I'm having issues with keyboard navigation on Firefox: * Typing a few letters then pressing tab closes the dropdown instead of selecting options in the dropdown * when the text box is selecting, pressing enter does nothing; I need to press tab then enter to submit the answer

#42You can make this more educative by showing 4 or 5 options to choose from for a particular country.

#44I got 128, which I guess isn't too bad. I'm just totally hopeless when it comes to most of Africa, and there's just way too many small island states.

#45I love it, my only feedback was the I didn't really understand which I was supposed to pick when it showed me N. Korea. Because all I saw the Korean Peninsula, and the north was dark green and the south was light green.
These things are always slightly arbitrary, e.g. why include Taiwan but not, say, Somaliland (both are unrecognised by most other states but de facto independent).

#47I enjoyed it; I like that you can use this without entering the country name, i.e. do just "Check" -> "Correct"/"Wrong". This is such a fast and rewarding loop, reminds me of flash cards or spaced repetition apps.

You can practice here! https://www.youdontknowafrica.com/
It doesn't help that most of Africa is basically only in the media if there's a disease or war or something.

Can you explain how that makes it ironic?
There are couple of entities in the game whose statehood is debated / contested.

The hard ones for me were countries in mainland Africa, island nations in the Atlantic and the Pacific, and small adjacent countries that you associate in a group – say Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, or Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are easy - they go in alphabetical order from north to south.
