Nice quiz! Didn't expect South Africa to have a higher population than South Korea. Maybe add that "Burma " is not an acceptable answer? Otherwise it would beat Burkina Faso.

It was Burma for a long time on this site. Only recently has Jetpunk recognized it's sovereignty. And these days, Jetpunk holds about as much water to me as the UN.

No, it's offical (English) name is "Republic of the Union of Myanmar".

My first inclination was to think of states simply because a decent portion are abbreviations.

Yep...and then you realize that California, if by itself, would be the largest country in the world that begins with CA at 39 million people.

Iran stumped me - couldn't get Ireland out of my head, which blatantly doesn't have 80m+ people...

I think once I reach the point where I start guessing lesser-known countries instead of the actual answers, that might be the sign that I'm on JetPunk too much.

Getting fairly desperate with these nitpicker awards, eh? Cpg actually brought up a minor, but nonetheless an error in the quiz.

Cpgatbyu is not a nitpicker. Without the m, TU has a population of only 84.3, which immediately suggests something like Tuvalu.

I agree, I tried Tuvalu too. Even though I was puzzled about the 0.3 people there...

I think the TU country might need their population updated from 84.3 people?

Might be out by a scale factor of a million or so.

'BU' stumped me. What could it be? Butan? Bunei? Then I finally remembered Bulgaria with a few seconds left and it was still wrong.

No way Pakistan is already close to 250 million...

Didn't they just surpass 200?

And how did Nigeria apparently gain 40 million people in about 5 years?

Absolutely refused to believe Belarus had fewer people than Benin. Lol thats a lot of space for only 9.3 mill. Fewer than Greece.
