I'm intrigued by the ranking for poorest country - I thought Moldova was one of the poorest, if not the poorest in Europe. Would you have a reference for the source of this data?
Perhaps because in many comments I have seen on this site ( and apparently many people's minds) EU is used synonymous with Europe, incorrectly obviously. Such errors made by others might seep into your sub-conscience, and makes you slip up under pressure
Technically the United States is the easternmost NATO member because the Aleutian Islands in Alaska extend into the Eastern Hemisphere. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semisopochnoi_Island)
Man .. again... somehow I felt the answers had to be european countries (which actually works out fine for most, besides the figs and debt, and somehow with flag stripes I momentarily did NOT think it needed to be European, but after that I did again.. But it did cost more time than if I had realised there were more possible answers and didnt specifically needed to be a European country... )
I guess I ll never learn haha.
Edit btw figs and debt were the only two I didnt manage to get..(otherwise I would ve gotten figs, but not debt, didn't know that)
Yet the European reference appears so often that you do get the impression the quiz is called "European countries that beat Greece". Why not just change it to that and take out the global questions? You'd still have a decent quiz.
I also had trouble shifting gears from Europe only to Worldwide, which of course is not the quiz-maker's fault and wholly my own attention span problem.
But the rate is probably higher than you'd expect. Fertility rate = # children / # women. A 2013 report indicated about 30 women who were Vatican citizens at the time, and though it didn't give a number referenced some children, including the daughter of an electrician, and children of members of the Swiss Guard.
Lowest fertility rate is just incorrect in general.
Off the top of my head Romania, Croatia, Poland, Japan, Slovenia, Slovakia (so basically half the list) shouldn't be there, but Spain, Italy, Malta and Thailand are missing
I typed in Japan for the GDP one, it disappeared from the answer line as it does when one answers correctly, but the answer box for that clue was still blank so I kept trying other answers and after time was up it showed I had missed it, but the answer was Japan. No idea how I managed that, but it's what happened. I must have hit some weird combination of keys on my new laptop that deleted the answer without realizing it. The keyboard is really sensitive. Still, frustrating that I typed the correct answer but didn't get it.

Off the top of my head Romania, Croatia, Poland, Japan, Slovenia, Slovakia (so basically half the list) shouldn't be there, but Spain, Italy, Malta and Thailand are missing
Romania 1,77
Slovenia 1,61
Slovakia 1,57
Croatia 1,47
Poland 1,44
GREECE 1,34
Cyprus 1,33
Italy 1,27

Japanese Ministry of health, labor and welfare https://www.mhlw.go.jp/english/database/db-hw/populate/dl/E02.pdf - Japan 1,36 in 2019
Seems i was wrong about Thailand, their TFR is currently at 1,4 - I used a faulty source and I apologize, but everything else stands
The quiz probably uses UN or World Bank data which is very unreliable for demographic data
