Giving the nation as clue makes this pretty easy. I'd give the continent only - maybe the directional parts of Asia. (SW Asia, SE Asia, S Asia, E Asia).

I agree that giving the countries makes it easy but it was still pretty interesting.

Your source says otherwise. Shanghai has 25+million, Bangkok has 13+million to name a couple.

The source was updated 01/01/2012. I'm not sure when the data I used was collected, but I used what was on the site at the time the quiz was created. I'll work on an updated quiz.
