Bulgaria

Bulgarian uses the Cyrillic alphabet. The "B" in "BULGARIA" looks like a lower-case b with a horizontal bar at the top of the stem pointing right, and the "U" looks the same except that the bar points to the left. The "L" looks like an upside-down U, and the "G" looks like a capital F that is missing the lower horizontal bar. The next two letters look like "AP", and the last two look like a backwards N and a backwards R.
