When I see "largest" I'm thinking of area, not population size. So I'd change the title.

I was hoping its V might give even Vatican City a chance to appear on a most-populous countries quiz, but no such luck. Right now the Pope is logged into his Sporcle account and saying, "We coulda been a contender." Sorry, @benedict15.

I didn't expect Kyrgyzstan to be in for Y, but I was fairly surprised to find it wasn't there for Z.

My highest personal compliment: Normally I hate "countries with the letter..." quizzes. But for someone who has not come close to being able to remember all of the countries in ANY sitting, this was great, fun, and interesting; and has forever etched "Bangladesh" into my quiz-playing consciousness.

I like getting stuck on big countries and going through the list to point out all the letters that show the same population. I was able to pick out B, D, E, G, L, and S and then Bangladesh came to me.

I agree with LinuxLinus... not only #1 for F, but USA should also be #1 for M, O and R, and #2 for C...

@antoniobroto: I hear you. I wonder sometimes myself when i see the quality of what gets published and how many times the same person gets published week after week. However in this case your quiz was created after this one so you weren't first.

There is something wrong with the answers "United States of America". Some letters have multiple answers like that with different population counts.

Says their are 243 answers on page, but I filled in all the spots. On Friends scores and standings says 242 out of 242. There are no scores of 100% on the board.

@mselby - no it's still not right. 'US' gives some answers and 'USA' gives others, and 'United States of America' appears twice in some categories (N, O, R, S, T, U) with different population figures for each case.

There were four mistakes re USA appearing twice under some letters. Thankfully they've been corrected: for R, #2 is Brazil (with 199 million); for S, #3 is Pakistan (190 million); for T, #3 is Vietnam (91.5 million); and for U, #3 is Turkey (79 million)
