That amazed me as well. I've been to Singapore, and I thought it and Bahrain would be bankers. You always learn something, eh.

It's so tiny though that I guess any farmland at all would put it over the limit

A Moroccan acquaintance said: "the only thing that grows in our land is hashish." (yes, that is the word he used, it's a verbatim quote) But... suppose that's cultivation and crops, too.

The Kalahari desert is in that nation so it would make sense, it's almost entirely desert.

This Quiz is the reason I have trust issues ಥ_ಥ.....

Where do Singapore, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Andorra farm and what do they even farm...when Mongolia, Saudi and Congo can't?

There is actually quite a lot of farmland in Liechtenstein mostly grassland for cows and sheep etc. but they also grow a few fruits like apples and grapes. The country is very lush and green because of it's location in the Rhine Valley.

As an Andorran, I can say that currently a 4% of Andorra's land is destined to agriculture.

It's a rugged land in a cold climate, but all of our ancestors depended on it to survive. Tourism and sky resorts are a recent invention :)

I was using the "Random" button to select featured quizzes that I hadn't taken yet. Doing so, I ended up getting 100% on two quizzes back-to-back where in each case only 7.8% of quiz takers got 100%. The intent of this comment is not to brag, but to point out that the two quizzes were this one...and "Celebrity Scandals #2." I am not proud...

A fun quiz that challenged me to think of different reasons why a country would make the list. At first I worked on geography that would make farming difficult, and then started to work on small and highly densely populated options. Ran out of time before I could consider lush but heavily undeveloped options like Suriname though.

Both Congos in this list. With the amount of forests and rain they have, I simply neglected them and spent more than a minute naming all other African countries.
