I'm going to disallow kryzikistan, the spelling is a little too far off, but there is one that sort of sounds like it.
S we 11 out of 15 so far. good job Armin. Keep in mind we are talking USSR, you have a few Iron curtain countries here, but they aren't USSR.
Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and no idea on the proper spelling of the country I thought I'd made up,...haha
Two more to go
Slovakia......more history,less geography ;D;D
Sovenia?
No, and no. Here's a hint. The two remaining countries both end with stan.
Kurdikstan...(sp)..Damn,how in the helz did I not think of that,Kurds and such-I think I butchered that name??
Turkmanistan???
Turkmenistan is already picked. No to Kurdikstan I guess I'll let it go a litle longer. One of them sounds quite a bit like Kurdikstan, but the spelling is far enough off to reject it as an answer.
Well,Im done Teach.Really dont want to crack the books open and peak so heres to hoping X shows up fast ;D;D
chortling over here...
ok, I wanna see if he can get it, here's an update.

Russia
Ukraine
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania
Belarus
Georgia
Armenia
Moldova
Turkmenistan
Kazakhstan
Azerbaijan
Uzbekistan
Kyrgyzstan would be one (though I'm guessing the spelling) and i think Tajikistan was one too.
Saw a great programme about them a while ago, called "the Stans" !

Your spelling is perfect, and thus closes another episode of Geography Quiz.
All hail X ;D
After whom was the Spanish city of Barcelona named ....... and what is it's historical connection with the city of Cartagena?
Ok I'm thinking Barcelona was named after Fernando Barcelona, the famous Spaniard. ;)
I am not sure of the Cartegenia connection. Maybe something to do with The Moors?
