Alaska has been messing with Texas for 50 years now. Only more than 2x the size of not so big Texas.

You should change "Greenland" to "Denmark (Greenland)".

good quiz, maybe you could do a sequel, like countries smaller than rhode island or countries smaller than alaska

Why is Denmark a bonus answer? Greenland is part of Denmark, no questions asked, so it should be a regular answer.

Yes, it's essentially a "largest countries" quiz, but so what? It's a novelty quiz.

Awesome quiz! But oooo!!!! Denmark INC. Greenland got me once again!! Oh well, I just recommend on making the us or u.s. an alternate answer of your U.S.A.

there's really no point to this quiz because you can just name the largest countries quiz

i definitely didn't even think of the usa, and i remember in 5th grade, someone tried to tell me that texas was bigger than alaska, i'm fairly certain that 12 years later, he STILL thinks that

@sugarpill, it's not on here by virtue of being smaller than Alaska.

Wow. For someone who nitpicked on one single answer on my quiz and completely bashed it for that reason, you just made a "Largest Countries" quiz (as indicated by others above) and are pretending it is novel or unique.

This quiz may be rather pointless but the information on it is still correct. I can't say the same thing about the portion of your quiz that I was nitpicking before you (finally) edited it.

When you think about it, aren't ALL Sporcle quizzes pretty much "pointless?" It's all just for fun. Just saying.

Sudan is not larger than Algeria anymore. I don't know whether it's still on the list or not, but at least it has to change position and information

Wow! Not many countries are bigger than Alaska! Yes I know it's the U.S's biggest state, but whoa!

@Bladselleri and HollywoodLeo: Sudan is now 1,886,068 km2 due to the formation of South Sudan, so it is still on the list but between Indonesia and Libya.

Sudan has been split. It needs to be changed. Nice quiz
