Great game! Can't believe I missed Finland and am amazed Canada didn't make the top 5 let alone the list at all. Living & learning I guess...

I couldn't believe Canada either, so I searched around, and found that only the Mackenzie river (incl. headstreams) has a length of 4,241 kilometers. So I guess Canada should be on this quiz.

Please accept Burma as an alternative for Myanmar.

Clearly they are not counting the Mackenzie River in Canada, as the river itself is longer than the 606 miles listed in the source. Perhaps it is because it is only navigable for 5 months out of the year when it is not frozen?

Columbia, St. Lawrence, Mackenzie, St. Maurice, the list of Canadian rivers is long. I wouldn't think the partial freezing argument can work judging by Russia's status as number 2 (it would mean Russia has about 28 full length Mississippi Rivers that never freeze)

I cannot fathom a reason that Canada would be so unbelievably low, other than that the CIA decided the dumb American stereotype needed some fresh support It really doesn't. sincerely, Canada (and quite possibly the rest of the world)
