Countries of the World Quiz

Hey Quiz Master! The correct short name of the Republic of The Gambia is The Gambia, the natives make sure to say this "The". You should fix it :) (They say that just Gambia sounds too much like Zambia, therefore it should be called The Gambia instead making it the only country with an article in the oficial short name) Also, Swazilands name has recently changed to eSwatini, and now we are supose to call it eSwatini, so it should display eSwatini at least. And keep up on November 4. because there will be held a referendum about the independence of the New Caledonia. There could be a brand new country for the quiz!!!

My professor in college always said "The Gambia." She was born there and taught West African Politics.

New Caledonia voted against independence, thankfully :) Vive la France!

Nobody calls Lebanon 'The Lebanon'.

Average scores in the sprint versions of this quiz: 15 Seconds: 11 countries; One Minute: 29 countries; Five Minutes: 142 countries.

Curious why Barbuda works but not Tobago, Nevis, Grenadines, or Herzegovina. Don't think Barbuda is any more common a name for Antigua & Barbuda than any of the other examples.

It's because of the way the system works, automatic simplified responses can be limited to the first word. The author can change that or remove it, but if he doesn't, that's what happens. Try creating a quizz and you'll see.

Hello Quizmaster and other JetPunkers. I am not commenting to correct an error, but instead to understand something on this site. How do you put a quiz you have made into the tag that it fits in? For example, I created a Geography General Knowledge Quiz, but it is not in the Geography General Knowledge tag. I do not know how to put it there. If this is a thing that users can do, it should be made more obvious how. If it is only something Quizmaster can do, I would like to suggest that it be made possible for users.

thats bull mate cote d'ivoire works

Got them all finally. With 9:16 left. Whew. I would say that is pretty good considering... I'm 13

Good job. I'm 12, and I did it with 8:57 left, so I suppose I'm almost on equal ground with you.

OMG, I am definitely done now. 10:03 remaining. Dont exactly know how, but I got through like 100 of them before I made a typo. Unbeknownst to many of you, it really speeds things up when you don't make typos. Lol😂

Lol, also just read some of the other comments. Definitely did not realize that I beat some other guy out by 1 second. XD -shoutout to #Photop

Thank you #NitroType and #Typing.com, for such good structured lessons on typing. Just got 11:37. Please do not tell me I have to improve on this... Please? Oh lol, just noticed someone got 11:11(Maybe. I cannot tell if it is a joke or not), but I beat them out anyways. Still, if it is true, Shoutout to #RPHXX

ahhh i missed the hardest country to get https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/250835739539931136/516645597877501962/unknown.png

Swaziland has been renamed Eswatini - can this be changed

If Taiwan and Kosovo are present in this quiz, the Palestinian territories should also be present. A grey space around Israel makes the quiz look unfinished.

I'm 12 and I finished with 9:33 left

can you add like two more minutes to the quiz

Beat my high score, I'm 15 and got 6:57 let's go!!!

9:39 remaining, my best score. Still working on it.

6:53 pretty bad but working

quizmaster you are wrong as in wrong buddy

there is a country you missed which was one of the key players in world war 3

Just a friendly comment quizmaster, but why do you use Wikipedia always when there are reliable websites like Britannica? (not saying you should not use Wikipedia). Thanks

Isn't Britannica just the British Wikipedia?

Jeryy928 I appreciate your quizzes a lot

I learned loads of new countries

Prepare for the 197th country (possibly). The island of Bougainville (currently PNG) is going to hold an independence referendum in June!

all of them with 4:01 min left being french,I'm pretty proud right now x)

happy new year!

Got monaco with one second left! 🙃😀

No! I forgot Monaco and Singapore... it's always the small ones that get me

Easy, 6:16 left

Right click for your computer to suggest the correct spelling

188/196 I know them all, I just didn't know how Bahrain, Equatorial Guinea, Central Africa, Philippines, Ukraine and Solomon were typed in English, since I'm from Nicaragua adm I forgot Malta and San Marino

Yes I completed it 0:40 seconds left but im only 10 :)

I finished it with 5:26 left

Welcome to North Macedonia

Macedonia is changing its name to North Macedonia

It is North Macedonia now right?

