Guess the Country - starts with "R"?

[AviatorTom]

This is another in a series of geography questions. Each question will contain several things about a country and the goal is to guess what country that is. We'll try to go through the alphabet in order, and have a new question each day.

Things about this country:

* Its name starts with the letter "R"

* Its flag contains blue yellow and green colors

* It is landlocked and located near the middle of its continent

* It is a member of the Commonwealth, although it has no historical ties to the UK; it was occupied by Germany and Belgium in its pre-independence history

* Its capital city is one of the greenest in the world

* It is the most gender-equal country on its continent, with the highest proportion of female parliamentarians of any country in the world

* It has banned all plastic bags since 2008

* It has one of the youngest populations in the world, average age is 19

* In 2018, it sponsored the Arsenal Football Club

* Its athletes have won zero Olympic medals through 2022

Please don't cheat by looking it up or looking at other peoples' opinions and guesses. Make your best guess.

If you think you know what country this is, make your guess in an opinion below.

Good luck! And HAVE FUN!

The country name Rwanda was worn on the sleeves of Arsenal FC in 2018, it cost the country 30 million pounds, and Arsenal fans were not happy with it

I was thinking Romania as the first country with an R, as well as Russia, but you said it's woke AF, so it has to be more eastern Europe, especially if occupied by Germany and Belgium. I'll let the comments have this one; I dunno.

Could it be Romania? I’m really into geography and I’m confused lol. Could you at least tell me the continent I’m so confused lol

[AviatorTom]

It's not Europe. Try farther south.

[xJayleenx]

Rwanda?

[AviatorTom]

@xjayleenx Good choice!

[BlackElph]

Rwanda. I feel like I heard something about the female parliamentarians

[ArrowheadSW]

Romania and Russia don't fit the facts given. I'd have to default to Rwanda.

[NathanDavis]

interesting one... I could tell from previous questions, but this one sure makes me realize most of my Geography lessons are from 20 years ago... lmao

I still remember the other flag

[exitseven]

i cannot even think of a country that begins with R. I bet there is a hundred of them. I must have skipped that day during geography class.

Rhodesia?

[musicbrain5]

Isn’t that now Zimbabwe?

[OlderAndWiser]

@musicbrain5 Probably. I still remember Tanganyika!

[AviatorTom]

@OlderAndWiser You and I have similar problems. African countries have changed a lot from when I learned them in school: no more Zaire (Belgian Congo), Rhodesia, Tanganyika and probably a few more I can't remember

[SaoirseS]

Rwanda I think

[SaoirseS]

Yay, I got it right!

[musicbrain5]
