great idea for a quiz but has lots of mistakes :(

I stopped looking after the second one I found and I was still only on the C countries,

1. Chile's newly elected president is Gabriel Boric

2. What's the source for the republic of the congo president being in power since 1997? I checked and couldn't find anything, current president came to power in 2019

I update the quiz around once a month. The president of the Republic of the Congo has been in power since 1997, it's the President of the DEMOCRATIC Republic of the Congo that's been in power since 2019.

Why are you counting Prime Ministers as leaders instead of Presidents?

Level 80
Mar 16, 2022
Some countries have no presidents or the prime minister/head of government is more powerful than the president/head of state. Did you raise the question because only the Polish PM is included (since it seems you are from Poland)? I thought the Polish president is rather representative but maybe that's wrong.

Leader of Finland is not prime minister. Leader of Finland is president. Sauli Niinistö at the moment. He leads foreign policy, is commander-in-chief of Defence forces, appoints and discharges ministers including prime minister, appoints several powers, signs and approves laws etc. You would make many (all) Finns angry by ignoring him. He is such a loved leader. We still have good prime minister too.

You should change Costa Rica's president to just Rodrigo Chaves with Chaves as a type-in. Robles is just his second or maternal surname, usually just the first or paternal surname is used in spanish.

You actually used it this way in the other latin american presidents.
