Save Humanity by Guessing Countries

Evil aliens have decided to kill everyone on Earth! Fortunately, they've given you two minutes to save as many as you can. All you have to do is name a country to save everyone in it.
Each "answer" correct corresponds to 1 million people saved
Countries with fewer than 1 million people are rounded up
2020 population estimates according to Worldometers

This should be longer especially as the graphics for the bigger countries takes a while to download so you are left hanging which wastes time. I suggest 5 or 6 minutes esp as you have another quiz on here that is to name 3 countries beginning with J in 2 minutes.

GeoPhilia in your quiz "Ocal ludzkość, zgadując kraje" in polish JetPunk, there was a request from one of the users and could you solve this problem? This user named is 19rico20 and wrote so:

Super quiz, mam pytanie czy można jakoś zrobić żeby przeglądając statystki, móc posortować to pod względem populacji, ale od największej do najmniejszej lub na odwrót bo mimo że naciskam żeby posortować to i tak jest rozsypane to byle jak?
