Grenada One in a Krillion

7 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 38 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Grenada: One in a Krillion, +100, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Cuba, East Germany, or Poland — 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.
