Thought it was "UK" so I selected England as the one with the most population :(

Nice quiz!

I’m sorry. While you’re correct that it’s England and not UK, Spain still has the smaller population. I changed the order of the answers from the Spain version and forgot to change which answer was correct for that question. Thanks!

There is no legislation mandating an official language for England, therefore "English" does not apply. It should be changed to "mostly spoken".

Good point. It certainly is the de facto language of England.

Plus there can be some confusion given that Spain has co-official languages. I'm going to change the wording.
