There's one bonus answer for each continent, except Oceania. The bonus answers are the countries with the lowest registered population (greater than zero), except in two cases, where the answer is funny or interesting.

I think top 5 would be sufficient. For South America, it's just a matter of naming 10/12 of the continent's countries. Plus that would solve the issue of Oceania being uneven (right now there are only 8, instead of 10). Great quiz though.

I always assumed that Monaco would have lots of US citizens, simply because it must be a lovely place to live (nothing to do with the 0% rate of income tax, of course)

@puckett86 - I thought about that, definitely. The problem there is that the top 5 are all fairly obvious; only when you get into 6-10 are there some surprises. So it would wind up being a really easy quiz. As for the time limit, what do people think? The results page suggests the time limit is just fine.

Is the Kyrgyzstan one the one with lowest population or the funny/interesting bonus answer?

-4 for my last comment? I guess the Sporcle people support illegal practices.

-5 for being intolerant. Plenty of Mexicans are legally in the United States.

I meant illegal Mexicans, obviously if you're a citizen you're a citizen.

@bmo1616: if you're gonna talk sh*t, do something about it. Join the UFW's Take Our Jobs programs and do the jobs that Americans don't want to do but b*tch about 'the illegals' stealing. [http://www.takeourjobs.org/]

It's a quiz, dude. If you want to talk politics, there are plenty of comment threads on sites for that purpose. Take it there.
