There is no country on the planet that begins in these two letters

In the world there are 195 countries, but none of them starts with the two letters of the alphabet. Can you guess what the letters and countries are doing?

You must have at least once played the board game "Geography", where you next towns, rivers and mountains, thinking up the names of the countries in response to a letter. What letter to you was the biggest problem, do you remember?

The only two letters of the alphabet which are not used are the letter "x" and the English letter "w" (double "ve"). Although not a question of our alphabet, though, it is good to know this information, if you turn "Geography" you play with a stranger.

Note that is the question of how the names of those writing in English, and it comes to the English alphabet. Thus, the letter "q" is for example on the list, because Qatar in English says "Qatar".
