I'm not sure if Moldova is more populous than Mongolia. Various sources suggest otherwise

The fact Mongolia (and other 6 countries) has a higher minimum elevation than Nepal just bugged my mind. Always assumed the opposite.

I doubt that Nepal is number 8. The lowest point of Nepal is 59m above sea level, the lowest point of Mongolia 560m. Nepal is #2 for highest average elevation.

is Kazakhstan really landlocked because the Caspian sea (largest sea in the world).....

The Caspian Sea is classified as a lake I believe, so it won't count as being coast for Kazakhstan

Where did you get the idea that the Caspian is the largest sea in the world? Googling it will tell you that the Philippine Sea is the largest but regardless the Mediterranean and Black Sea are right next to it. If you meant largest "lake" as it doesn't border an ocean, then that should answer your question of whether Kazakhstan should be landlocked, because it only borders a lake, not a sea.

Shouldn't it be "British Empire"?

Interestingly, looking at empires in terms of % of world population, then we get several Chinese empires, the Mongolian empire, and the Roman Empire all ahead of the British Empire. In terms of sheer numbers, though, Britain is far and away the biggest.

And land area, which I think is the metric usually used when Jetpunk says 'largest'

Moldova does have a higher population than Mongolia if you include the region of Transnistria, which is an internationally unrecognized breakaway province.

For example, Wikipedia will not include Transnistria but Worldometers will.

So based on the source you will have a different ranking. It is a tricky situation.

I think many population quiz on jetpunk are taking Worldometers as a reference so we should probably keep this one the same.

The difference is not due to Transnistria - Wikipedia has 2,600,000 for Moldova and 300,000 for Transnistria, so adding these up comes to only 2,900,000 - well less than the value either source gives for Mongolia.

On worldometer the difference between Mongolia and Moldova is only a couple of thousands (2024 data). Quite a close call. (both around 3.440.000)

The Soviet Union was not the first 1-part Marxist state, it was Russia. The RSR/RSFSR was fully independent between 1917-1922

The question about surrounding two countries is just really bad. Is it meant to be bordering or not? I think you should just get rid of it.

Also came here to say that Australia should be an answer to the camel question. Doesn't appear that any of the previous comments resulted in a fix to this error.

knew Mongolia had a small population but never realised that it would be smaller than Nepal and Moldova! spent minutes agonising over that question

Nepal's population is not small at all. At around 30 million people, it is in the highest third of all independent countries in the world.
