Country name game
 

We got a world capitals game going, how about a country name game. Same rules as the capital one. Every answer starts with the last letter of the previous answer. Here is the starter:

Iceland

My entry:

Djibouti

good one. I don't even know where that is...lol...


India

Azerbaijan

Do you know where that one is?

Uhhh, what a country.

Namibia :p

country name game
 

australia - the only country thats also a continent:)

We're going to run out of countries soon if people keep picking ones that end in "a".

Here's my next one:

Afghanistan

How bout Norway

Yugoslavia - damn that one ends in "a" too most countries end in "a" thats eerie :)

Yemen would have worked, too.

Perhaps we need to stipulate the rules of the game more clearly. Yugoslavia is no longer a country. The name for Yugoslavia is now Serbia & Macedonia. However, if we expand the rules to include all sovereign states, whether they still exist or not, the pool of available names will certainly be greater. For instance, Czechoslovakia would be available to use, whereas today there is no such country as Czechoslovakia (having divided into Czech Republic and Slovakia).

Anyhow, for now, here's my "A" country, unavoidably also ending in "A" until we change the rules:

Antigua & Barbuda

Armenia

Another country ending in a

Well, unless we change the rules (as I suggested), this game is going to be over very, very soon.

Albania

Make the 2nd letter be the first letter of the next one?

If the suggestion from TracyCoxx is agreeable to all, then we'll be able to keep going, and my next one will be ...

Laos

spain... woot...

lAos... Spain... nah, doesn't work.

If we're doing the 2nd letter of the country, then from Laos, I'm going with Argentina

wait what? i thought it was the last letter of the name? im confused. oh well

going from N from spain cos we all got off track a it.

Netherlands

P.S. to Rockabilly - Australia is also the world's largest island and the world's smallest continent ;)

The whole idea was to take the 2nd letter one time to get out of the "a" problem, but perhaps I'm wrong.

Anyhow, here's my "N" country:

Nauru

My next one is....Uraguay

Well, now we've used up the Y countries:

Yemen

Then we will go to the Ls

Nepal

Well, there aren't a lot of "L" countries that won't place us back in the same dilemma as all other countries ending in "a", so I choose

Luxembourg

I'm doing it greek... I say Greece ;)

To avoid ending in "a":

Egypt

Thailand - to avoid Y and A

Dominican Republic

Cameroon - Again to avoid A

New Zealand

... and soon we will be hitting the "a" problem again.

Not necessarily

Denmark (beat you to it, Hank)

Kazachstan home to Borat , very nice:)

N again huh? Niue

Let it be...

Ecuador

I apologise to everyone in advance but this one ending with an A really was unavoidable. I know I checked online

Russia

I can avoid the A.

Azerbaijan

I used Azerbaijan already.

yes it was taken before, so austria

It was Serbia & Montenegro (not Macedonia) but this state exists no longer as well since Montenegro´s independence from June 3rd, 2006.

My contribution: Andorra.

How about: Algeria

Sorry about another A

Sorry but there are no other countries that start with A but do net end with A.

Angola

whoops!
 

You are absolutely correct: Montenegro. It's funny how multitasking can mess with the things you know. I know Macedonia is wrong, probably knew it when I typed it, and yet the fact that I had just completed a discussion with a Greek colleague arguing about the Greeks and their obsession with calling Macedonia "Skopje" put my mind in a place where I just typed the wrong thing.

In any case, the game is screwed by the recycling of countries beginning and ending in A.

I don´t understand the Greeks and why they´re so obsessed with Macedonia. They´re not even real Greeks themselves.

Ok, let´s start with a new country:

Hungary

Finally a new letter to start with and I promise I won't use one that ends in A.

Yemen

Another one that ends in "A"
 

Good ol'Nicaragua

And it doesn't end in "a"
 

Afghanistan

(My apologies if this has been used before - or too recently - but I don't have the patience to read through all the posts)

What about heaven on Earth - the Netherlands
pot, sluts and hardstyle disco :D

SWEDEN, land of beautiful blondes and the home of the Nobel Institute and Museum.
