	Half those answers are not countries.

	60% of those answers are not countries.

	Yeah, Pitcairn is definitely NOT a sovereign nation. Tokelau is a New Zealand territory. Check this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population if you're just going by population. Those locations listed in bold are self-governing countries. So your 10 least populated countries (not counting the decidedly not obscure Vatican City) are, in order least to most populated, would be Nauru, Tuvalu, Palau, San Marino, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Marshall Islands, Dominica and Andorra. Now a couple of those aren't very obscure either, so you could replace Palau, Monaco and Liechtenstein with Seychelles, Kiribati and Tonga.

	Further, you need to define what you mean by "obscure"; it seems you intend the quiz to be on smallest population.

	This quiz really needs a MASSIVE overhaul. The fact you didn't do your research on what is and isn't a country made me not attempt to do the quiz. And as Elendil pointed out, what do you mean by 'Obscure'...that could refer to location, population, size etc. it's too ambiguous for a quiz title. All in all very poor and you should take it offline or completely revamp it would be my advice. No globes.

	Nauru, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Comoros = Countries, but not obscure. Pitcairn Islands = UK overseas territory, only somewhat obscure. Guernsey, Isle of Man = UK crown dependencies, not obscure. Tokelau, Cook Islands = New Zealand territories, not obscure. Nagorno-Karabakh = Disputed territory in the Caucaus, obscure, but only recognized by Transnistria, also unrecognized, so it's hardly a country.

	When i made this, I meant it to be more like "lesser-known countries". I do think I needed to put some more time into it, and I will try to fix it at some point in the near future. I apologize for not doing it well, and hope that you will try it again when I remodel it.

	Ok, I changed the he title and headings to something somewhat better, but it still has a ways to go. I will fix more later, but I don't have the time to do it right now. Again, I apologize for a poor quiz overall.

	Oh yeah, one thing. When I added Vatican city, I was going on what most sites and people had said. No one I talked to had guessed Vatican City, so I figured it would work. I guess it's more of a problem of you knowing it but a lot of people not knowing it. Please give any advice you feel is needed, and be completely honest. I want to make a good quiz, not a poor one.

	Who hasn't heard of the Vatican City? It's in Rome, and the pope lives there. Everyone has heard of the Vatican City. If the Vatican City and Nagorno-Karabakh is equally known where you live, you either live in Armenia, or in some really anti religious place where people are very up-to-date on Caucasus issues.
