Canada is bigger than China. Now the real dispute is either China is in 3rd or the US is 3rd, due to multiple sources(mainly the CIA World Factbook) taking in the US water area(not inland water), but not for any other country. And for China, well the only thing that migjt change China's size are the disputed territories(mainly the Spratly islands and Taiwan). There is no dispute if Canada or China are bigger

As a sidenote, without counting inland water Canada would lose almost 1 million sq km and would fall below both the US and China

The scrolling required to progress through this is maddening. Is there any way to show the initial of the next country in view of the filled-in map? I enjoyed this (got 85), but the incessant scrolling that is required has discouraged me from re-taking it.

I think I could have finished without the 5 minutes that I spent scrolling up to look at the map and back down to see the next letter. It would be nice if the map's CSS position property could be set to fixed so that it would stay on the screen while I scroll.

i think it may be helpful to have a caveat reminding everyone that larger countries may not look larger due to the map projection - saves quizzers guessing ones in europe that simply aren’t as big as they look, and you get less complaining comments.
