Is there a reason you write out United States of America? JetPunk usually uses United States.

Nice quiz! Also, did you know that just ONE an island of Indonesia has the same population as Russia? Same with Bangladesh. Islands/countries a hundred times smaller with the same population. Although, most of Russia is occupied by Siberia.

The Philippines are the ones I usually forget; they're like the New Zealand of Asia - once you remember them, you question why you forgot they existed in the first place.
