The Nations Contest!

I was writing out a list of other countries for a post, and was shocked at how few I knew!

Write out as many countries as you can, and put the number in the subject, for example (amd don't include 'subject' and 'message', silly) :

------------------------------
Subject: 3

Message:
America
Australia
Canada
------------------------------

Go for it! And no peeking at an atlas! (or any other source of names) (Ok, if you are going to at least try properly & post properly first, then post silly later downthread)

My reply is coming shortly!

But you did WAY better on the African countries.

Indeed I should have taken the challenge later in the day when my mind was switched on.
