Correct malta is in the EU since 2004 and has a lower population (a couple of 100k might not mean much to other countries, but percentagewise to them it is a huge difference ;) )
Luxembourg is growing faster though. So at one point it did have less inhabitants than malta. But not since about 1950
If you have a hard time coming up with an alternative clue for luxembourg but still want to use it, you can use, "one of the countries that bear the same name as their capital"
Quite important to note that 'many English people' are descended from Saxons is not correct. They had little impact on our wider gene pool. Please see https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/mythsofbritishancestry
It would be better to word the question as 'Germanic tribe that invaded Britain after the Romans' or put the approximate time period.
Oaxaca and Xhosa I knew, I just wasn't sure how to spell! I tried several variations of xosa, xossa, etc and xahaca, xuahaca, juaxaca, etc! Dumb I know, but I would appreciate several varied spellings being accepted for the tricky ones

"A 2016 study concluded that on average 25–40% of the ancestry of modern Britons was contributed by Anglo-Saxon immigrants."
Lots of other sources confirm this. The Romans, on the other hand, did not leave much of a genetic trace.
