    One question each, so.

    I'm not sure I'm phrasing this correctly, but here it goes.

    What's the main difference between writing in French using only CAPITAL LETTERS and using only lowercase?

    Capitals don't take accents like acute, grave etc.

    Are you looking for the full name, like 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' or 'Republic of Ireland', or are you looking for the 'short' name, like 'Ireland'?

    You can have it. I didn't think that one through fully. The usual accepted answer is The Democratic Republic of the Congo but you are technically correct too.
