In Step 1 - Options of the Quiz Editor there's a drop-down box on the right hand side marked Yellow Box that defaults to No - just set that option to Yes

Defo yellow box this baby! It's just an option in the edit section, easy to do.

I've never heard of poutine, then I thought magyar was a kind of syrup, so I tried the Maple Syrup country and got poutine! Fun!

As anonimous said, Zambia should be an acceptable answer for Rhodesia as it used to be Northern Rhodesia. Also, please can you explain why North Korea is associated with hermit? I tried Egypt, Libya, Israel, Lebanon, Greece and many others along the Mediterranean coast associated with early Christian hermits, all of which seem like better answers to me.

Although I understand the reason for this hint, it still is misleading.

I thought about some old monks in the mountains and tried a whole bunch of south asian countries...

Nice quiz.

One suggestion: Boer can also be The Netherlands, it's farmer in Dutch.
