Quiz question

Sat in the pub with some of the Welsh boys on Sunday night, a cracking quiz question was put to me. Well, I say cracking, but only because I'm a geography geek. Anyway, it had me going for the three hours we were there (the guy who set the question told me it took him three days... though he did admit his geography is a bit suspect.

So here's the question:

There are seven countries in the world which have names that consist of five letters, two of which are the letter 'A'. Can you name them?

Obviously its good in the pub because your researcher (Mr Google) is not as helpful. I'll stick the answer in the comments in a couple of days, just to let you have a wee while to work it out. Good luck!

UPDATE: Six of the seven answers have been guessed by readers and are now in the comments to this piece. If you DON'T want to know the answers, don't look here.

UPDATE 2: All seven answers are now accounted for, although no one got all seven. Again, if you are still thinking about it, don't look at the answers until it is driving you completely crazy. And if it hasn't yet, give it a couple of days!
