WHAT A COMMENTS SECTION, Here is it summarized in some stats.

Most Liked Comments-

rg1227- 88

ruffytuffy-69

rg1227- 64

biellos- 48

HinesBrothers-43

There are 19 comments with at least 10 likes, meaning that 16.8 percent of the comments have at least 10 likes, and this is definitely one of the top ratios.

The creator, Rg1227 has 7 comments, that total 198 likes, meaning he gets 28.2 likes per comment on average, including an average of 56.7 on just his first three alone.

I'm giving this a 5.00 rating for the comments alone

No, we didn't. The Government has adopted "Czechia" as an acceptable substitute to be used in official capacities, in the hopes of making the name more acceptable to tourists, but "Czech Republic" the proper, legal name.

Most often, saying Congo refers to the larger Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I personally like to use the capital prefixes. Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa, it is the easiest way to separate the two countries in just regular talk in my opinion.

It says in the description of the quiz that this quiz was made because they find JetPunk to be too "U.S. centric", which quite frankly I agree with. I don't see half as many quizzes about the United Kingdom. If you want to make one, go ahead, though it wouldn't be as hard since not THAT many countries use the letter "K". Also, even if you did make a quiz like this but with the U.K., there aren't just two countries you know. ;) If you wanted this to be "fair" then we need 196 "Countries Free From X" quizzes.

The quiz says it only uses official Jetpunk English names.

What I liked about this quiz is it was a fun way to acknowledge that many feel JetPunk is too US centric.Love Jetpunk but this is true. Sport is a particularly frustrating section as nobody outside the US has any idea about the NBA, NFL, Baseball. Still the best quiz site out there though.

As for the quiz itself, a good idea but a lot of flaws as already pointed out.

Basketball is popular all over Europe, ice hockey as well (although mostly in cold countries). Baseball is big in Japan (chortle) and a lot of Latin America. American Football is followed all over the place - they even play NFL games in Europe.

The old "US sports are only popular in the US" cliché is, well, just a cliché these days.
