Country and Capitals Crossword (SVG)

Can you answer the question below to fill in all 17 answers to the SVG grid? Correct answers appear dark green, unsolved after the time will appear dark red.
I almost got the grid to work well with Countries and Capitals, but there are two instances where I had to improvise a little with upwards or anagrams!
P.S. This SVG took several hours to make due to having to make each individual box and letter, as well as getting the logic to work where two words intersect in case one is correct and one is not.

Wonderful crossword. Unfortunately, all the answers are actually visible in the grid. Each individual letter can be seen as a faded outline within its box. Is there a way to eliminate the outline?

Argh! I tried to get rid of this, and I did for computers and tablets. I'm guessing you're on a mobile, which probably makes the width of the edges around the white letters too thin or something. Very annoying! Thanks for pointing it out, but I think for most people it is not visible :) If you could tell me what device/browser you're viewing this on it may help?

I actually did the quiz on my laptop... :-( I just checked my mobile, though, and the outlines are not visible on that, even when I zoom in with my fingers.

That is very spooky, I've checked on different devices and browsers and still can't seem to replicate the issue. My guess is one browser in particular or something is causing an issue. I'll thicken the borders and see if that helps anyway, but it seems that limited people are affected by this. Thanks for your help

Absolutely amazing Stewart! One thing is to change the "tallest" to "highest", as the tallest mountain in the world from base to summit is in the U.S. Mount Everest is simply the highest above sea level.

Great!

Just one small remark- for the first hint (in the across clues), can you specify if the country is smallest by population or area?

Yes, please do this if possible. Kyrgyzstan is larger by area, but Tajikistan is more populous.

Wouldn't it be better to just eliminate 8-across and 14-across?
