Countries A-Z quiz
Below are clues to the usual name of a UN Member State which starts with the letter shown. How many can you identify? The Vatican City and Palestine do not count as they have observer status only in the UN. Kosovo and Taiwan have no UN membership. Most of the clues have only one possible answer but otherwise you have to get the name I was thinking of. Some easy, others less so. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.
