Name A Country That Starts With "U"

[MarkG]

[Harovan]

"Yugoslavia"

[Pekka]

Some of these answers are pretty ok?

Like, who is next in line in the war on terror. Saudi Arabia. Now how is that a bad answer? If you have to choose a country, that's a pretty good pick.

Who is in the axis of evil. Germany? .. Well, the Germany was in the axis, so that's not really THAT wrong. in fact, it shows some history knowledge.

Also, the country that starts with U.. that's a typical question that is easy, except when someone asks it out of the blue, nothing comes to your mind. So that kind of question is stupid in itself.

Speak for yourself...

I'm disappointed that the first country that came to my mind was Uganda, and not Uruguay or Uzbekistan or... oh... I can't think of anymore. Ha. Woops. How about my own country? Yeah. Duh.

[Krill]

Uganda? Uzbekistan?

[Pekka]

Lori, why? Uruguay was in the first that came to my mind

[KrazyHorse]

Uganda was the first for me. Took about ten seconds more to come up with Uruguay, then another half minute to get US and UK. I stopped there. Didn't get to Ukraine or Uzbekistan.

The first country that came to my mind was Uganda, probably because I just read something about them (the amusing fact that their military has the rank of a "field marshal"). The second was the United States. The third Hungary (Ungarn in German).

Uganda was the first to pop into my mind, too. Pretty surprising, given that I live in the United States of America. Ukraine was the next one.

U.S. probably didn't come as quickly because I think of it as "America," and I think of the U.K. as "Britain".

Uruguay was the first to come to mind, followed immediately by Uganda. After that, I'd have had to think a bit.

I didn't consider my own country, 'cause, well, that's pretty obvious, innit? Actually, no, because I think of it as America, not its full name. I'd have come up with it, and immediately thereafter the UK and UAE.

I wonder why so many name Uganda as first coming to mind. It's not that it would dominate the news, unlike some of the other candidates.

[Lorizael]

Because it starts with the same sound that the letter 'u' does.

[Krill]

Never thought of USA or UK. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are how I think of the countries.

UAE, Uraguay, Ukraine, I'd have to have thought long and hard to have got...

Another one for "Uganda" coming to mind first. And yes, it probably has to do with it being pronounced You-ghan-da.
