Top 10 Most Populous American Countries

Lol this like the millionth time I have seen one of your comments on a geography quiz.

Easy quiz but I'm a little surprised countries such as Cuba aren't on there.

Cuba is a puny island. No way 17 mill people would be there

Cuba has 3 times the area of Taiwan, which has a population of 23 million. It's possible.

Yeah it's possible, in Asia...

The size doesn't really coincide with population. For ex. Canada is 2nd largest and 37th most populous, so it's possible.

The Netherlands is less than half the size than Cuba and has over 17 million people living there, so not just in Asia..

how did I forget Canada!!

Ecuador replaces Bolivia in the quiz. That's the only difference from the 10 biggest countries in america.

Guatemala will dethrone Ecuador soon it's growing at a faster rate

I was thinking.. wth? There is only one American country. ah.... okay. 10 most populous countries in the Americas. Got it.

Me too, i thought it said cities instead of countries and spent a whole minute figuring that out

I thought it was American states so I was confused until in a last ditch attempt I wrote Canada. Then I finally realized that it was countries in the Americas

The demonym American has been used, by virtually everyone in the world, to refer exclusively to the United States of America for many decades if not centuries. If any appropriation is taking place here it would be mis-using it to refer to everything from the Americas, something that didn't catch on anywhere outside of a couple of Latin American countries until approximately 5 or 10 years ago. The way you are using the term is so peculiar and confusing - to everyone, not just Americans - that it almost has to be deliberate.

It's not extended due to American cultural influence, Ferbin. The demonym was first used to refer to the United States of America by the British when referring to their colonies. The only way that cultural influence spread around this use of the term is because the English language has been spread around. And we're still speaking English. In English, American still is almost exclusively used to refer to people or things from the United States of America. There is nothing wrong about this. You are insisting on a change for ignorant, nationalistic, chauvinistic political reasons, not to be correct. It's no more wrong to call American things American than it is to call things from the United States of Mexico Mexican. As mentioned, virtually every person in the world understands the term to mean what I said it means, not just Americans. When everyone agrees that a word means something, that's what the word means. To claim otherwise is ignorant and wrong.

France? Population: 66 million

French Guiana is a department of France, their equivalent of a US state. It is not a territory - something I learned taking these quizzes.

France and UK, these are only countries that they belong there ( instead of Ecuador and Chile

And if you're talking about France due to French Guiana, then only the pop of French Guiana should count (as it happens with Russia in this kind of continental-centric quizzes).

Only problem with that is they have 250,000 people there.

The description says that it is the most populated countries that are in the Americas - not the countries with the highest population in the Americas. Therefore France should be on the list.

Well then I guess by that logic shouldn't the United States be on the list of most populous Oceania countries?

But even though Turkey has territory in Europe, and so does Kazakhstan, they are both normally counted as Asian countries. Spain has territory in Africa, but it is still mostly European and it's counted as a European country. France is counted as European in the same way. The oddest one is probably Russia, which is usually considered European, even though the large bulk of its territory is in Asia. But there are reasons for that, too.

Easy as

Pie? ABC? Buying something from Staples?

123, Do Re Mi

Easy.

Man I always think of Ecuador as being tiny (area-wise), but in reality it's bigger than, for example, the UK. Stupid Mercator projection maps.

First 10 guesses how bout that

Maybe it includes people from Honduras passing through.

More of a French country, even if their revolution may have been partially inspired by the American one.

Should France count as an African country just because the overseas departments Mayotte and Réunion are located in Africa?

This was definitely the easiest quiz I've ever taken!

Have you taken the Seven Continents Quiz?

Easy AS AbC

Guatemala ? Would never have guessed that , got 9/10 disappointed in myself, this was a easy chance for 5 points and I let it slip through my fingers.

me neither! I had to guess all the central american countries and guatemala really surprised me, especially over something like bolivia
