I’m sure it’s a European country - I can remember a commentator at an England football match saying words to the effect of “thank goodness they don’t play all 198 verses”. Problem is I can’t remember which team

Lets try Greece.

Correct. The "Hymn to Liberty" or "Hymn to Freedom" is a poem written by Dionysios Solomos in 1823 that consists of 158 verses. I wonder if anyone can remember them all :lol: .

Please take the floor.

Paraguay? May we have a clue to save guessing all 200+ countries in the world?

I'll try with Italy.

No, none of the above. It is a European country, and @444045 has correctly guessed / answered Greece.
