I really like the idea of your quiz. The bonus section counts towards the overall total, so its not really a bonus.

the "bonus" section shouldn't be there

Maybe remove the bonus section entirely and use it for a seperate quiz? Still liked the quiz though!

Sorry to be critical as well, since everyone else has but I think you need to randomize the order for. Having continent and alphabetical order makes this very easy. I completely forgot about the bonus and clicked give up. I think if you want to include them you need to have them as actual bonus answers and put good instructions in the comments saying they're there.

Less confusing than random order would be ranking by population. I think the "bonus" section is fine as long as it's called something else, like "Non-sovereign territories".

Interesting quiz. I never knew the Netherlands Antilles had English as an official language, even though I'm Dutch.

Isn't English one of the 3 official languages of Israel?

GREAT! Best "English language" quiz I've played! I do agree with EGaffney about changing bonus to "non-sovereign territories", but I would leave them in because that's what makes the quiz more interesting.

Glad people like it - by popular demand I've changed the 'bonus' category name (as after all you get clues). Tristan is a dependency of St Helena (and should've shown up, I've now fixed the typo)

I think it's fine to alphabetize [or not to], but to be consistent. It would be completely alphabetized if you moved Belize, Guyana, Pakistan, and Australia, which is misleading once the list starts getting fleshed out.

You know, interesting fact, the USA and Australia do not have English as an official language dejure. The individual states have the right to designate official languages! Still, it makes sense in this quiz!
