	You may want to think about changing the title to modern day female-led countries, or adding queens from countries where monarchs had total authority in the past. It's still very clear what you're asking for, though. Good quiz!

	Amazingly, no one has yet pointed out that Kyrgyzstan is missing. Kyrgystan, of course, is a hot topic in the news at the moment due to the killings that have been going on there - no laughing matter really, despite the in-joke on Sporcle.

	I think the Kyrgyz President is only an "interim" at the moment.

	Roman:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 16:09 GMT	1 point
	wasn't Srimavo Baindaraike an interim leader also due to the death of her father?

	Why isn't Ukraine on here? Yulia Tymoshenko was PM for a while.

	newenglander:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 21:35 GMT	1 point
	@johnlk-I didnt include her becuase she really wasn't ukraine's top leader, the president is.

	Kyrgyzstan should be there.

	Australia now has a female PM

	You need to update it for Gillard in Australia.

	ANF:	Jun 26th, 2010 at 03:27 GMT	1 point
	The first female PM in New Zealand was Jenny Shipley in 1997. She is included in your source list.

	Julia Gillard has been the Australian PM for over a year now, this quiz needs to be updated

	EvilElmo:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 03:40 GMT	2 points
	This quiz really needs updating,Dilma Rousseff from Brazil is also missing.

	I don't think you can fairly include Edith Cresson and not include Yulia Tymoshenko

	Shouldn't Andorra be on this list? After all, one of its princes is the President of France and France has had female presidents.

	Thought this would be fun, but stopped playing after it became clear that you still haven't updated for any of the new female leaders from recent years (Gillard/Australia, Rouseff/Brazil, Thorning-Schmidt/Denmark).
