I got down to Congo (next to last in second row) before I couldn't identify the "country" from its outline. Then Mongolia (last blue country in third row). Yes, I did get Kazakhstan because I knew it was large and had to be close to the top (although I hadn't realized 10th in this list). And Sudan was tricky because of its recent separation from South Sudan.
It does help identification after realizing that they are color-coded by "continent":
green: Europe
purple: Antartica
blue: Asia
grey: North America
red: South America
pink: Australia & the south Pacific
orange: Africa
with Russia being considered as part of Europe (sure, population-wise and historically, but since the focus is on land area I would have put Russia in Asia).
