Even as an Australian, I found it almost total guesswork to answer the clues about "most favourably viewed countries".

Yeah I also find it rather boring but there were no other choice for 2 countries. I might have a look at the other ones again and see if I can rephrase it in a way that it's more fun. Thank you for the feedback.

Great quiz! I'm absolutely flabbergasted that Papua New Guinea didn't show up though since it was essentially an Australian colony for a long time. Going to the Wikipedia page seems to mention "Papua and New Guinea" though... I wonder if you would consider this a mention?

I remember considering adding it but it doesn't refer to the modern day independant country. I had to draw a line somewhere and I decided not to include it

After World War II and the victory of the Allies, the two territories of Papua (formerly British, in the south) and New Guinea (formerly German, in the north) were combined into the Territory of Papua and New Guinea administered by Australia until 1975. This was later referred to as "Papua New Guinea" at independence in 1975.

It's the same thing, the presence or absence of "and" doesn't change the dimensions of the land being referred to.

Yeah, I think that's a good place to draw the line. I was mostly just curious about that, appreciate the explanation!

is it just me, or is "In 2020, the largest foreign-born populations were those born in ..." asked twice?
