Enter your country and click "take quiz" to see how you do.

Most of the ones I got wrong I was in the general area but didn't get it right. :(

Hints: Use the minimap (upper left corner) to move the zoomed map. Click the little arrows beside the country name to move to the next question. I got a 0/10 on my first try because I couldn't figure out the interface. Oops. :eek:

Did you click the link to see how much you lowered our collective score? :p

Or did you sign in as some other country? :evil:

8/10, brought the USA's score up 0.01%

The small map makes it a little difficult to precisely identify the smallest countries.

edit: 9/10 on the 2nd try, brought us up another 0.01% :)

Hopefully you can narrow it down to continent.

I never knew there was a country named "Central African Republic." I guess someone got lazy.

Whee... :D

10/10 on my 5th try -- got Greece, Kenya, Nicaragua, Iran, Norway, Liechtenstein, Fiji, Bolivia, Cyprus, and Belarus. Admittedly not the hardest run, but still cool.
