No countries are listed for W and X. No UN member or observer state has a name starting with these letters.
The list is the 193 member states of the United Nations plus its two observer states, the Holy See (Vatican City) and the State of Palestine. Territories whose status is disputed, such as Kosovo and Taiwan, and dependent territories, such as Greenland and Puerto Rico, are not included. Continents follow the UN M49 regions, with the Americas split into North America (including Central America and the Caribbean) and South America.

What the rarity tiers mean
- Plankton
- The names everyone says first. Safe, but in a rare-answer game they barely score. 100K+ searches a month
- Too Clever
- Feels like a clever pick, but plenty of other players will think of it too. 10K–100K a month
- Schooler
- Real names many people know but few would say first. 1K–10K a month
- Rare
- Recognizable to enthusiasts; a strong pick in rare-answer games. 100–1K a month
- Deep Cut
- Correct and checkable, but only specialists reach for them. 10–99 a month
- One in a Krillion
- So rarely searched that Google reports almost nothing. Make sure you can explain it. Under 10 a month
