Also, try the same quiz but with area instead of population:

Countries Divided into Noncontiguous Parts

Should clarify that countries divided by man-made canals do not count, such as Panama.

What about Russia - Kaliningrad?

UK-Falkland?

France-Corsica?

Spain-Ceuta?

And Palestine is not a country.

This quiz is too inaccurate for me, sorry.

Which of those regions contain 5% or more of the country’s population, as the directions state?
