GEO question - How many countries can you name with an H in the COUNTRY'S NAME?

[AviatorTom]

Let's have a fun and interesting Geography question today.

How many countries can you name that have the letter H in their name?

It doesn't have to start with an H, but H must appear somewhere in the country's name.

Please... no cheating... try to do this from your own knowledge and memory.

Do not look at others' answers nor ask your favorite bot, AI, or search engine for help.

We'll give you a list of "H" countries in a few days... Saturday.

Good luck... and have fun.

I love geography questions but only saw this question just now. I only saw in the update that there are 30 questions and accidentally saw the first country but skipped as fast I could to not see the rest. So I'll try to name as many as I can, here I go:

• Honduras
• Haiti
• Chile
• Bahrain
• Afghanistan
• Kazakhstan
• Bhutan
• China
• North Korea
• South Korea
• Thailand
• South Africa
• Philippines
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Hungary
• Lithuania
• Czech Republic
• Netherlanders (also informally called "Holland", both have an H in the name)
• North Macedonia
• South Sudan
• Ethiopia
• Chad
• Ghana
• Bahamas

I got 24/30, missing 6 that I can't think of

[AviatorTom]

@avery58 Very good. One of the ones you missed is a stretch... St Vincent and The Grenadines is only because of "The". And FYI, Holland is just an area in the Netherlands. I've worked with some Dutch in my career, and they don't like it when people call their country Holland. To them, that's like calling the United States, Texas.

[avery58]

Thanks for letting me know. And I don't know why it's saying "Netherlanders" there lol I don't remember writing that

[Aubrey97]

Haiti, Honduras, Chile, Netherlands, Czechia, China, South Africa, South Korea, South Sudan, Bahamas, North Korea, Thailand, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Chad, Liechtenstein, Hungary. That's all I've got. I didn't use my geography nerd boyfriend this time.

[Aubrey97]

Oh, I guess there's North Macedonia if you use their new name

[AviatorTom]

@aubrey97 Excellent list. There might even be a few more.

[Aubrey97]

I am sure there are like a dozen more. I've learned a lot of countries I wouldn't ordinarily know from my boyfriend's coin collecting and this geoguesser game I play with him on the ipad but I definitely am nowhere near his encyclopedic knowledge of them all.

[TommyMountainFigure]

I thought of Holland, but that is already some list!

[Aubrey97]

I ran my list by my boyfriend and I thought I did good and he rattled off 7 I forgot in less than a minute. Ugh. I can't win.

[DarkLegacy]

• Haiti

• China
• Thailand
• Bosnia Herzegovina
• Lithuania

Let’s see, I chose to go with those which start with the letter “H” as I think that’s how the game should be played. There are not too many, so lets see...

Honduras, Holland, Hungary, Haiti, and Hawaii (when it was a kingdom)

Those are all I could think of, but I’m sure there are a lot more.
I did the best I could. (I was never that great at geography, as I’m terrible at remembering names).

Sincerely, Laura 🤗 🥰
