Damn. Read it as "population per air unit" and kept wondering what it meant. How much air is available per person?

Perhaps. Thanks for the compliment. When I was creating this quiz, I was honestly surprised nobody had thought of the idea yet. I was even more surprised to see I had gained almost a thousand takes in 24 hours.

Fun quiz and great idea. It definitely messed with my mind.I didn't understand what "Farthest from water body" meant since those countries border lakes.

If Istanbul is counted in Europe, Turkey qualifies for the capital question. Could you consider adding it under a similar idea as Russia?

Turkey is close to qualifying for population density. Its section in Europe, East Thrace, has population density 515 people/km², which is high but not quite Barbados's 653.95. I was hoping an argument could be made for Socotra / Western New Guinea showing up for Yemen / Indonesia respectively, but both are too comparatively small to rank in any category.

Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey.

Water body means ocean or sea.
