There are 12 countries in the world that have a 4 letter name (in English)

What are they? (I was just asked on twitter and got 5 before drying up and googling the answer)

Very impressive. You missed one of the few I did get and what I suspect is the hardest of the lot

Bet the others are in the Pacific. Niue? Is that one?

I got eight - those minus Laos and Cuba. 'Eire'? (clutches at straws)

Niue is the one I assume is the hardest (at least for people not from Niue)

It's one of those places with quite a popular internet domain (.nu)

It's also one of those places that isn't a sovereign state. Don't anyone tell Richard Osman.

On the subject of Pointless, a category the other day was "Countries with no repeating letters". Apart from the pointless answers, the longest I could come up with was Switzerland.

Ha, 'Fiji' is the only one you can't colour in.

All I can come up with is "Guam", but like Niue, that's an associated territory, rather than a country.

Guam is the last one, indeed.

The Internet did have some debate over whether Guam and Niue should be in the list at all.
