is not intended to be an exhaustive list."

"Dominican" is a proper noun.
