Five Biggest Countries by Continent

I was, in fact, wondering. Thanks and nice quiz idea to Quizzer.

same!

I was wondering why there was only 29 until I typed in Russia. Then I realised

I like that approach, though to be consistent, in Five Most Populated Cities by Continent the European part of Istanbul would not have the highest population in Europe.

Cool fact.

True, but Russia counts as one...

I was about to call shenanigans on Mongolia not being in the list, but it turns out it's only 3/4 the size of Saudi. I blame the Mercator projection.

me too

me four

me five

me like food.

I wish there was more time!

This is kind of nitpicking but in land area the USA is larger than Canada, while in total area (land + water) it's not. It only changes the order, the answers remain the same. The quiz is good either way!

Greenland ranks 2nd if you count it as European or 3rd if you count it as North American. If think "Greenland ain't a country, it's a part of Denmark", then the 2nd largest European country is Denmark!

I have a hard time believing that Spain is bigger than Finland….

Here, check it out. Spain is 195,365 square miles (505,992 square km), while Finland is 130,666 square miles (338,424 square km.) That works out to Finland having only about 2/3rds of the area of Spain. You can probably blame Gerardus Mercator for your confusion.

Russia no longer shows up under Europe so all the other answers after that position have moved up one place. This leaves many errors like Brazil being listed under Oceania.

got 16/29.im not focused today

I MISSED LIBYA

Spelling: multiple in the caveats

cuba in north america

In the "Countries of the World Quiz," Russia is in Europe. I think that all quizzes on countries should be based on the countries quiz.

Russia is not proportionately populated between the smaller western portion (almost 25%) of the country that is considered part of Europe, and the larger eastern portion (more than 75%) that is part of Asia. European Russia contains about 77% of the country's population (110,000,000 people out of about 144,000,000)

Stop nit-picking. I, for one, enjoyed this quiz.

I like so so much your quizzes! Some of them are easy, but some of them can be challenging. Please, do not stop creating these :-)

Wouldn't Kiribati qualify if you counted both land + water?

In last second got bolivia and 100%. I was all the time guessing venezuela and chile, but forgot about bolivia.

Egypt is attached to Israel. Turkey is attached to Bulgaria. Panama is attached to Colombia. So, no, not really.

ben you are missing the point. One country can touch another country and be on the same land mass and each of those countries can still be considered to be in different continents. Continental boundaries are somewhat arbitrarily chosen and not always unanimously agreed upon. In the same way that the Sinai (Egypt) is often considered part of Asia, New Guinea (divided between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea) is often considered part of Oceania. But Egypt is typically represented as being wholly African and Indonesia as being Asian. New Guinea isn't a special case.

Perhaps Indonesia should be considered transcontinental. Some sources do.

yes and it often is. As are (sometimes) Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Panama, and Egypt. And France. And probably some other countries with islands near the borders.

Where's Antarctica?

There are no countries in Antarctica

Very nice quiz! Solomon Islands nearly eluded me, but got 100% with not much time remaining.

USA is larger than Canada by land area

Forgot Chad. 28/29

Did you cheat and look at the answers?

Russia, the country so nice, it's on this quiz twice... probably because of all that ice.

Lots of big countries in Asia

All right with 1:39 left. By the Angola and Namibia are quite big.
