Who were the 16% of people who gave North Korea a positive rating?

The BBC selected a handful of countries to survey. These are 16 hand-selected countries. So this quiz is asking "Can you name the 16 countries the BBC surveyed 17,000 people about?" which really isn't grounds for a quiz. Good job, poor source.

Well, it looks like the time has come for U.S. to just step aside and let the Germans, Brits and Canadians lead us all into the 21st century. (scary that 49% of BRITS had a negative attitude toward Israel.)

@Chriskotx Where does it say that 49% of Brits have a negative attitude towards Israel? The 49% above is of people surveyed in ALL nations taking part in the survey...

I'm shocked we're 3rd, didn't think Canada was influential at all.

techwork's right that the 49% refers to all people polled, from around the world. But if you look at all the data from the original poll you'll find that negative attitude in the UK toward Israel is actually higher than 49% (it's 14% positive/66% negative); the other European countries polled had similar results. From my observation, Americans are under the impression that only Muslim countries have a negative opinion of Israel when it's actually a good number of countries in Europe, East/South Asia and Latin America as well. I just don't think we're aware of anti-Israeli sentiment around the world. I guess it's not surprising to see that the United States had by far the most positive opinion of Israel compared to all other countries polled. Anyway, interesting poll. But it's pretty hard to make a good quiz out of it, considering that the countries asked about in the poll were selected by the BBC--not a real indicator of worldwide influence.

And to answer Chase's question, most of the positive ratings for North Korea came from Chile (30% positive, 33% negative), Turkey (28%/38%), Ghana (37%/21%), Indonesia (32/38), China (34/51), and the Philippines (31/57).

At least Israel is ahead of Pakistan, North Korea, and Iran!

At least Pakistan didn't kick an entire ethnic population off of its land.
