Wouldn't it make more sense to ask country first and then generate examples? I'm from the U.S. and 10% of my examples were Bollywood actors.

I'd love to do exactly that, but right now I get my popularity stats from English-language Wikipedia pageviews, which is majority-influenced by the US but also has significant traffic from India and the UK.
If Wikipedia ever breaks down its pageview stats by country, so I can generate different quizzes per-country, that's the first thing I'll do!
