25-second pick · +100

Uzbekistan One in a Krillion

10 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 17 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Uzbekistan: One in a Krillion, +100, 10 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Brazil, New Zealand, Switzerland, or Zimbabwe — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.
