Puh... This quiz is much harder than expected. I'm a fast typist so I can get through a lot of guesses and I still missed two countries.

South America is clearly an outlier on this quiz, with no countries over 100 people/sq km. Just found that interesting.

Surprised about Kiribati. It has SO MANY islands spread so far. Not true of many other Oceania island nations.
