Spelling should either be correct, or more variations should be acceptable. It's Papua New Guinea, and Millard Fillmore.

This is really sloppy. Malaysia is not an island state; it is mostly on the continent of Asia. The United Kingdom has over 63,000,000 residents, Taiwan has more than 23,000,000, and Australia more than 22,000,000, but they are all left off the list. Ireland has only 6,400,000 or so, but that is still more than Papua New Guinea.

The Spelling is wrong and when you say island nation wouldn't that mean an island that isn't shared with one country.

Indonesia is included and borders Malaysia on the island of Borneo, which also has another country (Brunei).

UK and Ireland border each other on the island of Ireland, and both should be included.

This quiz is somewhat inconsistent.
