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.
