Why the counts are uneven
A country's number counts the idioms tied to that place, not everything used there. 181 of 335 carry no country at all, so an idiom everyone knows in France usually sits there rather than under France.
Quebec has been the easiest place to source from, so it is further along than the rest. The aim is the whole French-speaking world, so if you know one that is missing, send it over.
After you pick a country
Pick one and you get the collection filtered to it, with a literal translation and audio for every idiom. If you would rather guess than read, the quiz draws its questions from the same set.
