	Excellent quiz, although I'd also love to see a per capita version someday, since I figure some countries on this list have small economies purely because they're small in land mass area.

	gopaladins:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 08:41 GMT	8 points
	"saint vincent" should count, as it does on other country quizzes.

	Lindsay:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 08:44 GMT	4 points
	I agree - I typed in "Saint Vincent" as I do in the other quizzes, and when it didn't work, I just figured it wasn't in the top 25. It ended up being one of two that I missed.

	AdmiralMaxtreme:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 09:13 GMT	6 points
	The counter that keeps track of your right answers says "countrys" instead of "countries."

	bencraft:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 09:59 GMT	10 points
	I'm surprised Monaco's there, i mean i know its small but everyones minted there!

	bsd987:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 10:49 GMT	4 points
	there's no #12 so #13 gets repeated as two different countries despite different economy sizes. somehow got all 25, although the last two I got were the two least frequently solved. great quiz.

	Great quiz. Interesting to see the 100fold difference in value from lowest to highest. I agree with the comment above- it would be interesting to have a per capita version.

	yankeessuck8991:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 10:57 GMT	5 points
	Interesting. Tuvalu sells out its internet domain name, .tv, for $4 million a year. You'd think that more than just $11 million more would come.

	cocky:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 12:38 GMT	-3 points
	Yes, I'd hardly call Monaco poverty stricken. I kept trying a bunch of African nations since so many are poor. I knew #1 but couldn't remember how to spell it. A per capita quiz would be much better as this is skewed somewhat by their size. San Marino is a city state inside Italy. I doubt they are that poor as many ther e likely work in Italy.

	davidr:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 12:56 GMT	4 points
	@Lindsay and cocky: Per capita richest and poorest are much more representative measures, yes. They're on their way.

	davidr:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 12:58 GMT	4 points
	@Ben and cocky: Monaco's full of rich people but they earn their money outside Monaco and only spend enough time there to qualify for residence and low taxes. So they're rich but they don't do much, economically speaking, within Monaco.

	There's a word spelled wrong in the name of #6...

	ckbryant:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 16:50 GMT	1 point
	Monaco was a shocker--you'd think just the casino and the Formula One race would put it off the charts. At the moment, answer 6 reads "Federates States of Micronesia"--I doubt that throws anyone, since we all just type "Micronesia."

	jesus:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 17:05 GMT	8 points
	its funny that there are some people in this world who are worth more than all these countries put together.

	Lindsay:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 17:29 GMT	1 point
	Thanks davidr - looking forward to doing those quizzes as well. :)

	marpocky:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 17:48 GMT	2 points
	Sort of related to this, can we get a "Least Populated Nations" sometime to go with Most Populated? I suspect many, but not all, of the same countries from this quiz will be on there.

	newenglander:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 17:51 GMT	4 points
	Yes, everyones rich in Monaco, but that doesn't necassarily mean the country itself is loaded.

	Arrgh:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 19:08 GMT	1 point
	I got zero. lol

	davidr:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 19:20 GMT	1 point
	@Andy B: I compiled it a while ago but it's not made it to the front of the queue to be published yet. A quick count suggests that eighteen of the answers are shared between the two quizzes.

	davidr:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 19:22 GMT	1 point
	@P. Miller: You'll probably do better at the lowest per capita GDP quiz when I get it sorted out. That consists of countries that people will recognize as poor, whereas this quiz is mainly small countries, to be honest.

	Roman:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 21:39 GMT	3 points
	well none of these countries have over a million people, with the exception of Liberia.

	Roman:	Dec 24th, 2008 at 23:03 GMT	0 points
	and what's the picture on the top of the quiz?

	cocky:	Dec 26th, 2008 at 08:05 GMT	2 points
	david-I don't know if this is the best place to suggest this, but here goes. Is there any way the admins could set up a main discussian board where people could discuss quizzes and suggest new ones?

	Joe_Ball:	Dec 26th, 2008 at 20:34 GMT	6 points
	Question - if I had 15 million, does that mean I could buy Tuvalu?

	davidr:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 00:54 GMT	1 point
	@cocky: You can send suggestions (including new quizzes and the suggestion of discussion boards that aren't connected to individual quizzes) to the admins using the feedback link at the bottom of each page.

	davidr:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 00:57 GMT	1 point
	@Joe Ball: No. It means that, with 15 million, you could do as much economically as all the people of Tuvalu do in a year. GDP is about economic activity, not value of property. So, for example, buying something `generates' GDP but simply owning it doesn't.

	cocky:	Jan 4th, 2009 at 22:15 GMT	6 points
	Where does the Vatican rank? They can't sell that many figurines of the Pope to generate that much econmic activity.

	peanut4:	Jan 24th, 2009 at 03:10 GMT	1 point
	I thought tuvalu was minted because of its .tv internet domain?

	matty bo:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 11:27 GMT	1 point
	where does Haiti rank? I would assume that seeing as it is the poorest nation in the caribbean it would also be on this list lower than dominica

	expat:	Feb 5th, 2009 at 22:19 GMT	0 points
	this quiz is way to polynesia-islando centric jajaja

	Observer:	Feb 20th, 2009 at 11:24 GMT	1 point
	I can type in St Vincent with no problem but not Sao Tome. I have to type in the whole name...

	melissa:	Mar 1st, 2009 at 06:11 GMT	1 point
	@Observer - that's consistent with the other geography games (eg countries of the world; countries of north america; etc.) - you can type in "St Vincent" for "St Vincent and the Grenadines" but you always have to type in "Sao Tome and Principe". Don't know why but i bet davidr does!

	konnie:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 13:58 GMT	1 point
	I think it should accept "Sao Tome et Principe" like the African and world quizzes do. Missed that and Liberia.

	A_is_for_Addict:	Apr 14th, 2009 at 15:48 GMT	3 points
	"Sao Tome e Principe" not et, it's Portugeuse right? The world quiz doesn't accept Sao Tome et Principe, but Africa does. I think it's a mistake.

	AussieJono:	May 10th, 2009 at 23:36 GMT	1 point
	I cannot believe I missed San Marino. I was going over all the European microstates in my head and thought I'd tried all of them.

	Dom the challenger:	May 13th, 2009 at 23:25 GMT	1 point
	Ou est le Vatican? Clearly doing a fine trade in Pope soap and candles. Or perhaps just royalties off of Dan Brown book/film conversions...

	GeoExpert:	May 19th, 2009 at 04:05 GMT	1 point
	Surprised on how few African nations were on the list. But I did assume that the majority would be island nations. I was looking for Vatican City, but they obviously get tourism or something.

	AtomicIce:	May 20th, 2009 at 08:49 GMT	1 point
	The only one I was surprised by was Liberia. Considering they have over 3 million people (much larger than the next largest population), the standard of living there must be rock bottom.

	Jiyuncat:	Jun 10th, 2009 at 20:35 GMT	1 point
	got 24 missed liberia. I kept trying smalles countries i remembered.

	Offtheheazy6:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 18:40 GMT	2 points
	This is just another smallest country game, they should make it per captia or something, that'd be more interesting
