1. Q: In which country is Europe’s most active stratovolcano, Mount Etna?
   A: Italy. It is situated on the eastern coast of the Italian island of Sicily.
2. Q: Which country is officially known as the Hellenic Republic?
   A: Greece. In Greek, the country is historically and currently called Hellas or Ellada.
3. Q: What is the fifth largest country in the world by total area?
   A: Brazil. It covers approximately 8.5 million square kilometres (3.28 million square miles).
4. Q: What is the highest mountain in Europe?
   A: Mount Elbrus, which stands at 5,642 meters (18,510 feet). Because the Caucasus Mountains fall along the geographic boundary between Europe and Asia, the continent’s highest peak is sometimes debated. However, major mountaineering bodies widely accept Mount Elbrus as Europe’s highest mountain. In Western Europe (or the European Alps), that title goes to Mont Blanc.
5. Q: What is the largest city in Australia, in terms of population?
   A: Melbourne. It has an estimated population of over 5.39 million people as of recent censuses and demographic projections. Sydney is a close second with approximately 5.25 million residents.
6. Q: What is the largest island in the Indian Ocean?
   A: Madagascar. It is also the world’s fourth-largest island.
7. Q: Which Pacific island nation altered its time zone to include all its islands and, as a result, became the first to see the year 2000?
   A: Kiribati. The republic took full advantage of this milestone, even temporarily renaming uninhabited Caroline Island to Millennium Island to capitalise on the massive global attention leading up to the year 2000.
8. Q: Which country has the longest international land border in the world?
   A: It’s between the United States and Canada, stretching approximately 8,891 kilometres (5,525 miles). This total includes both the long border spanning the contiguous US and the distinct boundary separating Alaska from Canada.
9. Q: Which is the smallest English ceremonial county?
   A: City of London (measuring just 1.12 square miles). However, the historic and traditional county that is commonly recognised as the smallest is Rutland, which covers 147 square miles (382 sq. km).
10. Q: Which European country has the lowest population density?
    A: Iceland. With just about 4 people per square kilometre (10 people per square mile). This low density comes from its large landmass, rugged volcanic terrain, and harsh subarctic climate, which leaves much of the interior uninhabitable.
