Had one attempt for the fun of it....thought I didn't know that much (do know some basics 'cause i studied history). Apparently also some good guesses. Got a 100% at first attempt. Fully surprised myself. xD

With the exception of "Gained independence first" if it has negative connotations choose Haiti. Poorer, dictators, earthquakes, smaller, voodoo...

'smaller' and 'having multiple languages' are not negative. New Zealand is smaller than Australia, and has multiple languages, and we take pride in both of these things.

There's nothing wrong with being small, especially not "smaller than Australia", which is a pretty common thing to be among countries!

Voodoo doesn't exactly have the greatest reputation. It's perceived as something a bit more barbaric, like witchcraft or black magic.

I found these questions pretty easy and not too interesting. Maybe try to put more challenging questions that don't seem too obvious. If you agree, try adrmcm's quiz series which is very similar to this one, though he started his idea first. Overall, good idea, though changes MUST be made :)

Not sure why it's "easy". I only missed 2, but I mostly guessed. What's easy for you isn't easy for other people.

I'm not sure who the 'we' is, but it's spelled in many ways, reflecting the challenges of transliteration and word-borrowing between languages.
