While I was solving a word puzzle the other day, I stumbled upon a question that caught my attention.
It asked about countries with five words in their names. Intrigued, I paused my puzzle-solving for a moment and started thinking.
I had never really considered the full official names of countries before, so I was curious to find out which ones fit this description.
The discovery was so interesting that I decided to compile this quick list. Maybe it will help someone out there who faces a similar challenge or puzzle!
List of Countries with Five Words in Their Names
Countries with five words in their names are relatively rare. Therefore, I’ve included countries whose official names reach the five-word threshold when considering the word “the” in their titles.
Depending on your perspective, this may or may not disqualify them from the list.
That said, the list includes countries recognized by the United Nations (i.e., UN member states). Enjoy!
1. THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
2. THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA
3. THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
4. THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
5. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
6. THE BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA
7. DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA
8. LAO PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
9. SÃO TOMÉ AND PRÍNCIPE
10. ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES
11. UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND
While countries with five words in their official names are few, they certainly stand out for their unique and often lengthy titles. I hope this list has been helpful for anyone facing a similar puzzle or challenge! Here are other country-related puzzle resources and clues you may be interested in:
