I did this one a bit differently, not using the API and using the JSON file with the countries directly, due to performance issues with the API. I wrote a small Next.js backend replacing the API. First time using the app router of Next.js, let me know if I can improve on the usage of the app router, especially with the usage of the "use client" declaration.

    Nice work :) I found a small bug in your application: if I choose for example Curaçao there will be error. I'm guessing the problem may be that you're passing a foreign character to the url.

    @JustynaKorzycka You are right, well spotted. I quickly implemented a fix for that. The function that converts the names to urls just ignored special characters. Thank you for your feedback :)
