At the start of this category, Andy warned the listeners that there was some confusion during the live Twitch broadcast during the first pass, and that only the answers eventually credited to the players made the final cut; that is reflected here. It also accords with my general convention on archiving, which is that the audio released as the podcast episode is the only official version of the game. Not only does that avert the confusion Andy was talking about, it is consistent with previous seasons not broadcast live, where the raw audio isn't available. After giving "General Motors," Addy was asked to be more specific on the first pass.

Kudos to Andy for updating the list to reflect the most current developments in world affairs; as submitted, it did not reflect adoption of the Prespa Agreement (under which North Macedonia adopted its current name).
