I also used to work with a guy whose mother was from Belize, and he'd head over there once or twice a year.Still a guess that Smirker had roots there though surely unless the quiz question stated "Smirker is a common name in which Central American country?"Well, given it's the second smallest country in Central America, was a former British Crown colony, we're on an English football club's forum, and Smirker doesn't appear to speak Spanish, I'd say it was a fairly obvious (and correct) choice rather than a 'lucky guess' e.g. randomly suggesting Nicaragua.

My favourite is the flag of Devon (St. Petroc's Cross).
Not sure why flags are a topic on the Ollie thread, but our county flag looks like it should be that of a country.The history of the flag dates waaaaaayyyyy back to ........2008
