1. This "K" nation is roughly four-and-a-half times larger than its closest rival.

Answer: Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan, a former republic in the USSR, gained independence in 1991. It is the largest landlocked nation in the world--larger in area than all of Western Europe. However, it is sparsely populated and culturally diverse, with over 130 ethnicities represented.

2. Of the nations beginning with the letter "L", which is the largest in area? It represents about 1.2% of the world's total land area.

Answer: Libya

With a rich and fascinating cultural history, about 90% of the population lives along the Mediterranean coast. The Libyan Desert inland can go decades without rain.

3. There are many large "M" nations, but which one is the largest?

Answer: Mexico

By area, Mexico ranks 15th in the world, Mongolia 19th, Mali 24th, and Mauritania 29th. Monaco is the second smallest independent nation. At 1.95 kilometers squared, it is still almost 4.5 times larger than Vatican City. With a 2010 estimated population of 111 million, Mexico is also the most populous Spanish speaking nation.

4. The two largest nations beginning with "N" are neighbors. The largest is one of the most impoverished countries and is mostly covered by the Sahara desert.

Answer: Niger

Eighty percent of the landmass of Niger is part of the Sahara. Its largest export is uranium.

5. Of the following nations beginning with the letter "P", which has the greatest landmass?

Answer: Peru

China is also listed as People's Republic of China, but in this quiz we listed it under the "C" category. Excluding China, Pakistan would actually rank second, but since it has such a large amount of disputed territory, it was left out of this quiz. Peru is the home of Machu Picchu, possibly the most famous Incan archeological site.

6. This one might be a "gimme". What is the largest "R" nation by landmass?

Answer: Russia

At over 17 million kilometers squared, Russia is the largest nation in the world, representing about 11.5% of the world's land. For its size, Russia was only the ninth most populous nation in 2010. It spans nine time zones.

Answer: Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia ranges over 2,149,690 sq km or 830,000 sq miles. Saudi Arabia is the largest Middle Eastern nation and the largest "S" country. Previously the largest "S" country was Sudan but that changed in 2011 with Sudan splitting into two after a referendum. South Sudan split from Sudan, becoming an independent nation.

8. You may be surprised by which nation beginning with the letter "T" has the largest landmass. This nation's workforce is approximately 80% agricultural and includes much of the Serengeti Plain.
