Wow, this game helped me realize I absolutely don't know African countries. I could name like 5 out of 54... That's just sad.
@SpaceCenter Hi there! I was afraid you said the game was lacking of polish ha ha. But for the language, we'll try to add it, maybe not soon but we'll try :)
@HariboHunter Hi there, good idea, we'll add more bonus answers in the next update :) (but there won't be bonus points, those answers are just easter eggs)
@SoftHard Hi there, a friend told me about Sporcle when I was developing "Guess Countries: Europe". So I had to add more features than them ha ha (languages, timer choice and colors were not in the initial brief ^^). Sporcle is great by the way, especially their slideshow movie games!

Why the symbol of Turkey Republic is a fez? We don't wear fez it's removed with many revolutions. Also Turkey Republic is not an Africa country.
@Nofudecos Hi there, Turkey is here only because you can type answers in Turkish :) Also, those little characters are called Polandballs and are based on clichés so no offense is intended, only humor :)

Dear kong players,
Recently I have published a geography game called 'Globe Master 3D', which is pretty much a 3D version of well known (and well liked) Globetrotter XL. It took me several months to complete it, and I really believed it to be a success. But, to my great disappointment, the average score after several days is just 3.3 and the game got forgotten.
So I thought 'maybe those guys at kong don't like geography at all'. But to my great surprise, another geography game - 'Guess Countries: Africa", which was published shortly after Globe Master 3D, quickly got a 'Hot New Game' status. So you like geography after all! So I try to understand why - what have I done wrong in Globe Master 3D? Please let me know
@SideEffect Hi there, good job on Globe Master 3D! I really enjoyed it (graphics are really nice). I saw your rating is higher now and that you have a featuring in Hot New Games: it's deserved. Geography games rule! :) :)

I really think all of these games deserve badges. The spelling can be difficult but otherwise it is a nice way to challenge yourself.

You should add just a bit better text recognition for the Congos. I had to type "Democratic Republic of the Congo" without leaving any words out, which is silly. Dem Rep Congo (the standard abbreviation) should work. Otherwise this is really a great game, thank you!
@Sir_Valimont Hi there, actually some other works like "DRC" but we'll sure add "Dem Rep Congo" in the next update! Thanks for the feedback and the kind comment :)

@elg1979. Of the places you mention:
- Ceuta, Melilla, and Saint Helena: perfectly agree, said the same below.
- Zanzibar: it can be considered part of Tanzania, but I guess it's famous enough to deserve the same status as Hong Kong and Macau in the Asian game.
- Cabinda: it's just part of Angola.
- Chagos archipelago: it's close to Maldives, should be in the Asian game.
- Juan de Nova Island, Bassas da India, Europa Island and Tromelin Island: they're all uninhabited atolls, they don't seem to include those in these games (probably the right call).

BTW, how many bonus answers are there on this map ?
I found those 5 : Madeira, Canary Islands, Western Sahara, Mayotte and Réunion.
I would suggest the followings : Ceuta, Melilla, Cabinda, Zanzibar, Chagos archipelago, Juan de Nova, Bassas da India, Europa, Tromelin, Saint Helena...

Also, as bonus answers, Spain still owns Ceuta and Melilla in Morocco (maybe these should be in the Europe game, because they're a bit like Gibraltar?), and UK still owns Saint Helena, which is pretty famous being the place where Napoleon was in exile, and one of the oldest British oversea territories in general.

No, okay, I wrote that thing about Congo before remembering Zaire now renamed itself Congo as well. :) But I see Zaire is still accepted as an answer, so maybe entering "Congo" should result in "Republic of the Congo" only?

Yes! I've been checking every day for this one since the Asia one came out, which I checked for every day since the Europe one came out!
