Some note on the quiz : Zielona Gora is chosen instead of Zabrze for Poland because Zabrze is deemed as part of the Katowice Urban Area. Similarly, Zwolle is chosen for the Netherlands instead of Zoetermeer, because the latter is deemed as part of the Rotterdam urban area. The Zaatari Camp in Lebanon is a refugee camp for Syrian refugees in Lebanon and the number given here is from a 2015 census. The Wikipedia page on the same camp gives the population as 79,298 as of September, 2024. The recent regime change in Syria will no doubt have an effect on the camps size as well.

Good effort, although Zarqa is the biggest in Jordan with over 600,000.

You have Lebanon's one listed as Zahlé, so there's something wrong with the info about the refugee camp.
