yes , you are right Goa and Pondicherry were once colonized by the Portuguese Empire , but in this quiz they are focusing more on the official languages . In this case East Timor(Timor-Leste)is the only asian country to be qualified to be in this list . Macau also speaks a lot of Portuguese but they are considered part of China .

Was Pondicherry Portuguese before being ruled by France?

No, Pondicherry wasn't ruled by the Portuguese. I think they confused Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli with Pondicherry.

I have visited Macau and I have the impression that Portuguese is not widely spoken at all (although it is still used for some official purposes).

That mostly happens in the islands...maybe a bit in Guinea Bissau. In Mozambique and Angola, Portuguese is the urban language. Out of the big cities there are the local languages, mostly with Bantu origin and pretty much almost zero based on Portuguese. I have to add that the Portuguese spoken in Angola and Mozambique is really similar to European Portuguese from the grammar point of view, unlike Brazil.

Angola and Mozambique definitely use Portuguese, although sometimes people will speak a different language natively. Compared to French and English speaking African countries, a lot more people speak Portuguese natively in those two though. In Sao Tome there are like 3-4 different creoles spoken by different parts of the population, Portuguese can still be used for communication between these groups. In Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau most people do not speak Portuguese and instead speak Portuguese-based creoles. In Equatorial Guinea, almost nobody speaks Portuguese and Portuguese is just official for political purposes.

that can't be it because it doesn't count as playing the quiz if you don't type in any answers, so what the stats mean, is that only 99% of people that correctly guess one of the answers gets Portugal.

Or assumes it doesn't need to be included because it's so obvious, or just completely forgets it because it's so obvious (like I have done with the Biggest Spanish Empire Countries, for example, in which it completely slipped my mind that I should include Spain).

Macao is a Special Administrative Region of China. It enjoys certain powers separate from the Chinese government (as does Hong Kong) and has Portuguese as an official language, but is not fully sovereign so is not included here.

Shouldn't this include China, as part of it (Macau) does have Portuguese as an official language. India doesn't need to be included as far as I can tell because Portuguese is not the official language in Goa.

Also independized is a very interesting way of saying "gained independence"
