Question 37: Colombia has the highest AVERAGE rainfall, not highest overall.
Question 71: Guinea-Bissau has numerous islands but is not COMPRISED of islands. It has significant territory on the Africa mainland.
Question 177: Australia and New Zealand are both monarchies and are in Oceania. Hence, the given answer is incorrect.
Some suggestions, in addition to the ones made by CTRH1:
-Crimea is controlled by Russia, so the Georgia question is wrong
-Brunei has fewer inhabitants than the Maldives, so it is smaller (unless you mean smaller by area, I wasn't sure)
-for the Tunisia question, "first mosque of the West" is weird since "the West" is not well-defined, but no definition I found includes Tunisia.
Its extra confusing when I think most quizzes on Jetpunk only consider North and South america to avoid this confusion.
That's a good first try.
