Creating a survey programmatically (or from a spreadsheet)?

Is there any straightforward way to create a survey programmatically (e.g. using python) or via a spreadsheet-based question-import format?  (Note that I’m talking about questions, not data/responses.)  To take a very silly but concrete example, imagine I had 200 countries enumerated in a spreadsheet and I wanted to create a 200-question survey where for each country, the question is: “Have you ever visited <country> (yes/no)”?  How can that be done without creating 200 questions in a survey manually? (This is rather analogous to creating HITS on Mechanical Turk from a CSV file, https://blog.mturk.com/using-csv-files-to-create-multiple-hits-in-the-requester-ui-22a25ec563dc.) I’ve explored writing a program to create a QSF file that can be imported, but it’s a pretty unfriendly format. 

Apologies if I’ve missed something obvious, but I’ve done some searching around and not found a solution. Thanks for any thoughts!
