This is kind of nitpicking but in land area the USA is larger than Canada, while in total area (land + water) it's not. It only changes the order, the answers remain the same. The quiz is good either way!

The size of the USA nearly always includes it's waters, even though it shouldn't. Therefore, unless the source for the size does not include this, the waters of Canada should be counted.

Greenland ranks 2nd if you count it as European or 3rd if you count it as North American. If think "Greenland ain't a country, it's a part of Denmark", then the 2nd largest European country is Denmark!

Here, check it out. Spain is 195,365 square miles (505,992 square km), while Finland is 130,666 square miles (338,424 square km.) That works out to Finland having only about 2/3rds of the area of Spain. You can probably blame Gerardus Mercator for your confusion.

I wish people would stop blaming Mercator, he didn't set out to make a make to confuse people over the size of different parts of the world, that was just the result of her projection becoming the most frequently used long after his death. There are plenty of atlases and maps however that are freely available that use different projections, especially of an area like Europe.

Russia is not proportionately populated between the smaller western portion (almost 25%) of the country that is considered part of Europe, and the larger eastern portion (more than 75%) that is part of Asia. European Russia contains about 77% of the country's population (110,000,000 people out of about 144,000,000)

ben you are missing the point. One country can touch another country and be on the same land mass and each of those countries can still be considered to be in different continents. Continental boundaries are somewhat arbitrarily chosen and not always unanimously agreed upon. In the same way that the Sinai (Egypt) is often considered part of Asia, New Guinea (divided between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea) is often considered part of Oceania. But Egypt is typically represented as being wholly African and Indonesia as being Asian. New Guinea isn't a special case.
