    Very high sheep here, and a very popuular incorrect answer. Wiki describes Monte Carlo as an administrative district. An excellent ace from Homer though.

    I think this round is my best attempt at even slightly less than obvious - so it will probably sheep ;) - I actually know of a lot more of them than I could muster just looking at the country names on the fly (even ones like Gaborone) :D

    Papua New Guinea is the most linguistically diverse country in the world with 839 living languages in use. The most widely used is Tok Pisin which is an English based creole language.

    Sudan used to be the biggest country in Africa until it was split in to South Sudan (now title lies with Algeria).

    Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean as well as the 17th largest island in the world.

    The highest point of the Kingdom of Netherlands is Mount Scenery at 887m, which is located on the island of Saba in the Caribbean (thank you QI!)

    Watched an interesting video on this place not so long ago. Turkmenistan is basically a Soviet North Korea (only fancier looking), complete with batshít insane leader with cult of personality. The city is built with white marble but very sparsely populated so seems empty a lot of the time.
