Both walrus81 and Mark in Oshawa guessed four correct, fly_ac was the only one to guess Austria correctly so fight it out amoungst yourselves as to who sets the next Q ;)
Since I am new to this, let me give it a go......
A little bit of trivia that I will toss out there. In all the nations, and their parts ( provinces and states), there is only ONE flag (state or province or national flag) that has a Union Jack on it that is part/or is NOT a nation of the British Commonwealth.
So a flag of an area with a Union Jack that has no connection AT all to the British Commonwealth.
PS I am shocked the Czechs were not in the top 5, my god they have good beer!!!! As for Canada not being there, well we have to choose, Crown Royal or Canadian beer? mmmmm I will have a Guinness while I think about it!!!

The eight alternating white, red and blue stripes represent the eight islands of Hawaii. The British Union Jack represents Hawaii's historical relationship with Great Britian as its protectorate. It also represents a stylized puela (a triangular standard laying across two crossed spears called an alia) which is the symbol of the Hawaiian ali'i.
Good show!
(Good question, too, Mark!)
Schmeke you nailed it. Hawaii never was part of Britain in any way, but it was "discovered" by Capt. Cook. I guess the Royal family of Hawaii adopted the Union Jack, and for whatever reason, they kept it after the Americans took over....figures a Canadian would get that question!!! You Yanks should know these things!!!
Thanks Mark. Don't be so hard on the Yanks... I vaguely remember a similar question here recently... ;) .
O.k., I think this may also have been previously asked but I can't think up of a decent Q right now... :mark: ...
Although the U.S. is the world's largest importer of coffee, it is not even close to being one of the top 5 per-capita coffee consuming nations. Name them (data as of 2001).
1.- Sweden
2.- Luxembourg
3.- Colombia
4.- Belgium
5.- Netherlands
total guessing
