How many Asian countries can you name?

[TerraDave]

Ok, I am up to 39, but there are still some ambiguities.

 

[trappedslider]

well folks : Nauru, the world's 3rd-smallest country, changes its name to Naoero

<slaps forehead>

Man, I missed a couple of obvious ones.

If they are like New Jersey then it's okay to miss them.

Oh yeah, I read that article. But I think Naoero is Oceania, not Asia.

 

[GreyLord]

Okay, I'm screwed on this one. I know Europe. I am pretty familiar with the North American Continent.

Asia, though....that's an awfully big place and I haven't visited most of it. Only place I'm less familiar with would probably be Oceania.

Well, I'll give it a shot...no guarantees of success or anywhere near it though. As usual...please excuse my spelling.

Helpful hints if you try to name them from memory.

1) There are 7 -stans; 2 of them start with T and 2 start with K.
2) There are 8 small countries easy to overlook (at least for me); 3 of them start with B.

Spoiler

Bahrain, Bhutan, Brunei. Also Qatar, Kuwait, Singapore, Timor-Leste, and the Maldives.

Okay, here we go! I'm sure I am missing some, and there might be a couple that I am placing in Asia that should be more properly elsewhere, but....
