Countries Ending in 'Land' | Geography Quiz
How many countries end in "land"?
GM quizzers! 👋 Let’s play a round of geo-trivia! 🌍 If you love those satisfying "aha!" moments, this one’s for you. Today’s question might sound simple – how many sovereign countries end in "land"? – but it’s sneakier than it looks.
Note: A sovereign country means an independent nation that has full control over its own government and land, and is recognised by other countries around the world. So, this quiz excludes regions, dependencies, or parts of countries.
