Brilliant quiz, I'd nominate it but its too late. I tried PoleandStein(Palestine) for the one on the furthest left of the picture. :)

I thought 'Light & stein' but the pronunciation just wasn't quite there...

Yes, I think Liechtenstein (light (post) and (beer) stein) should be accepted as a type-in. It is just as close as Columbia.

I wasn't even thinking about "bar" for Bahrain. I just noticed the notes were BAAA, so I figured that was the intended clue. XD

That was hilarious. Some of them made me groan (column-beer) but great fun. My significant other came to ask me what was wrong when I was saying "pool-Cue-ball, cue-ball, cue-ball-eight, CUE-EIGHT!" out loud.

I was wracking my brain for combinations with beer, pint, stein and column, pillar, pole. Still think the answer is a bit of a stretch.

Pool stick, aka "cue" plus the number 8 = "cue-eight." After enough "Colombias" they sound even more alike!

For Kuwait, there is a pool cue and an eight ball, so together that's cue-eight so Kuwait. For Bahrain, according to the explanations provided, it's a bar as in a bar of music, and rain, so together they make Bahrain

This reminds of "Rockbusters" from Karl Pilkington on XFM radio back in the day.

As in: you have to mispronounce a word like 'beer' into 'bee-ya' to make it work :)
