Good job Lance.

Does it seem wierd to anyone else that all the major countries have an a??

[Flybrian]

You don't consider Fiji a major country? How dare you.

[Enzora]

Sweden? Mexico?

It's not really THAT odd. Break down the names of the countries on that list. Several of them end in "land" and many other countries have feminine names, which is often represented by the letter A.
