As for Hong Kong being a country rather than part of a country, technically you're correct. But for the purpose of this quiz, Hong Kong was the answer I was looking for. Having been to Hong Kong many times, and China too, in my mind there is NOTHING that would make one think that Hong Kong is part of China except politics.

French Guiana is not a sovereign country. It's a territory of France.

OK, if 1 isn't the US, how about France?

I assume territories are being counted.

I think you should give the point to orlok as he provided the answer you were looking for. On a general note I share your opinion about China/Hongkong, just wondered because of the wonders of politics...

Papua New Guinea is gone as well.

If Antarctica counts as a country that is a sure winner. It covers all time zones.

Sorry, my mistake... not putting back Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea when I refreshed the list. They are both correct.

1. What country has the most time zones?
2. What country is most likely to be completely flooded first if the seas rise? Maldives - Sneaky Snake
3. What country makes all it's roads cement out of crushed coral rather than sand?
4. What country has the most natural lakes? Canada - Dreams
5. What is the least densely populated country? Mongolia - Billi
6. What is the most densely populated country? Hong Kong - Orlok
7. What country has more of its citizens living outside its borders than inside?
8. What country is mostly covered by jungle? 91% coverage, in fact!
9 What is the largest country with absolutely no farms? (not including flowers) Singapore - Hamlet35
10. What country has the largest variety of spoken languages? Papua New Guinea - Hamlet 35

Sorry, not a country. It's parts and pieces are claimed by several different countries.

A few more hints;
1. Think territories and possessions
3. It's an island nation with almost no beaches
7. Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Hapsburg Spain, Knights of St John, French and the British ruled this country in past history. Extremely valuable military strategic importance in its location.
8. French New Guinea is a neighbor

Sneaky, the beaches on Vanuatu are wonderful!

I didn't think this group of questions would be so difficult! One man's meat.... etc.
