[TheWinner]

I'm always open to other offers...

[TheWinner]

well done mallyh.

[Captain2]

No, no alternative. Just that it didn't appear on the list I was looking at.

1 Have seen Bali suggested, sounds like ballet

[THECORBYLOON]

Java is part of Indonesia.

[Captain2]

At the risk of being labelled a pedant, Bali is not a country either, according to my link.

Wonder if there is a difference between 'country name' and 'independently recognised country'?

[TheWinner]

Captain2, sure, its an old book, but thanks for that great link.
elliemay1, that could work.

[elliemay1]

//Bali, as most people mistakenly believe, is not a country, but one of the 34 provinces of Indonesia.//

[elliemay1]

^ Maybe the setter is one of those people!

Thank you all for your help. Italy is fab answer. Think I’ll put Bali. Much appreciated all.
