What are the 20 longest country names, as they appear Jetpunk's Countries of the World quiz (apart from the long name of Czechia, which we give you for free)?
I agree it would be nice, but I also wonder if with this one, Longest Country Names, that would defeat the purpose of this quiz? What do other people think? I'll go with the majority view on this one. (I do allow abbreviations like "Bosnia" and "St Kitts" on all my other country quizzes).
I guess it's a question of what your criteria for success is: A) Knowledge of which countries have long names, or B) knowledge of what the names are. I know the name is Bosnia and Her[someOtherLetters]ina, and so would guess that country as one of the 20, but would struggle to spell it correctly all the way to the end..
But now that I’ve started using mobile much more, longer country names have become much harder because of how much you have to delete to fix a one letter typo
Interesting question, which touches on the fact that Kosovo is only partially recognised, by 108 (a small majority) of the world's nations. If you accept that Kosovo is a nation (which I and the Countries of the World quiz does), then that country's full name is Republic of Kosovo, and conversational name (that applies to this quiz) is Kosovo. "Kosovo and Metohia" is the name given by Serbia to the area covered by Kosovo, which they assert is actually an autonomous province of Serbia.
Dang it I didn't type Czech Republic in the quiz because I thought it wasn't including long names, but most of the quizzes on this site have it as Czech Republic. Also, the countries of the world was made before Czechia became the official name too.
Yes, time has caught up with this quiz as we now use Czechia for our quizzes. We'll leave this one here for now though, because the Countries of the World quiz (our standard for inclusion for this quiz) still uses Czech Republic for now.
