  • How Good is Your Geography

    Can you name all 195 countries in 15 minutes? I got 155 but there were a few bizarre ones in there that I didn't think were countries. Plus the spelling let me down.

    Huh, 155 is pretty good. I guess you know your way around Central America and Oceania. I got very few in those areas.

    102 for me. I got almost the entire South America and Europe (forgot about a couple, but would have got them if the map was bigger ). I only got 15 countries in Africa, and missed quite a few in Asia as well. But my knowledge of those little islands in Oceania and Central America is somewhat lacking.

    Oh, and I had to cheat a little. I couldn't get the English spelling of Azerbaijan right without checking.

      Haven't tried, but I guess I will fail miserably.... I remember taking a similar quiz a while ago, where you had to acutally point at the countries on the map. Disturbing experience, especially in Southern America and the Ex Soviet Union

        I got 137. Central and western Africa was my main weak area.

                    With thanks to the person who posted this link on a different forum, I highly recommend these geography games.

                      104, but annoyingly missed lots of (relatively) obvious ones!
