Wouldn't have expected Belgium and Singapore to show up. You learn something new everyday.

Missed three, one of which was obvious and another I nearly typed in. So annoying but a good quiz!

Totally forgot about Benelux. I just random guessed Singapore. What on Earth do they export? The country is so tiny!

The Singaporean economy depends heavily on exports and refining imported goods, especially in manufacturing,[71] which constituted 27.2% of GDP in 2010[7] and includes significant electronics, petroleum refining, chemicals, mechanical engineering and biomedical sciences sectors. In 2006 Singapore produced about 10% of the world's foundry wafer output.[72] Despite its small size, Singapore has a diversified economy, a strategy that the government considers vital for growth and stability.

Thailand is a huge manufacturer in computer hardware especially chipsets. If you were paying attention you'd have noticed that during the Bangkok flooding last year, the price of hard drives all over the world just about doubled. In addition they also export cheap clothing/textiles, food, and some other stuff.

Don't know why people are surprised about Singapore, it's famous for its trade. Busiest port in the world as far as I know..

For some reason I always miss Austria, on this and many other quizzes. That's the only one I didn't get. I'm surprised the Netherlands is so far up the list. What do they export? All the others are pretty obvious except for maybe Poland, Norway and the Czech Republic, but none of them are even in the top 25.

Hard to believe the Czech Republic really export more than Iran, Venezuela, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Angola, or Nigeria. Such a tiny country with a small population, but according to Wikipedia, Iran's exports only total 80something billion.

Also, it's nice to see that US exports are almost as huge as Chinese ones. It's popular (within America) to say these days that America doesn't make anything anymore. I've always known that was obviously BS, going around the world you see American stuff everywhere, but considering the trade imbalance and the fact that sometimes it seems 50% of everything on store shelves says "made in China" I was still surprised that it was so close.

True, but at the same time Germany for instance exports nearly as much and is only a fraction of the population and size.

Korea should be an acceptable answer for South Korea.
