Far from being on this quiz with a size of 2.586 square Kilometers (would be #32 here) and a population of 562,958 (would be #14 here). Next in Population would be Samoa (187,820) and next in area would be Singapore (716).
Sifhraven

Level 66
Jan 20, 2020
Singapore is on the list. So did another country grow in size since your post?

Edit: maybe the quiz used to have fewer answers? But singapore is currently nr 18 in size, that means the list used to stop at 17, which seems a weird cut off point.

Sifhraven
+1
Level 66
Jan 20, 2020
Correction. Currently nr 19, so cut off would have been 18, which us slightly less weird but still not common. Plus its size is not listed as 716 but 687. And the 20th one as 702. So looking at sizes, something with 716 km² would/could be next on the list.

So maybe he missed it was on there. Went looking for countries with areas more than 702 km² and found something which said singapore was 716. Btw this quiz seems to use land area (so lakes etc get deducted)

I was surprised not to see Eswatini(Swaziland) in the list because it even smaller than a game reserve in south Africa

ESwatini may be tiny by African standards, but it is HUGE by the standards of this list. It is more than two and a half times the size of all of the countries in the area section of this quiz combined! At 17,364 km2, it is not even the smallest country on Mainland Africa - that's Gambia at 10,380 km2. But yeah, compared to South Africa it's pretty small - just 1.42% of its area.
