Not Brazil, but that is a very close guess.

Country most covered; Guyana?

HomeInMyShoes · 01-17-2014, 10:23 AM

Not Guyana, but you are close. There are two answers I'll accept for least covered. One should be easy, and one not so easy unless you study geography and sociology a bit.

Close to Brazil and Guyana - Suriname?

Bilbo1967 · 01-17-2014, 10:51 AM

French Guiana?

Least covered, Mali?

HomeInMyShoes · 01-17-2014, 03:39 PM

Mali is surprisingly covered in forest at 10.14% of land area.

HomeInMyShoes · 01-17-2014, 04:14 PM

Okay, it's time to let Orlok do the next quiz. For the unanswered questions.

3. Canada has what is estimated at over 3,000,000 lakes. I believe that. There are over 30,000 lakes in Canada greater than 3sq kilometers and 9% of Canada is covered in fresh water.

6. The least forested country is apparently Qatar with 0% of the land area forested. The other country I would have accepted would have been Haiti, which through deforestation has about 1.5% of its land covered in forest now. Its neighbour the Domincan Republic is roughly 28% forested for comparison to what has happened there.

7. The largest country with no farms is apparently Singapore.

Surprisingly being the key word.
Qatar I can believe since I've been there. However, that makes you wonder about Dubhai and Abu Dhabi and if memory sereves Dubhai is larger (however they perhaps have some forrest?)

No to all of them, though 1 is so close that I'll give it to you if no one gets the specific answer.
