Surprised to see Portugal (yey!) and Iceland on the list, behind more proeminent countries like Netherlands, Ireland, Poland, Belgium, Norway, Cuba or the two Koreas

Let's wait a week and then do "Name the top 10 most guessed countries in Sporcle's 'Name the top 20 most guessed countries in Sporcle's Countries of the World quiz' quiz."

I think you need another "quiz" at the end of that quiz name: "Name the top 10 most guessed countries in Sporcle's 'Name the top 20 most guessed countries in Sporcle's "Countries of the World quiz" quiz' quiz". :) And I second the motion.

@recklessness: I was also surprised, and pleased, to see Portugal. Really thought I would have seen Greece though.

the reason portugal is on there is like this. Most people here are from the US. Thus, US. Neighbors are Canada, Mexico. Friends overseas are the Uk and the european powers. one of them is spain, and right beside spain is portugal. Connecting from here is brazil. Iceland is far down the list because people forget that there's a landmass between NA and Europe sometimes. :P

I definitely thought of Iceland but, after typing "Ireland" and seeing it wasn't there, I didn't think it would be one of the answers. Don't ever doubt yourself, sporcle

If I'm the only one, so be it, but... I'm getting really tired of these "meta" Sporcle quizzes. I've personally had more than enough of quizzes that only exist because of their relation to other quizzes. Of course, that is the opinion of but one Sporcler.

The top 4 are almost exactly what I expected, but the fact that France and Spain both beat out the UK and China surprises me.

Sporcle format is to use the American system of dating things. Not to be U.S.-centric, but the quiz should be retitled to have the month before the day.

Only 96% of the people guess USA when you ask them to name all of the countries in the world, but 100% of them guess USA when you ask them to guess the most guessed?

Iceland is most likely guessed over other more "prominent" countries like recklessness said is because the world map gets crowded in around Europe. It is hard to tell what has been guessed or not. Iceland on the other hand is all by itself and easy to spot.

Why do I always forget France? I like France. France never did anything to me. France gave me cuisine and art, yet I consistently ignore France on quizzes. Maybe I'm taking France for granted. Forgive me, France! You do not deserve this! The same thing happens with Lincoln on US Presidents quizzes (but Lincoln knows what he did.)

I think UK/Britain/England/Ireland concepts trip up more Atlantic left siders than probably should. As someone suggested re Portugal vs Benelux, it makes since going from left to right before the map gets crowded.

I wonder if the quiz was done now whether Equatorial Guinea and Papua New Guinea would appear, they are the new Kyrgyzstan.

I'm guessing Portugal is on the liost because it is the first country you come to in Europe. Its usually where i start when I get to Europe.

I guess Russia is several spots down from third in this quiz because there's no map. Hard to look at the map of the world and see the countries in Eurasia and overlook Russia.

@bsd987: A better idea would be to push for Sporcle to have greater use of the ISO-8601 standard (e.g., 2009-10-24). This has several advantages: it lowers U.S.-centricity; the dictionary ordering of dates agrees with the chronological ordering; and, since nobody uses a year/day/month ordering, it is unambiguous to read.

Can we declare Kyrgyzstan the official country of Sporcle? I'd wear a shirt that said "I spent all day on Sporcle and all I got was this lousy knowledge of the spelling of Kyrgyzstan"

Ehm, why isn't Cuba on this list if so many Sporclers are from the USA? Is Fidel's country being kept under wraps? :-)

This quiz makes me want to get a group together to all only guess "Equatorial Guinea" and "Nauru" hundreds of time on the country quiz, just to mess with the results.

So is Iceland well known for being on the quiz, or not so well known for being 30% guessed. The problems that Sporclers face.

How about a quiz for the top 20 most-liked comments on the Countries of the World quiz? Or would DavidR just dominate that?
