	Always interesting to see statistics like this. I knew that it was going to turn into a "name every African country I can think of" (plus a few) type quiz.

	"Republic of the Congo" does not work

	Brittanica:	May 1st, 2010 at 04:33 GMT		1 point
	As has already been noted, "Republic" is spelled wrong for the Republic of the Congo

	Ah, that explains it...I KNEW I typed Republic of the Congo. I've seldom seen a quiz so continent-centric...wild.

	ClamBuckets:	May 1st, 2010 at 04:38 GMT		35 points
	Well it looks like at least 7% of the quiz-takers are taking it for a second time or are prone to making serendipitous typos.

	Republic of the Congo works now, and so does RC

	fierce_deity:	May 1st, 2010 at 04:52 GMT		51 points
	This quiz should be called "name the African countries with non-functioning governments, plus a few more poor countries"

	Danny_Duberstein:	May 1st, 2010 at 05:00 GMT		29 points
	There should be a quiz that cross-references this data with highest proportion of the population that has HIV/AIDS. That's a frightening combo.

	These statistics are pretty scary. Interesting quiz.

	Out of nowhere... IT'S F*CKING KIRIBATI

	That's not really good. Impoverished nations, AIDs & Malaria rampant. Those countries need help, but they will never see the help they need.

	rockgolf:	May 1st, 2010 at 05:54 GMT		170 points
	I expected Ireland to be on here. After all, a significant part of the population is always Dublin.

	Endasil:	May 1st, 2010 at 06:34 GMT		26 points
	Yeah, Kiribati came out of nowhere! Please accept Rep of Congo like all other Sporcle quizzes.

	I do wonder where all these extra I-Kiribati are going to go. Their country is sinking, isn't it?

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	May 1st, 2010 at 11:03 GMT		16 points
	So Ethiopia is going to go from 85 million people to 202 million people in the next 40 years? Wow.

	Quizzes like these makes me sad. Little Uganda is already overpopulated with over 32 million people, and by 2050 they'll have almost 100 million. That's over 400 people per square kilometer.

	I went through the Countries of Africa quiz in my head, then gave up. I scored 28/34.

	@red_andy: It's definitely sinking. I mean, it's always been sinking. But it's still sinking. And the ocean is rising. Pretty bad combo for the i-Kiribati out there... though, I wonder if they took land changes in account when considering population growth?

	You should accept "Rep of Congo"

	Of course...all the places that can least manage an exploding population.

	HollywoodLeo:	May 1st, 2010 at 16:57 GMT		6 points
	This quiz is too African centric!

	Dorak:	May 1st, 2010 at 17:55 GMT		1 point
	Darn. I tried Uruguay but not Paraguay!

	Esme:	May 1st, 2010 at 18:20 GMT		14 points
	I really thought UAE would be on here since their population has been doubling at the world's fastest rate for a while now (something like once every 8 years), with Dubai alone getting 10,000 new residents every month, but I guess that'll be coming to an end soon? Hard to squeeze more people in around all those cranes, I guess...

	Tapestry:	May 1st, 2010 at 20:05 GMT		3 points
	I doubt the doubling will ever happen, they have too many uncontrolled killer diseases, let alone yearly massacres and starvation, running through the African nations; the children are dying about as fast as replacements happen.

	What no Kyrgyzstan?

	Grandy:	May 1st, 2010 at 20:48 GMT		5 points
	Now I am curious what countries have indeed doubled their population in the past forty years. We may predict a doubling by 2050, but who would have thought forty years ago so many Africans would have been wiped out by HIV/AIDS in the past three decades. So sad for that continent.

	^ China has that one-child policy so I didn't expect it to be on here.

	btroup1:	May 2nd, 2010 at 02:41 GMT		7 points
	Bumped up Tapestry because I think she's right. With so many inherent problems on the continent, some countries will simply reach critical mass. Yes it's a morbid thought.

	ari18:	May 2nd, 2010 at 02:43 GMT		13 points
	Funny how close this is to a "name the countries in Africa" quiz... or maybe not so funny...
