Ummm.

OK...

You wrote it upside-down for my benefit 'cos I'm 'down under'?!

Updated!
Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

No, because it's a build upside-down map.

Wales is also solved.

Viet Nam is beyond my skill but I beat Vietnam.

Venezuela is also done.  A slogging match but nothing difficult.

Heh heh!

Done. It would have been funnier if I'd put it sideways like the map gravity!

England was a nightmare start, which turned into a normal, if awkward map.

Not sure I'd call it 'fun'..!

Wales, Vietnam and Venezuela updated.

Anyone know if Viet Nam is correct? I've not really found any references to that spelling except in the UN list we're working from.

Uzbekistan is too much for me.

Uruguay defeated.

United States is too much for me.  Creeper and very tough drones break out at about 2:30.

United Republic of Tanzania (note you have an extra word) solved.

Updated.

I noticed the extra 'of' in the title. Weird.

Greece.

One of my favourite countries.

One of my least favourite maps.

Sigh.

Dull.

Your using a UN list? Doesn't that mean your missing loads of countries?

Use Kithros' technique to get past those ground level emitters.
1 - grab the easiest jewel;
2 - build a couple of shields for survival; and
3 - build a couple of Blasters to commence operations.

"Viet Nam" is complete (somehow I just knew I would be going back there someday).

"Viet Nam" is the ancient name, "Vietnam" is current. Either is correct.

Absolutely stacks of them! As previously noted, it lumps England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland into 'United Kingdom'.

It's just a place to start and as per the mission objective, we're also doing alternate spellings and variations of place names (i.e. USA, U.S.A. etc).

Feel free to find the 'missing' countries and either post a score, or list them here and I'll add them to our mission objective list.

Updated.

You've not been back? I guess it'd be, well, weird...

Thanks for clarifying the 'Viet Nam' spelling.

Visiting Kiwiland and OZ is at the top of my bucket list...not so much that other place.

Is there an implication around here that the UN could possibly have made a mistake? I'm shocked, I tell you...Shocked!

Did like your response though - now we will get even more games to play.

Burundi done. Tough start - 4M emitter and a stream of drones on the surface. One of the better maps.
Cambodia done. Nothing special, just 2 emitters and 1 gateway altogether, fast level.

Democratic People's Republic of Korea

Boring and barren, but done.
