Apurimac One in a Krillion

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 84 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Apurimac: One in a Krillion, +100, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Amazon or Mississippi — 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.
