	What's with the Balkans and Mali?

	Rdub19:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 04:56 GMT	49 points
	The word Mali means "little" in Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian and Bosnian, so maybe that shifts things up a little. Definitely skews the stats.

	Yugoslavia is not a country anymore...

	MathijsP:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 08:03 GMT	1 point
	Better to remove Mali I guess. took this quiz the oher way around

	zzyzx501:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 08:32 GMT	11 points
	I think it's simply swell that all the countries that actually border Paraguay all got beat out by Uruguay. The "guay" wars continue...

	just another "type lots of country names" quiz

	Fidelio:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 11:11 GMT	7 points
	Very curious why so many Europeans are googling Madagascar, and why so many South Americans are googling Israel.

	nyo:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 13:03 GMT	9 points
	What's up with South Koreans googling Kyrgyzstan? Good quiz.

	Mongoose1:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 13:44 GMT	14 points
	Wonder what has us Irish so interested in Portugal!? goes off and googles Portugal to find out

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 15:01 GMT	6 points
	@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.

	LinuxLinus:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 15:16 GMT	3 points
	Israel basically seems to be Indonesia, and countries with substantial Jewish populations, right? I was surprised to see Argentina wasn't on that list.

	Smasher:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 15:47 GMT	4 points
	@ Mongoose1 I would say it's golf. Lots of us Paddys frequent Portugal for its golf courses.

	magister:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 18:58 GMT	11 points
	And here I thought Sporcle would have caused more US googling of "Kryzgyszzt...whatever."

	CHIPSandGRAVY:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 19:47 GMT	-4 points
	Random.

	universallove:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 21:23 GMT	2 points
	mali means little or it can mean, a young man...many people would type that in, i see how it makes sense.

	excelent quiz, nominated

	sexualdemocracy:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 00:52 GMT	3 points
	@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

	Tabasco:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 08:39 GMT	4 points
	@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

Comment below threshold: show it

	Hmmm I wonder why Iraq Googles those countries so much..?

	bigturnip:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 00:43 GMT	1 point
	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.

	Chocolatl:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 23:11 GMT	2 points
	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. ;)

	TJL:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 17:46 GMT	5 points
	@nyo maybe South Koreans are googling Kyrgyzstan because of the Sporcle effect.

	tahitiwahini:	Jan 20th, 2011 at 22:34 GMT	2 points
	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).

	Lol why would ethiopia google norway.
