Nation of Zox
Abbievate islands to last letter i.e. Zod=D
Populations given:
75,150,250,175,
Last island must be
750-650=100
Place D at largest,
P at 175 since it's 100+smallest,
B at 150 since it's 1.5x 100
?=75,?=100,B=150,P=175,D=250
Leaving G and Z, but Z can't be smallest so,
G=75,Z=100,B=150,P=175,D=250
Answer:
Zod=250
Zop=175
Zob=150
Zoz=100
Zog=75
