Countries that Beat the United States

nice!

U-S-A! U-S-A! We're number 2! We're number 2!

Yes in youth hockey. :)

Cool quiz!

Good quiz , trickier than I thought it was going to be. Drinks the most Champagne?

Great (-: And the one country with more stripes on its flag is......-?

Malaysia! (thanks internet)

Lovely quiz, Quizzer6794! Really fun one.

Very clever, finally got the flag question with 8 seconds to spare.

More like that, please!

Greenland, is more northern than the USA. Therefore you should also list Denmark as an option

If denmark is not listed then greenland should be, you cant deny it's there.

Awesome.

I must be getting dyslexic as I kept reading "beer consumption per capita" for a while... or maybe just need to wet my whistle.

I also thought it said beer at first.

Could you add more time, please?

I got the final flag question with 2:29 to spare! Not saying I did the questions in order... Great Quiz!

The flag question was a good curveball. Nice work!

It was directly above "highest obesity rate," after all.

Where was gun deaths, faulty politicians and xenophobic percentage by capata? It's okay because I am american.

It wouldn't be #1 in any one of those categories. Total gun deaths actually would go well on the quiz, though, as the US is 2nd only to Brazil. (per capita they're much lower).
Xenophobia is a little harder to measure, but in a 2013 survey by World Values Survey (Sweden) polling different countries on their racist attitudes, the USA ranked damn near the bottom of the list (being most racially tolerant). Though many countries in Africa and some other around the world were not polled, the US would be somewhere around 170-190 on a list of xenophobic countries. India, in that poll, came out on top along with Jordan.
As for "faulty politicians," that's also difficult to measure, though on the Corruption Perceptions Index the United States is also very near the bottom of the list. Virtually every country in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe rank worse. Though the US is the only country to have elected a narcissistic orangutan as president so there's that.

Lame. The U.S. is still among the least corrupt and xenophobic places on Earth. Its shortcomings are magnified because of its stature as the world's most influential country, and it could learn some lessons from western Europe, but compared to most of the nearly 200 countries, the US is a very tolerant and uncorrupt (is that word? I don't think so) place. It's also worth reminding that Trump won the election with fewer actual votes than his opponent, and his approval rating is currently below 40%. There are ignorant morons here, but they are the minority.

Kenobi, it's the first thing

MasterKenobi, you disappoint me.

@Jacktheguy and how does he dissapoints you? By supporting Trump?

dri: is that not enough of a reason?

driehoek: First of all, I was quoting a line from Star Wars. I guess you didn’t pick up on it. Second, anyone who openly supports Trump will be met with disappointment from me. Not anger or hatred, just disappointment.

In other words, all he’ll do is tell you that while he didn’t directly state that the man trying to kill me is my father, he’ll claim that he was telling the truth the whole time... from a certain point of view.

I just guessed Malaysia, and it went right 🤣

good one! loved it, harder than a couple of others

I'm always extremely skeptical when I see stats about this. I know there are many different indigenous languages in South Africa and some other places, but America has got people living there from every country on Earth, AND a large host of its own indigenous languages. I'm guessing there's some highly dubious figuring going on in Africa, New Guinea, etc. inflating their figures, and a lot of undercounting in the US. But I don't actually know for certain. Just seems implausible.

Nice quiz, perhaps put the questions in order? Closest to ranking 1st at the top (so, 2,3,4,5,9,10)

haha! that's funny. Of course on the German language wiki they have decided that in the years that East Germany and West Germany were separate countries, Germany got to field two olympic teams and win medals with both of them, something no other country ever benefited from doing.

I thought it said "beer" not "beef" consumption so I kept writing Germany, then Ireland, lol!

wow, this series is so good that quizmaster had to copy it :P
