Nice! There are so many anagrams, great work finding them all. One thing: you have merged the Canadian province and Shakespearean one with the Yemen gulf and Iranian mountain one.

Thanks! Oh yeah, they were merged on mobile/tablet. Hadn't checked. Fixed now, thanks :)

That was fun. I’m surprised I missed it when it came out! Incidentally… Akon isn’t a rapper, but a hip hop singer.

Fun fact, I believe Aden is the most populous country in the world whose letters are in alphabetical order (Jos is the only other close one).

Nice fact! Assume you mean city. Can't think of any to disprove that. Fez comes close, kinda.

That's funny that you mention that, because I did a quiz question about this and also thought Fez.

I literally tired every possible anagram for the Iranian mountain. I don’t know why that was the last one I tried.

how are we meant to get oman by just "Arabian Peninsula Nation"? there are other countries there too. A better clue would be "Only country that starts with O" or something like that.

The caveat states that every answer is a single word of five letters or less, so only three countries fit that clue.

You can guess more than once. Same with American Great Lake. And if you get the other answer it gives you the letters.
