Wikipedia; the word Uruguay, coming from the Guarani language, means "river where the painted birds live". Which I think is kinda cool but since it's from wikipedia.... not sure thus. Oh, capital is Montevideo.

...is a nation in the cultural sense of the word, but is not a nation-state within the meaning of international law, hence it is questionable whether it qualifies as a, "country," within the meaning of the thread.

visagrunt -- Navajo Nation has a treaty relationship with the U.S. and is considered to retain its sovereignty. Severely compromised sovereignty, granted.....

Is primarily composed of the territory of the Roman province of Lusitania.

(And a treaty with one nation state does not confer statehood upon the other contracting party in International Law, absent express recognition. If the United States disclaims its territorial sovereignty and releases the territory from the application of US law, a claim to statehood will exist, but until then, unfortuantely, the Navajo Nation is a nation, but not a country).

Neighbor to Vietnam & Thailand, but without an internationally trendy cuisine of its own.

The game is "country", not "state". ;) Whatever, hon, it's a GAME.

Andorra is a small country and is located in the Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France. It has a population of less than 100,000 inhabitant but is visited by around 9 million (they say) tourists yearly. Been there once, (on our way through to Spain ~ we ate something there) and must say, (the little I saw of it), it's a beautiful country (um, me likey mountains a lot also).
