2.  The flag for the Republic of Artsakh, a disputed breakaway region, made an unexpected appearance in 2016 when a contestant waved it during a performance recap in the first semi-final. What nation—the flag of which the design for the Artsakh flag was derived—did this contestant represent?

3.  Salvador Sobral's win in 2017 meant Portugal was no longer the country with the most participations that has never won the Contest. Name the island nation that now holds that distinction and is scheduled to compete in 2022 for the 38th (non-consecutive) time.
