Great Quiz and Concept. The only problem is you can get almost all of 353 by just typing 5 countries

The good thing is that in most cases a party will not win a whole country. It's not a winner-take-all-system like the US, so Germany for example might be split between all seven of the political groups (parties), which themselves are split into the national parties, of which more than one might be from Germany, but put together in one political group. This quiz doesn't adequatly represent this complex system. But if for some reason every German citizen had the same opinion, then yes, the voted party would have awesome power. But actually its the small countries which are over-represented, as are the small states in the US. A Wyomingite's vote for example weighs nearly three times as much as a Texan's vote in the House of Representatives election, due to its at-large district being only a third as populous as the usual districts in large states. In the Presidential election it's even worse, because regardless of the population, a state chooses two Senators.

I almost got an unanimous vote with 96% or 676 votes, you should really lower the time especially considering just a few countries can get you a win. Missed Luxembourg, Lithuania, and Cyprus :((

I'm actually not a fan of the Periwinkle Party, their views on free market greatly diverge from mine. I'm happy they are defeaten in most parallel universes.

You should make an EU Parliamentary constituencies quiz. Belgium, Ireland, Italy and Poland all have multiple constituencies.
