Why do no countries start with the letter X?

    Bad poll. There are a few that start with a W, at least in the Dutch spelling:

    • Wake
    • Wallis en Futuna
    • Westelijke Sahara
    • Westsamoa
    • Windwardeilanden

    Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

      The poll is about the letter X. W is mentioned in one of the poll options. :)

      Also, if i understand the list correctly, only Westsamoa (Samoa) is recognized as a country. The others are territories or disputed.

      Interesting. Though, the wiki calls it a continent, not a country.
