Yeah.....I'm just having fun. I lived in France and Germany as a young child. I used to swim in the Rhine. But, there is no way I could name all 49. I'm not even going to try. First off....I can never recall the name of that small country on the Mediterranean in the south of France that borders Spain?

Argh...

47 out of 49.

I couldn't remember how to spell Luxembourg and Liechtenstein or I would have had a perfect score.

Andorra is small. 468 sq/km. The economy is tourism. Mostly skiing......one ski pass applies to all ski areas....they are connected. 100% literacy. No military. No taxes. No warnings on the CIA fact sheet. Natural hazards....avalanches.

England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are all separate countries but they do make the up the UK as a whole. Ask someone their nationality and they'll likely say they are English, Northern Irish, Scottish or Welsh no matter what the government forces your passport to say. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales all have their own parliament but we in England don't seem to be allowed one.

The SNP who are in charge in Scotland have actually been pushing for complete independence.

It takes a while for it to accept your answer. I was hitting enter on "England" several times, it never took. I went to France and then Italy, it didn't take and then it did. This was all while the clock was ticking. :roll:
