Nice quiz. :D Could use a little less time though.

Good quiz, but specify that this is based off of where people lived in relation to modern countries and NOT based on the countries that existed in 1500. I was pretty sure that the DRC didn't exist 500 years ago.

I think it would be a better quiz if we actually had to name the most populous countries in the year 1500.

I think it's surprising how, given everything that's happened in 500 years, this list hasn't changed THAT much at all.

Poor quiz: despite creator's claim above, it doesn't say 'present-day countries' in any heading. Even if it did, how could one measure how many lived in e.g. that bit of the former Ottoman Empire that corresponds to present-day Turkey. And as for the DRC...
