Hint
Don't look at a map. This is about names.Answer
Part 1: All these are English names of the countries. The names in Group A are the same in the local language, whereas the names in Group B are not the local names. (Germany is Deutschland, Ivory Coast is Cote d'Ivoire, Japan is Nippon, Albania is Shqiperia, and Montenegro is Crne Gore .)Part 2: Officially the English name of Cote d'Ivoire is Cote d'Ivoire, so remove Ivory Coast from Group B and put Cote d'Ivoire in Group A.
