I really thought I knew a chunk of the world's countries, at least by name if not region and language. But since I've joined Interpals, I've seen all these countries I didnt know before gonk

Examples: Udmurtiya, Eritrea, Maldives, Suriname and another one which i cant recall but its near France...

What about you guys? Any surprises? ninja

I have heard about Maldives and Suriname before, but only the names, as for the others, I don't know.

Suriname really surprised me since in Spanish we memorized the Latin American map, even Guyana. So I swear this country was left out... rofl

This is why Interpals confuses me, it lists these places as countries when they're actually territories and such.

I got 111. I can't believe I forgot a lot from Africa and the Middle East (I never took the time to learn all the -istans). Good thing is: I got the majority of Northern Hemisphere countries smile

I knew about Burundi (from Eddie Izzard's skit about it rofl ) and Micronesia, but not the others.

For me was Liechtenstein and Jersey (and not New Jersey).

I got 123.

I stupidly forgot to input Greece, Kenya, and Argentina. I was too busy trying to figure out how to spell "Philippines" correctly. XD

Spelling was a big problem for me. @_@ *wants to try this test again*
