Earthquakes can generally occur anywhere in the world, but most happen at plate boundaries.
No, it depends on where the country is around the world and how close it is to tectonic plates. Richer countries may suffer though because of all the buildings and the economy.
Indonesia has the most earthquakes because it's in a very active seismic zone, but Indonesia is a very large country. The country with the most earthquakes per unit area is probably Tonga or Fiji.
* China * Iraq * Japan * Iran For details of the world's worst earthquakes, see the related link.
It all depends on how big the fault is, bigger ones will cause bigger earthquakes, while smaller, or small ones may cause no earthquake at all.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.

only countries lining the borders of the crust's plates will experience earthquakes. And since these plates are so big, they cover many countries and the ones in the middle experience earthquakes the least.
All of them.

Japan is frequently affected by earthquakes. Additionally, the United States has area affected by earthquakes.
This is a tough question to answer because earthquakes occur in so many places all over the world. They are generally recorded by magnitute, death tolls, and frequency for each country, but I was unable to find a list that compiled all of the data together. For more information, please refer to the Related Link below.
Countries along the Mediterranean Sea are especially prone to earthquakes, as this region lies on several active tectonic plate boundaries, such as the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The seismic activity in this area is due to the collision of these plates, leading to frequent earthquakes.
