	Starting with Europe and almost forgetting South America is a bad idea.

	The awkward moment it turns into a 'Name the countries of South America' quiz about halfway through.

	Yeah this quiz is too South American centric.

	I know I'm an idiot when I run out of countries, and then try Cape Verde out of desperation, because it has a Spanish name. Oh dear. What you have done to me Sporcle...

	Most of them make sense, but what's up with #1?

	Romania? Why, what's the story?

	Wikipedia says Romanians are "attracted by the higher wages" and the common "latin identity [found in] the linguistic similarities between Romanian and Spanish."

	Hmm, so no Cuba, Mexico, or Panama... screw it not gonna bother Latin America and the Caribbean. Curse you Dominican Republic!

	Funny how the Philippines makes it on so many other of these types of quizzes - no matter how obscure the country - but doesn't make the list for the country that ruled over it for 300 years.

	My family in Spain would call those Romanians "gitanos" and it's not nice.

	Mexico fooled me too. You would think that nationals a country with a large population, with high violent crime rates from drug cartels and poor labor laws would consider emigrating to a country that 1) speaks the same language as them and 2) ruled over them for 300 years.

	Please forgive my ignorance, but can anyone enlighten me as to why many Brazilians are immigrating to Spain? I understand the other Latin American countries, since they are Spanish-speaking and were part of the Spanish Empire, but Brazil is Portuguese-speaking. Please correct me if I'm mistaken/if I'm missing something glaringly obvious. Thank you!

	Hard to believe so many Romanian nationals live in Spain. I guess Spain doesn't get a whole lot of sunlight.

	I lived in Spain for nearly twenty years and never met a single Romanian. Most of the others, yes, but Romanians not a one.

	yes, there are a lot of romanians in spain, most of them are called "gitanos" because they are gipsy-romanians, these ones live in worst conditions and find harder to adapt. I am quite surprised about brazil, I haven't never met one, here, in Spain.
