Missed out on a better score with this because I tried “Republic of the Congo,” “PRC,” and Congo-Brazzaville, only to find out that it’s labeled “Congo” despite the Democratic Republic of the Congo having DRC as an option, even though both are called Congo by locals and colloquially. Would appreciate a fix if you get the chance

it literally says that they use ‘Congo’ for the Republic of the Congo, and ‘DRC’ as an abbrevation in the description of the quiz
