Countries Similar to U.S. States by Population

The map of the United States has been filled with country flags. Each state represents a flag of a country that has a similar population number to it. Can you name all of these countries?
Sources: WorldPopulationReview and Worldometer
To avoid repeating countries, for some states the second most similar country by population was included instead

Ah, I don't really like asking for help but I kind of need help... I really haven't learned much about inkscape yet. How would I import images into the map and clip them? If you want I can send you a collaboration thing so you can see what I'm trying to say.

The most advanced thing I've used is the dot placer XD

Copy paste an image from Wiki Commons or any other source onto your SVG, put the image over a country / subdivision shape and select both shape and image at once while holding shift. Then go to Object -> Clip -> Set

Really goes to show how large and small countries compare to state populations. I never thought yemen had such a similar population to a single US state.

Level 67

This is a really great quiz. I do think it would be good to keep it to the country with the closest population, even if there is overlap, as that would provide a truer comparison (by which we could learn with more accuracy). But I suppose there are enough countries, probably with similar populations, that it's not a big deal. Either way, very imaginative and well-executed quiz.

Thanks a lot for your kind words! I was thoroughly thinking about which countries to include so that the map is accurate enough, despite there being no repetitions. Therefore I made sure that all countries are very close in population to the states they represent. I believe this map already shows a good comparison of state and country populations. I decided to not repeat any countries in order to make the quiz hopefully more fun and challenging, since there are more unique answers.

Good game, however it would have been better if Ohio had the coat of arms for Bolivia as that's what it's recognized as best. Also perhaps an option to show a larger version of the flag especially for states like Hawaii. Nonetheless, I got 50/50.
