Please accept CAR and DRC, per Sporcle usual practice. Otherwise, good game.

I think the right thing to do with Denmark is make it a bonus. It should definitely be on here in some manner, though.

Isn't it sort of a double standard to include Denmark on land area alone, but not land area divided by population?

Denmark is in some ways akin to Egypt. Most of Egypt is empty - all the population lives in one specific area - the Nile valley. Most of Denmark (Greenland) is empty - all the population lives in one specific area - Jutland and neighboring territory and islands. That said, I can live with Denmark as a bonus so long as it is acknowledged.

Nice quiz, though the time is a little long. I'm pretty sure I typed every single country in the world (took me forever to think of Bahamas) and still had about two minutes left.

I'd definitely shave off at least three or four minutes, but it is a really great idea. I'm surprised that it hasn't been done before. I can't believe Equatorial Guinea made the cut. It's tiny!

Note to self: despite my assuming it should be so, there's absolutely no reason why physical size should have anything to do with density. I kept wanting to skip tiny countries because...you have to...cram all the people into a small space...which is definitely not logical even a little bit.

I'm really surprised Madagascar isn't on here, considering how much of it is made of land that has yet to be explored.

You should include Western Sahara as a bonus; Wiki lists it as having 5 people per square mile.

@EzrianBashirax No worries because you're pretty new to sporcle, but you'll see that there's a uniform set of answers for different countries. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is "DRC", the Republic of the Congo is "Rep Congo", and the Central African Republic is "CAR". You'll get used to it fairly quickly as you burn through the Geography section of the site

Accept "cen afr rep" like the countries of the world does, please. I assumed since you accepted similar variants of other countries that it wasn't in the answers and moved on. @JoeFish, I didn't know you could do CAR and DRC, I always just type dem rep congo, rep congo, cen afr rep.

Greenland either is or isn't part of Denmark. If it is, then there's no reason for Denmark to be treated as a bonus instead of a real answer. If it is not, then every other geography quiz on Sporcle needs to be modified.

Hit Uruguay, Guyana, and Paraguay. Tried Ecuador and rejected the idea of any other S.A country being on the list. My geographically challenged wife said "Chile" and to amuse her I put it in. That got me trying the rest of the continent. Sometimes she can be so smart.

I'm starting to think Greenland is the cousin no one wants to admit they're related to. I'm actually beginning to feel kind of bad for them.

Denmark is just a bonus? Blasphemy!
