How are we defining Green Parties for this quiz? Simply calling themselves a green party or is it based on actual platform policies?

Mostly based on this Wikipedia list, which is based on how the parties describe themselves, though I removed some that didn't seem to be actually green parties and added missing others

Interesting that those countries most at risk from climate change (low lying island nations) do not appear on this list. Rather it is mostly wealthy European nations.

Perhaps in, say, Oceanian island nations, the major parties focus more on environmental issues than in other places, but just not enough to make it their primary focus or to make them "green" parties?

At the last election in Australia, Greens secured a total of 15 of the available 221 seats across both houses of parliament or 6.6%. Do they not appear on the percentage of seats table because you are only counting the lower house?

Yes, I only counted the lower houses, I'll specify that in the caveats

Those 15% in Germany will thankfully be less next time.

It's the Ecological Party of Uzbekistan! It came 5th out of 5 parties in the 2024 election.
