Good idea. Done.
Though I say I like old logo one better...

Unfortunately Survs.com do not offer pre-made dropdowns for countries.
It offers a way to provide answers for a question by copy'n'paste of a plain
text file, for example with list of countries.
Coming up with correct list of countries is not easy, as I wrote:

Though perhaps I make it harder that it really is:
$ perl -MLocale::Country -e 'print join "\n", all_country_names();'

Fixed question numbers, removed unnecessary and not useful note about
"weighted average".

Thanks!
