Canada, USA, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia,Venezuela, Chile, Paraguay, and Cuba/Uruguay/Guatemala/Honduras/Nicaragua as 12 largest. Can’t see much of a difference in size with any of my 14 different globes stationed around the house like British soldiers in the American colonies.

For anyone curious - the 3rd amendment forbids the stationing of soldiers in private houses without permision from the owners.

Neodymium, it was a joke. Plus, it was COLONIES, not the actual USA. The constitution as it is was not ratified until 1787, and British soldiers would often come into people’ homes without the people’s consent. The Quartering Act.

Please learn the history before commenting what you don’t know.

I thought the times for quizzes like this were always 2 minutes to prevent people from being able to type every possible country...

Less time, and maybe one should have to type them in order to make it more challenging.

That title would have made more sense so your misreading is understandable. I only know that Los Angeles County is the most populous in America; not sure about the biggest.

It's San Bernardino county in California, which is slightly larger than Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Never please some people, always some who whinge that quizzes are 'too easy'. But it's going to be easy when you know your countries, for those who don't it's going to be more of a challenge.

While I understand that "American countries" is technically correct, do any Brazilians or Panamanians or Mexicans also consider themselves "Americans"?

No, they definitely don't. Try telling a Canadian he is "American" sometime and see the reaction. Additionally, not everyone considers "America" to be a continent.

i don’t think it could be misleading. the only geopolitical subdivision with the United States of America is states. if you know that very basic piece of information, then you should automatically know that the phrase “American countries” can only reference the countries of North and South America. if you fail to make that connection, you should probably read more
