Countries of the World Quiz: Click or Name the Country
Practise country locations on a Natural Earth world map. Choose the whole world or a continent, click the requested country or type the highlighted country's name, and review missed answers.
Countries of the World Quiz: Click or Name the Country: Asks each selected map entry once in a shuffled round. Small shapes have enlarged circle targets, and a country list offers a keyboard and small-country fallback in click mode. Names follow your browser's language data with an English fallback; English answers also work in typing mode. The quiz follows Natural Earth's default admin-0 set, which includes map entries that are not independent countries and omits some very small countries at this scale. Runs 100% locally in your browser with zero server file uploads.

The map follows Natural Earth's default admin-0 set. Small shapes have circle targets and a country-list fallback. At 1:110m some very small countries are absent; the quiz asks only about entries in this map. English names are also accepted when typing.
Map source and licence
Natural Earth admin-0 countries, 1:110m, default dataset. https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/110m-cultural-vectors/110m-admin-0-countries/ . All Natural Earth vector and raster map data are in the public domain: https://www.naturalearthdata.com/about/terms-of-use/ . This quiz follows the source's default admin-0 set.
Names and scale
Country names use ISO region codes and the browser's localised display names where available, with Natural Earth English names as a fallback. Entries without a suitable ISO code retain the source name. At this scale very small countries may be absent, so the country count differs from a list of sovereign states.

- Choose a continent, answer mode and round length, then start the quiz.

Frequently asked questions
Does this include every country?
It uses Natural Earth's default 1:110m admin-0 map, about 177 entries. Some microstates are too small to appear at this scale. The quiz asks only about map entries, without adding or removing disputed entries.
How do I click a small country?
Small map shapes have circle targets. Open the country list in click mode if a shape remains hard to select or if you prefer a keyboard.
Can I type English names on another language page?
Yes. The localised display name and Natural Earth's English name are accepted. Accents, punctuation and letter case are ignored.
How is the score counted?
Each question allows one answer. Skipping counts as a missed question. The timer continues during feedback and stops after the final answer. Review lists the missed country, your answer and the accepted name.
