How many of them are there?
I only ask because I'm on holiday from tomorrow so probably won't be able to set a question if I do win this one. Sorry! |

I believe the lead to insurmountable at this point. The list I was going from had 35.
If Bilbo1967 is on vacation than I suggest Orlok goes, unless someone can come up with the remaining seven. |

Those are all correct, although Ivory Coast wasn't in my checklist since it listed Côte d'Ivoire. I think that should count as a bonus point for finding a language discrepancy.
22 for Bilbo1967 6 for orlok 4 for issybird plus a bonus point if there's a tie. There are still 3 elusive countries from my checklist (which may be wrong). One is disputed by 33 states, one is in Central America, and one is home to an author recommended to me by another member. |

Albania is indeed correct. Although it's probably a violation of the spirit of the quiz for clues to only be decipherable by one member. I really couldn't think of anything else other than rhymes with a country featured in the Dilbert cartoon (Elbonia)
22 for Bilbo1967 6 for orlok 5 for issybird plus a bonus point if there's a tie. |

Correct. I believe that makes you the lucky second place contestant to get the next quiz question.
22 for Bilbo1967 7 for orlok 5 for issybird plus a bonus point if there's a tie. The country that no one found: El Salvador |
