Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Benin: One in a Krillion, +100, 5 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Belgium or Brazil — 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.
