Great quiz but the source is a bit outdated. More recent numbers seem to put Switzerland ahead of Serbia. Check the wiki pages of both countries.

I think you should give a couple of minutes more. The point of a minefield quiz is to think carefully without missing a step, not to blitz through it.

Would it be possible to put the rank of the wrong answers in so we know how close we were to getting in the top 20 or just for knowledge reasons :p

Hmm... I was thinking about Turkey's rank. Only small part of it is located in Europe and that European part has a population of 9,799,745. That would still put Turkey as an answer in this quiz but not between Germany and France but between Hungary and Belarus. Only European part of Russia would still put Russia as number one in population.

@inomu; I'm going to use the population for the whole country, because it then cancels out any chance of there being a confusion. And as you say, the answers will remain the same, but in a different order anyway. May I also ask that someone nominates this quiz? It's exactly the kind of quiz nearly everyone would play, I'd be extremely thankful.

Ukraine has like 5,5 million people more than spain. Also, according to my source Serbia has about 10,159,000 on population. http://www.aneki.com/countries2.php?t=Most_Populated_Countries_in_Europe&table=fb34&places=*=*&order=desc&orderby=fb34.value&decimals=--&dependency=independent&number=all&cntdn=asc&r=-8-9-11-12-13-14-15-16-17&c=europe&measures=Country--Population&units=--&file=europe_populated

at tomodach1: I believe your source has information from 2000. But nonetheless, it is most definitely outdated, since Spain actually surpassed the Ukraine (by about 1,000,000 now), and Italy has started increasing in population (now about 61,000,000.)

@Azazello and delanierio, I think the idea is to motivate you to keep trying again and again to find them yourself. ;)

Turkey is a bit of a controversial one, a lot of people see that as Asia. It caught me out the first time.

I think Turkey's count should only be for the European part, as some Europe quizzes with Turkey do.

Turkey belongs in the list when you consider that the population of Istanbul (~13 million) alone is enough to place on the top 20

@michgrad04: in the 13 million you are counting also the population of the Asian part of Istanbul. However, taking the European part of Istanbul and the rest of European Turkey, you still have 10.4 million, so Turkey would appear anyway. (Nobody objects the inclusion of Turkey in the quiz, but its place is somehow misleading. After guessing France, Italy and the UK, I wondered for a while what other purely European country would be over 60 million so as to appear so high in the list).

I know for a fact Vatican should be top 20. Whoever made this quiz must be misinformed.
