There's plenty wrong with the US now, but I'd be hard pressed to think that it'd be the least peaceful country as of late.

"Highest date production”. I'm not a native English speaker but I think something is missing or the word "data" has some other meaning that I know?

A date is a kind of fruit. What is your native language, and what do you call it?

Thanks, now that name makes sense. My language is Polish, and this fruit is called "daktyl". I had never seen an English translation of that word, so when I read "date" I thought in terms of time. Clicking the link in [2] didn't help because the first thing that popped up was the production of rice.

"Highest obesity rate * among countries with > 10 million people"

New Zealand doesn't belong here - it has 4,851,000 people.

The Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India lists its 22 official languages.

Right, but those aren't really official. It seems that India defines whether or not languages are official based on whether the federal government uses it, so it doesn't matter what languages the states use.

Anyways, great quiz! I'm shocked that Iraq has such a high obesity rate (above any single Western European country it seems) despite being relatively poor.

Middle Eastern countries are a hotbed for obesity after Polynesia. I'm from Turkey and in the small villages the diet is so bad that "fast-food every day" feels like a healthier choice

I'm confused as to the most recent to abolish the monarchy? That is not even a fraction of all the countries that have done so. There are all the commonwealth countries that chose to do so, Laos, Libya, Yemen, Cambodia, and the Maldives, all after Iraq. That is dozens of countries. Why are they not included?

Nice quiz, but I think you have a hot potato on your hands with the independence question (generally accepted to be 1932 for Iraq). Take South Africa for example. The Union of South Africa is formed in 1910, with the same status as other dominions that you have listed as predating Iraq's independence. It was forced to join WWI, but got to sign the treaty of Versailles as an independent country (as did the other dominions). In 1926 the Balfour Declaration recognised the independence of the dominions, in 1931 the Statute of Westminster legally recognised the independence of the dominions and in 1934 South Africa enacted legislation to confirm its independence. In contrast New Zealanders only confirmed their independence in 1986. How can it possibly be that New Zealand could be said to be independent before Iraq but South Africa cannot? I enjoyed the quiz though.

The DRC, according to Wikipedia, has a coastline of 37km. How is it that your calculations arrive at 211? This seems a very large relative disparity.

I wondered about Malawi in the flag question, and looked it up. Apparently they had a different flag 2010-2012, and the current one is the same as before 2010. Huh, I never knew about it changing.

I think that there might be something wrong with the question about the most populated capital city starting with B. The capital of Argentina, La Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, has only 3 million inhabitants, way less than Baghdad. You may be referring to the population of the province Buenos Aires, but this is not the capital of the country.

No.

City proper of BA only has 3.1 million, true. But the metropolitan area as 15.1 million (or 15.6 million, depending on whether you're looking at Citypopulation.de or Wikipedia).

This is as opposed to the province with 17.5 million according to both of those sources - so they're not getting mixed up, but we're just looking at metro area rather than city proper.

This could be made more explicit in the quiz perhaps, yes, but city proper isn't IMO a great metric to use for comparing cities internationally like this, since different countries typically have very different ways of measuring where a city begins and ends. Baghdad for example doesn't have any useful notion of a city proper that is smaller than the metropolitan area - it's just divided into 9 District Advisory Councils, and 89 neighbourhoods.
