No stable population though. It doesn't count if a wolf runs through the corn field once on its way to Romania.

As someone who has run through many a Moldovan corn field on my way to Romania, I concur with this. No sane person would even suggest there is a stable population of Lamplighters in Moldova, despite the aforementioned forays

No, actually the Vatican has one of the densest wolf populations in the world, with some 3 million wolves in less than half a square kilometer. I was surprised when I saw the Vatican on this list, I thought it was common knowledge.

as Slovak, I can tell you that our wolves don't live close to Austrian borders. They live in a wilder mountainous region in the center and north.

If they even happened to be around the border, they would have to cross Morava or Danube river and then endless basins till they would reach the Alps.

But I am certain Austria still has wolves due to the Alps in the west.

Yes, they are a constituent country, and together they are part of a sovereign country, the UK. Like it or not if you live in of of those constituent countries you are in the UK. Since for purpose of quizzes you can't be two countries at once, the have always gone for the sovereign country.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is also considered a sovereign country made up of constituent countries (The Netherlands, Curacao, Aruba, Sint Maarten) people born in all of those country get the Dutch nationality)

Basicly the islands the microsates and the benelux. (going by the answers of this quiz, difficult to say when something turns from sightings to stable population. I don't think the netherlands has a stable population, not when you take the stable into account... I think there are only about 10-15 wolves here and I don't think they are particularly save.. (from humans)
