Eight countries to name, two minutes to name them.

It’s been a while since we tested your knowledge of EU countries. Quizzes on the EU have been very popular with our readers and who are we to deny you of your desires?

Ever since the United Kingdom left, 27 countries now make up the EU. Of the 27, only eight of them have a smaller population than the Republic of Ireland according to Worldometers.info.

As of the last Census in 2016, the population of the Republic of Ireland is a little under 4.8 million (4,757,976 to be precise). More recent estimates suggest it’s now closer to 4.9 million people, so we make it that there are still eight other countries in the EU with a smaller population than us.

We want you to name all eight EU countries in two minutes or less.
