Because Wiki and Citypopulation states the population of WB is 91 million while some other sources says it's 99 million. Where did you got the 103 million from?

Great, but could you loosen the spelling? I tried "Rio Grande del Sud" and did not get points for Brazil. Granted, I did not have it totally correct, but I would expect "Rio Grande" to be a sufficient type-in; usually quizzes try to minimize how much you need to type in other languages.

And now they are.

More accurately, the part of the Netherlands that is in Europe is a single first-level subdivision, confusing also called the Netherlands (although they do technically call the whole country The Kingdom of the Netherlands but shockingly that just gets abbreviated right back down to Netherlands).

I don't think this is accurate, there are other countries with overseas territories but the first level subdivisions of the Netherlands (a sovereign state), are the 12 provinces which include for instance North Holland and South Holland.

Other countries such as the US, Denmark, France and Australia also have overseas territories.

I understand that Aruba and Curaçao are other countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but in this case, would countries that belong to the Commonwealth also belong to the UK? It is a tricky one, but generally the first level subdivisions are seen as the 12 provinces. But I understand that others could potentially view this differently.

it just depends how they're organized internally. For whatever reason, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has the Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao and whatever as co-equal nations within the kingdom. Whereas, for example, Denmark has the Faroes as an autonomous region within Denmark, French Guinea is a department of France, etc.

So it just depends on how the country organizes itself, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands does that in a weird way.
