Time seemed pretty lenient to me. I finished with 2 minutes left even though I made some pretty bad guesses.

How big were the populations in Italian Africa, as well as Albania?

According to Wikipedia, about 13% of the Libyan population was Italian in 1939, compared to a few hundreds today. And as a Tunisian, I'd say we barely have a few thousand Italian immigrants, but at least 10% of the population (especially in the north) can trace their ancestry back to Italy in the last 200 years. Plus, we have a lot of Italian architecture, radio and television, and we eat way too much pasta.

Is that because of the Carthage back and forth occupation from Rome? Or is that too far back in history?

Way too early (although that would at least partly explain why lots of Tunisians, who are almost exclusively Arab, have blonde hair and blue or green eyes).

I'm rather talking of 19th-20th century. In fact, in the 1930s, there were 85,000 Italians in Tunisia, and about 55,000 Frenchmen and 17,000 Maltese, and the French colonizer launched whole campaigns to incite hundreds of thousands of French people to move in.

Tunisians are not ethnically gulf Arabs, they're native Maghrebis who retained a unique culture and dialect throughout and after the caliphate. They probably retain a little Arab blood but ultimately it's like saying Aboriginal Australians are British

So if I'm 70% Italian(I really am), does that mean I'm from Italian decent?

The way the source describes it (even a distant ancestor is enough) I would say definitely.

As an American of Italian descent, I'm surprised at how low our numbers are, but then I grew up in an area where we were highly concentrated.

Lots of football players from Argentina or Uruguay have Italian names (Cavani, Messi, Di Maria, Rulli, Simeone...)

19/20! I guessed correctly that there were plenty of countries in Latin America.

As soon as I got one South American country, I knew that I should just guess all the countries in that region of the world due to the high level of Catholicism there.
