This article https://www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/national/102601/maltas_population_tops_494000_7_live_in_gozo#.Yj5CXzUo82w suggests that 7% of the Maltese population lives in Gozo.

What about Russia - Kaliningrad?

UK-Falkland?

France-Corsica?

Spain-Ceuta?

And Palestine is not a country.

This quiz is too inaccurate for me, sorry.
