I checked the countries I missed initially. In most cases, their currency names are shorter than country names or language names. If you're missing Botswana, Ethiopia, South Korea, Cambodia - this is the trick. I now can complete this 6 out of 10 times.

Great method! I found that Belgrade gets all the countries that Rome and Kiev do. It's the same number of letters, but I prefer typing one word.

USA should be accepted for Caribbean as of Puerto Rico. Or else you should ad a caveat about overseas territories.

Super amazing quiz and concept, can’t imagine how much work it took. Nominated

I think there were a couple limitations on this (Atlantic not counting for Panama but counting for Mexico), but overall I enjoyed it. I ran a program to find the lowest number of letters needed to complete the challenge and got 112 letters with 20 words. On lowest number of words, I found 19 words (113 letters).

Here's my list with the shortest characters:

China

India

Atlantic

Indian

Japan

SouthChina

Euro

Franc

Som

Pula

English

Spanish

Portugese (misspelled but still works :P)

Arabic

Riga

Bangkok

Baku

Juba

Sofia

Bern

Let me know if you find anything shorter! (I initially found a smaller # but it contained words like Thailand and Indian which require Thai and India to also be typed)

wow, impressive work!

you could type NDIAN then go back to the start, add I so that by typing 6 characters (plus home to go to the start of the word would make it 7 I guess) you get all India and Indian answers.

Typing them separately requires 11 characters.
