Ooof, 29/30, missed Bulgaria. Interesting to see Czech Republic and not Slovakia. Guess everyone migrated west for a longer life in the mid '90s.

In the box where you guess, it says cities. It should say countries.

Yes I think a few of these quizzes quickly just become 'name every developed country' unfortunately

I thought that there would be a diversity of nations on here. Yet since Europe has a lower birth rate than the rest of the world, and since half of Euorpe was communist for 50 years, I was wrong.

Aargh. This might be the only quiz that I missed only the #1 answer. Kind of an obvious one in retrospect too.

I'm sure someone must have created a quiz for countries with the lowest life expectancy, many I'm sure will be below 65 years!

@IrichOspN - contrary to popular belief, the UK is actually a part of Europe.

More education -> more career-oriented people -> less children. Kinda funny :)

There is some evidence that the Japanese tend to not report the deaths of elders to continue their pension checks.

Josh, that should be 'fewer' children. And talking of education...

I didn't know that a lot of people considered the UK not to be in Europe because I am from the UK and have never considered myself to be out with Europe. Interesting.

@Heresy...it's a few isolated cases. Not "the Japanese" in general.
