The word Mali means "little" in Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian and Bosnian, so maybe that shifts things up a little. Definitely skews the stats.

I think it's simply swell that all the countries that actually border Paraguay all got beat out by Uruguay. The "guay" wars continue...

Very curious why so many Europeans are googling Madagascar, and why so many South Americans are googling Israel.

@Nover220: Yes, I know, but that's how the source has it, so I indicate that the answer no longer exists and I accept Serbia, Kosovo, and Montenegro.

Israel basically seems to be Indonesia, and countries with substantial Jewish populations, right? I was surprised to see Argentina wasn't on that list.

@ Mongoose1 I would say it's golf. Lots of us Paddys frequent Portugal for its golf courses.

And here I thought Sporcle would have caused more US googling of "Kryzgyszzt...whatever."

@LinuxLinux actually, colombia and chile's palestinian populations are significatively larger than their jewish ones, so that might be the reason they rank so high

@nyo: the Soviets (mainly Stalin) thought the Koreans might side with the Japanese, so they were moved to Central Asia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_of_Koreans_in_the_Soviet_Union

The list is also skewed by the use of Google in countries, I'm sure some countries use Google a lot more than others. I assumed that most of the countries would be topped by the US because of the amount internet users. I still don't see how Ireland with around 5 million people can google Portugal more than Spain with 50 million people and they are right next door. Even the UK with 60 million people must google Portugal more than Ireland. Having thought about it I'm not sure I really understand the quiz.

bigturnip--Just because there are more people in the UK than in Ireland doesn't mean there are more people there who are interested in Portugal. ;)

@nyo maybe South Koreans are googling Kyrgyzstan because of the Sporcle effect.

Fascinating quiz! Mali is one of about 10 words in Croatian that I know so when I saw the Mali results and the former Yugoslavian countries that was my first thought. Didn't know about the Soviet deportation of Koreans to Kyrgyzstan. Five globes and nominated. Really like how there were so many factors to consider for each country ranging from proximity to conflict, from religion to emigration, from former colonial relationships to accidental linguistic anomalies (mali).
