The total population of Maldives is only 409,000, so it can't have more than 842,000 people at risk.

I was surprised Maldives or other island nations were not on the list...until I read the 'population exposed' on the columns. There not even close to 842 000 people in Maldives.

I agree - at Step 2 - Answers, you can click on a box at the right hand side Type-Ins and if you click that, the answers will be set up to accept a heap of alternative spellings like "UK". But it's an interesting quiz! Thanks for posting it.

Have you thought of doing a similar quiz of the percentage of each country's population exposed like this? Countries like Tuvalu have small populations, but could be potentially completely wiped out.
