First thing to do: type the name of the country. It is very often an answer to one of the other questions.

Good thing for that "W" hint! Helped me narrow down dozens of African ethnic groups I've never heard of.

Are we allowed to have a quiz about a country in the southern Sahara that doesn't refer to the Sahel? :)

Nobody knows much about these countries so I think they put that in as a filler question that people can get. Kind of a shame I agree, but understandable. Understandable shame.
