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.

MIKE

Yes, pronounced nigh-ger

 

[amish]

i brought down USA's score by .01%

 

[Vic]

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%

My first try they gave me all hard stuff. The second try was much easier.

 

[StageLeft]

Damn! That is hard.

 

[brtspears2]

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