| A few comments from the contributor . . . 1. The source of this quiz lists top 101 places with populations over 500. As this would result in very many "unknown" places, a filter of 25,000 was used. The use of this filter has, however, resulted in fewer than 3 entries for several countries that one might expect to see here (Canada, United Kingdom, Hungary, South Africa to name a few).
2. There are a number of inconsistencies in the source data. Of course, Polynesia and East Africa are regions rather than countries. They are grouped. The republics of the former Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia are also grouped (as are the Koreas), except for Bosnia & Herzegovina which apparently has enough expatriots to be included.
3. The individual Boroughs of New York (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, etc.) are listed as separate places. I don't know whether this was done with other places. |
