Scandinavian doesn't always mean the same. It's not that simple. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsXMe8H6iyc for a 4 minute explanation. It really depends. You have a point, but it's not just a geographical term, it's cultural too. - This has the potential to become another "Cyprus is in Europe" thing, except that Europe is really more a geographical entity only than Scandinavia.

Might it be possible to deviate from your stated criteria for this question, as it is a question dealing with the length of country names and people are naturally doing to think of full/official country names in that context.

Although it borders Indonesia, Papua New Guinea is located completely on the island of New Guinea (with some minor outlying islands). Australia is considered a landmass.

To be fair, Egypt is considered a transcontinental country (the Sinai Peninsula is in Asia), which means one of the answers for 'in Asia that only borders 1 other country' should be Egypt.

For "that is at least 20 letters long", shouldn't United States of America, People's Republic of China, and Democratic People's Republic of Korea all count? I'm assuming they don't because of JetPunk naming conventions? I guess if you were to include those, you would also have to include things like United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Independent and Sovereign Republic of Kiribati.

Just to clarify, does the "100 million people by 1900" question refer to modern-day borders or territories controlled by the country at the time? Because the question only makes sense if it's the latter (no way India can't be there unless it's counted as part of the UK).

Was about to query that question myself. The area within the modern day borders of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has never had a population close to 100 million. The census figures for the late 19th/early 20th centuries did not include colonies. Even my grandparents, who were alive at the time, never referred to Commonwealth/British Empire citizens as being part of the population of Britain, as if we 'owned' them. I'm not sure the inhabitants of Australia, for example, were ever included in our population stats. It seems a weird concept. But perhaps you can correct me.

A good quiz because it has generated a lot of discussion and the questions have obviously changed fairly frequently as you have thought up better ones. Thanks.

Unfortunately, if I were do define HDI in every question, I would also have to define a lot of other things, which would cause quite some clutter. There are a lot of other similar quizzes that use HDI so I don't think it's too uncommon of a term.

This may be quite nitpicky or unnecessary, however I think that Uganda should be accepted for the question "countries with 'and' in its name".

I understand what the question was asking - and I wasn't confused - however Uganda was the first answer I put in and it technically contains "and" in the name.

Ug - and - a.

Sorry for possibly wasting your time!

This would also apply to Rwanda as well. And Poland, Netherlands, Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands, and any others I missed with "and" in the name.

Also since you said "the word 'and'" in the question, could you possibly reword the question?

"Name a valid country containing the conjunction "and"' or

"Name a valid country that has the word 'and' between two words" or whatever you see fit.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

No you're not wasting my time and it's a valid question. However, the question specifies the word "and" while in the countries you just listed, they are simply a set of letters part of a word.

It means that a country is the only one the ends with a certain letter (ex Bangladesh is unique because no other country ends with the letter H).

The United States isn't at least 5,000 km wide east to west? Nome and Portland (ME) are 6,000 km apart. Yes, that's not due east-west, but there's land in Alaska further west than Nome and land in Maine east of Portland. It has to be that the tip of the Aleutians is more that 5,000 km west of the easternmost point in Maine.
