Can You Name All 12 Countries That Have Only 4 Letters
A friend of mine quizzed me a few years ago on all of the countries that have only four letters in their name. I was able to get 11 of them and was very surpised as to how hard it was to remember. Can you name all of them?
- Chad
- Cuba
- Fiji
- Guam
- Iran
- Iraq
- Laos
- Mali
- Niue
- Oman
- Peru
- Togo
I had trouble with “Niue” because I didn’t even know it was a country. “Niue (pronounced /niːˈʔuːeɪ/, /ˈnjuːeɪ/ in English) is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. It is commonly known as the Rock of Polynesia. Natives of the island call it ‘the Rock.’ Although self-governing, Niue is in free association with New Zealand, meaning that the Sovereign in Right of New Zealand is also Niue’s head of state.”
Government Constitutional monarchy
Head of State Queen Elizabeth II
Premier Hon. Mititaiagimene Young Vivian
