I added the "date" column to this quiz. The dates for China and India are very approximate. The Russian Empire attained a population of 100 million in the 1800's, but the part that is currently Russia didn't reach 100 million until 1930.

Mexico has a fertility rate of around 2.1, just about the replacement rate, and so its population is still growing, just not very quickly. Japan, on the other hand, has a very low fertility rate of 1.3, and so its population has begun to shrink. Japan used to be higher in the rankings in past decades, and it will probably continue to go down as it's replaced by very high fertility countries in Africa.

Egypt is a country that is coming very close to 100 million people. There are 104 million Egyptians worldwide but 9 million of those live outside the country. Whatever the number, Egypt is definitely going to be the next country on this list.

Vietnam has a net growth of 0.9m and dropping, and congo of 2.8m and rising. I think congo will beat them (if things continue on the same trend, no wars etc)

No, I think Vietnam will get there first. Perhaps some time in the next 2 or 3 years. D.R.C will take marginally longer, maybe 3 or 4 years. But it will be close so I could end up being wrong.

Almost forgot Japan. Of course, if current trends continue, Japan could become the first country to fall off this list, though not for another couple decades at least.

Got everything except Egypt. I knew it had a lot of people, but I thought it was closer to maybe 50-60 million or so, so I was way off!

Dont think you have used the same (in my opinion very accurate, in contrast with other sources sometimes used for quizzes, which use outdated data or are rough estimates) source as this quiz. Vietnam is currently (March 22, 2020) 97.097.000 and in 2019 (I think that is midyear) it was 96.462.000

estimate for midyear 2020 is 97.339.000 and in 2025 is it over the 100m threshold with 101.107.000 (I rounded all numbers to 1.000)

So either you were a year ahead of time or made a 96/97 typo ;)

Congo actually seems to be next in line, currently 88.794.000, but it grows faster, estimated to be 104.134.000 so 3 millions more than vietnam, probably reaching it a year earlier than them.

I don't know where you got 132 million as the population for Mexico but it has never reached that so as of yet. It is 126 million on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Mexico

And on Worldometer, it is 129 million: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/mexico-population/

Yeah I don't know either. This quiz uses woldometers which has Mexico at almost 130m for 2021 and this quiz isn't updated, which is should be.
