April 7th Update:

The SVG has been completely redone to include a more smooth circle stroke, circle size that matches new population data from the source. The population column has also been updated. Finally, China and India are now a more humble shade of grey. Enjoy!

maybe make india and china the same shade as russia and the rest of Europe and Africa?

No, the point is to show that these countries are the exclusion. Also, having them as a lighter shade doesn't make the map look as gloomy, if that makes any sense.

Kinda surprised that there hasn't been a quiz like this before. Nominated! Also, can you please accept "Saigon" for Ho Chi Minh City?

I was too! And yes, Saigon is now accepted. I don't know why I switched Ho Chi Minh off of auto.
