The final question isn't making sense to me. When Bougainville becomes an independent country, it will immediately become the newest country of the 21st Century. Bar none.

Neat quiz. One quibble about question 7, though. I don't think the German Empire ever controlled Angola (it was a Portuguese colony until it became independent), but the Germans did control the territory that would become Namibia. Is that perhaps what you had intended instead of Angola?

Yes, stupid mistake, was meant to be Namibia. Thanks for pointing it out!

I believe for #1 Marshall Islands can be accepted, but other than that great quiz!
