I agree it's a very nice quiz. Though imho you could add some time to try find countries like Singapore or Kosovo. There isnt enough time thinking typing and looking at the map al simultaneously

lovely quiz idea, but perhaps you should just fill in the "none" countries by default. I know what the caveat at the top says, but it just feels weird having an answer given but not filled in
