Got everything with plenty of time left... but very surprised that Australia and Switzerland send more than China. I would have thought China would be in the top 10.

Give it time, I'm sure they will be in a few years. Although I was expecting Australia to be higher up myself - they do seem to gravitate back to the motherland! :-)

Really surprised about India and Pakistan with all the expats and second generationers there that still have family. Most of the first and second generation Indians and Pakistanis that I know living in the USA get visiting relatives every couple of years.

but this in the UK. Most Indians and Pakistanis stay as a family, they don't have 50 states XD

Most of the descendants of the Raj I know in the UK go back there fairly regularly, often yearly. I don't think their relatives come here often enough to make the impact you are expecting. Too cold

Visa regimes often make it hard for people in developing countries to visit their relatives in developed ones. Often it comes with lots of waiting and with family connections to that country, it takes more effort to convince an immigration officer you will go home before your visa expires.

Umm, as a latin american, I had no problem whatsoever entering the UK nor the EU. Regular tourist visa, no waits, no nothing, standard questions at customs (reason of visit, duration, etc.) and that's it.

So of the 14 countries that send the most tourists to the UK, 11 of them come from the European Economic Area - so let's make it more difficult/expensive for them by leaving it. Brexit - the gift that keeps on giving....

While the UK was in the EU those countries needed a passport to visit the UK, now they'll need ... a passport. How horrendous.

School exchanges and trips, to take one example, became such a hassle after Brexit that a ton of French students now go to Ireland instead.

You should add The Republic of Ireland as a type-in for Ireland because Northern Ireland is already technically in the UK, and "Southern Ireland" of the Republic of Ireland is actually what you are referring to

Usually quizzes accept the Jetpunk name for the country and not the official name for the country.

For example, you have the China (Peoples Republic of China) and Taiwan (Republic of China), but on Jetpunk only China and Taiwan are accepted.

Also Northern Ireland isn't a sovereign nation so there should be no confusion.

Just type in 'Ireland'. It's literally easier. You seem like the type of person who would say 'Accept European Union instead of EU!' in a quiz that features it as an answer.

India covers an area of 32,87,263 sq. km, extending from the snow-covered Himalayan heights to the tropical rain forests of the south. As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a distinct geographical entity.

Many people in Britain have Indian heritage, so extensive family links still exist between the UK and India. Plus, as India becomes richer, Indians are travelling more, and due to historical and cultural links between the two countries (many Indians will come to watch cricket, for example), the common language between educated Indians and (educated...) Brits, and London being a major international airline hub, the UK is a natural destination for Indians wishing to travel to Europe.

Basically, to get 100% you name the countries that are around the UK then, you name very populous countries or big countries by area

Kind of crazy that Australia is higher than Canada, despite Australia being only about 75% as populated as Canada and much much further away!

I think a lot of aussies use it as a springboard to then travel to other parts of Europe. Land at Heathrow, spend a bit of time in the UK/London and then travel further afield.

That doesn't really explain it though, why wouldn't Canadians do the same thing?

Unlike Australia our major cities have direct flights to London, Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Frankfurt and many more so no need for us to all transfer through London. :)

Australians and New Zealanders tend to travel more than Canadians, with large numbers heading for the UK as a base to work (for a while) and then to travel around Europe. It seems to be a rite of passage for many, and I think for many there are still close family links with their European "homelands". This travelling cultural element in the ANZAC countries doesn't exist in the same way in North America or in Europe.
