Name the 25 countries that have the most cathedrals (including Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, and other denominations). Each correct answer will complete a portion of the stained glass window.
These counts include both actual cathedrals and a few prominent churches from non-episcopal denominations commonly referred to as "cathedral."

Thanks to Stewart. He's been a huge help with SVG's.
I love the style, but allow me to complain just a tad if I may...
I was very surprised to find Ghana on the list, so I did some digging and they seem to be pretty liberal with the word "cathedral" - I checked out a few pictures and some of them look like the kind of small church you find in villages all over Europe.
Complaint over, it was a great quiz and I only missed one!
I was also surprised that Ghana made the list, but I did not go the extra mile and find pictures. Kudos. :) The source states that the list includes "a few prominent churches from non-episcopal denominations commonly referred to as 'cathedral.'" I suppose grandiose is in the eye of the beholder.
A cathedral is the seat of a bishop, it has nothing to do with the size of the building. Usually there is one cathedral per bishop. In Ghana however, there are apparently catholic bishops with two or more churches, called co-cathedrals, sharing the function of cathedral. So this might be why the number is higher than expected.
