    Ah, ok then, for this Q I guess we're using the short names.

    As far as I know the English translation of the official names of some of the above are:

    Republic of Togo
    Democratic Republic of Congo
    The Commonwealth Of The Bahamas
    Republic of Chad

    Just thought of a few others:


    Ghana
    Yemen
    Qatar
    Myanmar (does "y" count as a vowel? )

    N∃w Z∃∃l∃nd. ∃h br∃

    They only have one vowel because all the pakehas stole the rest.

    well done Gadjo, of your entries 3 are not correct.
    Congo because there are two countries of that nam one os known as the Democratic Republic of Congo, the other as the Republic of Congo
    Czech Republic because rEpUblIc
    Honk Konk isn't a country it is an autonomous region of China.
    Sxmenke' 3 are correct.

    That gives us 16/23

    Seychelles and possibly Egypt.
    EDIT: learning more about the Seychelles I read that it's neighbouring to Comoros.

    I reckon that the ones where "Y" is used as a vowel don't count, ie Yemen is OK but Egypt isn't

    (This isn't sour grapes as I gave this one a miss)
