	Hong Kong is not a country...if Sporcle doesn't recognize it, it shouldn't be on the quiz. Other than that, nice job.

	Oh I apologize. I forgot to fix that. I suppose I'll make China an acceptable answer for Hong Kong, so that when China is answered, Hong Kong will also come up. Thank you for the reminder.

	Thanks for making Hong Kong work with China too! Awesome quiz, definitely deserves to get publishes. I'm nominating this one.

	I liked it, I always like those that teach you something while having fun.

	Hong Kong is not a country, It should be added onto the China figure, and should not be a standalone answer.

	@yellowcarpet-although hong kong is not a country, its statistics are vastly different than the rest of china due to their free market and democratic system, so i think having it as a standalone answer is fine as long as it pops up for typing in china. I think its interesting that hong kong contains less than 0.5% of china's population, but about 7.5% of china's students in the US are from hong kong

	What do you guys think about the time? Its at 5 minutes but I'm thinking I should maybe lower it by a minute or two.

	Nepal?!?? What do they take, Sherpa 101?

	ulashima:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 11:43 GMT		3 points
	Sherpa 101 would be GIVEN in Nepal, not the other way around. They are the experts at that.

	I'm unsurprised to see my Gambian friend not represented here. Thanks to Sporcle I asked him why he referred to his country as Gambia instead of "The Gambia" and he responded, why don't you refer to this country as "THE United States of America?" So now I say Gambia too :)

	Like tomahaha, I am glad to have learned something. And while I enjoy learning about many things, the subject of this quiz has important political ramifications that make it especially helpful. Great job!

	I didn't know there were 11,000 people in Nepal itself, let alone studying outside it...
