Name That Country: A Game

There was a woman who used to post this game every week back in the heyday of MySpace in 2007 called “Name That Country”.  I’m not committing to bringing it back, but I thought it would be fun to post one and see what y’all came up with…

Can you name the country pictured in these photos??

If you were to go there, you’d probably arrive here:

HEH.. NOT THAT EASY


If you could afford it, you might want to migrate out to one of their nice bungalows…


I

‘m not sure how much surfing goes on there, but they have had some issues with big waves.


Not to worry though, their government is on the job!


(I smudged the print on their nameplates as to not provide clues)

I think we all hope that one day, the entire country doesn’t end up like this, but it is possible.


WHAT IS THIS PLACE??

    After careful consideration, this may be pictures of Japan versus Australia which was also hit with the waves- the difference between the two would be the lack of mountainous areas in the pictures shown. but then again- I could be totally off on this one.

    I had a guess on a couple of regions but not the specific place. Since I googled to find out I won’t give an answer.

    Beautiful place tho’

    Looks like that Sunni resort city of Mal(e) in the Maldives. Been there. Hot as hell even though it’s surrounded by the indian ocean. Bad place to be in a tsunami, though.

    I know that! It’s FIJI. Do I get a prize if I’m right?

  • Labrea_Tarpits says:

    You cheated by changing the image names so I couldn’t cheat and read them.

    what is the Republic of Maldives

  • moosehammer says:

    I have no idea, but that bottom picture looks like a reverse restaurant lobster tank type of scenario. Is this where the sharks pick out a human to eat?

  • Roscoe says:

    Really enjoyed the blog. I would have guessed Paradise Island the Bahamas, but I have already discovered that is incorrect.

  • Incorrigible says:

    I love the pictures- and I shall return having made my guess to see where it is… because I named a Country not a City (must read directions) this is a lot of fun!!!

  • marthamagenta says:

    Someone has said Maldives, Dubai, not Paradise Island? And it is not Fiji. How about MANILA

  • marthamagenta says:

    Oh wait! hahahaha! It’s Key Largo! Florida!

  • Allah-O-Akbar says:

    I and a few others actually know the answer and it is one guessed by more than one person. When are you going to let the others know, Joko?

  • Labrea_Tarpits says:

    Actually Joko, having reread your blog… I am less concerned about the country that your commitment issues.

  • Chelo16B says:

    Isn’t there a place where someone or some company built a big island, something to do with a rich Saudi. :entertained:

  • Joko says:

    The Correct answer is:

    It looks like DustUp was the first to come up with the correct answer to him or her… CONGRATULATIONS!!
    (I’m not sure who the doggy picture represents)
