I'd suggest having the spellcheck suggestions not pop up correct answers (I typed "Ireland" and it asked if I meant Iceland, which was one of the answers I hadn't gotten to yet). And, for that matter, I'm not really sure why Ireland was wrong. I thought maybe it was because it shares its island with NI, but the DR shares its island with Haiti and DR was accepted.

It's not a great game, but it's fun enough. The box is small, so we keep it around even if we don't play it much.
