This was a question on the Chase last week, and I finally happened to notice this quiz today. I found it pretty funny coming across the same question on this quiz from a few years ago.
Rimpak, that makes no sense at all to me. If Greenland is not "part" of Denmark, then of what country is it part? I live in Gibraltar and we are part of the UK - like Greenland, not independent.
Hate to break it to you CardinalSin, but Gibraltar isn't a part of the UK.
The UK is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Anything that isn't part of one of those four isn't part of the UK. That includes Gibraltar, as well as the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, and the Falklands, among others.
Gibraltar is a dependent territory, not a part of the country.
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.
I wasn't a Trump supporter initially (I voted for Cruz in the primary) but I've supported him since 2016 and I think he's had a great track record as President. Maybe that makes me an ignorant moron, or maybe you've gotten all your info about Trump from mainstream media outlets that hate him. BTW the approval rating for the mainstream American media is less than half that of Trump.
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'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.
I actually read first "beer consumption per capita" and guessed Germany, Czechia, etc. but didn´t work. After quiz i notice that it was "beef consumption per capita" :o
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.
Mexico passed America in obesity rates a number of years ago and Canada has been a higher CO2 emitter per capita at least the past 2 years as well. This test needs an update.
or 4...
or 5...
or 9...
or 10!

Great Quiz!
It's okay because I am american.

Face it. A country 16% of Germanys population has more medals in the winter olympics
