Who do you think you are. Alfred Hitchcock?

Sorry for the delay.

Sent, disappointed in myself for forgetting the last round until it was over.

Jessica, Nick, Mitchell and Denver have joined in now.

This is probably going to be one of the few instances where I have to intervene on a question, because I'm typically afraid to in case I influence your decisions... but with question #3, I currently have NINE different answers.

I ask that you re-read the question carefully, make sure that your answer is an independent country, ie. a sovereign state recognised by the UN, and that they declared independence after April 1991 (ie. 30 years ago sorry for that reminder of how much time has passed since the 90s...)

I can't give a list of eligible countries because everyone could just look at it and go "right, let's submit the one at the top of the list".

[Jessica.]

I am pretty sure mine is a real sovereign state.

[Calderyon]

Have you received my answers?

Sorry about that.

There might be more, but at the moment I am good.

[Jessica.]

I'm pretty sure the pm system works, I don't get the whole asking if they sent thing. Can't you just check your sent folder?

[Beso]

Love the sig jess.

I know it works, it's more of an apology of editing ones answers too much.

[Alf]

Less than 3 hours left.

I'll give it another hour or two, then I'll do this.

[Calderyon]

The more means the "edits".

[Jessica.]

[Niamh.]

Ugh disaster

[James]

I don't know what I was thinking putting Delhi (if that was me?). I don't think I considered what the capital of India was.

Shanghai was my other choice.

[Alf]

I was the only one who said Israel for a star on the flag? I thought the star of David would have been well known and the most popular, I judged that one wrong.

[James]

I considered South Africa too.