As of today, it is!

heart this comment just for the sake of it

Nobody did it

I have an interesting challenge, sort of a geographic hexathalon. You need to do all these quizzes in order, in an hour. I had a time of 36 minutes and 33 seconds but could be much improved without typos and an increased typing speed. I would be interested to see what other people can do and suggestions for extra rounds or rules for the challenge.

Please check out my quiz where I guess what US State you're thinking of: Quiz.

It's North Macedonia from now on...!

I'm so close to knowing every country and where they are located!

You can do it!

Macedonia changed its name to North Macedonia

@Quizmaster, are there any official leaderboards for this quiz? Like top 1000?

If you are a Kdrama fan then please take a look at my quiz https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/277556/guess-the-last-kdrama-the-actor-has-done Thank you

FINALLY beat my old record. Finished with 10:18 left.

Update: 10:24 left

Lies

Probably not a lie. My best is 8:35 remaining. If shiny is a fast typist, I don't see why they couldn't get 10:24 remaining.

Just out of interest, what criteria is used to define what is a country, other than 'has to be a sovereign state...'?

When did Macedonia become Northern Macedonia?

New best, 7:15 remaining.

Finally beat it in half the time. 7:31

at 3:30 i got all the countries except one, so i kept searching. Then it turned out i forgot liechtenstein. Now i did it with 51 seconds left.

196/196 and im still in my mothers womb lel ez

I'm 11 and I go 75 correct geez how do u do this I want to get the world badge help

Just go continent by continent. Start with whichever you think is easiest and look at a map of it, memorizing section by section. Take the countries by continent quizzes and when you have mastered one continent, go onto the next one. Take the quizzes of the continents you have already memorized to make sure you don't forget. If you do this, you will be able to memorize all the countries. It worked for me, and I'm 12. After that you can try to memorize capitals and other things like that.

No one cares about your age, if you finished 196/196 good for you

So happy! Got all 196 countries with 0:36 seconds left. I was missing one country and I finally new what it was, it was Rwanda. This is a great quiz QuizMaster! It is a way to practice your brain through geography. Awesome!

got all with 14:13 left!!

It is physically impossible, so you must be joking.

done with 6:17 left

i think there should be a shortern form for solomon islands and marshall islands because thats too long, also it should accept incorrect spellings phillipenes or philippenes for phillipines

187/196, forgot Syria, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Qatar, Monaco, Brunei, East Timor & Sao Tome and Principe

I dont know if its my third try here, but i did 192 i forgot : COSTA RICA ??? Saint Lucia Saint Kitts and Nevis Barbados

Best new time is 8:51. I think i can get better I just need to get used to spelling things quickly.

Did it with 9:32 remaining yeet

Bam! I got 182/196 and I’m not even 15 years old...

Such a fun quiz! Am I the only one that types the countries in a completely random order? lol

196/196, best time so far is 10:13 remaining (completed in 4:47)

World Capitals quiz has Eswatini instead of Swaziland, this one should be the same

How do you add in a picture @Quizmaster?

I'm pretty sure you can add pictures now, there is an option for it. But back then the only way to get a picture in a quiz is if the quiz gets featured (Quizmaster would feature it if it has been played a certain amount of times (100~ or more)).

did it with 5:59 left. get recked all of yee

Will never get as fast a times as some others here due to my slow typing speed but got 100% second time around. Missed Kenya, Mozambique & Sierra Leone first time. I bet the percentages for the Oceanic countries, especially Nauru, are higher amongst Australians

Why is it I keep coming back to this one. 10:30 is my best time, and really it is just 4-5 minutes of speedtyping trying to make as few typing errors as possible. But I have done it hundreds of times now.

The %'s in the stats round down, so you will never see 100% because you missed France that 1 time. Sorry :(

2:08 left

Thanks for this quiz. It really has improved my knowledge of the world in general (after 67 years). My cousins who lived in the Dominican Republic call it the DR so that could be a change. But all is fine as it is. (I'm glad you've added Eswatini so I can learn the name.)

;)

Hey, when making a quiz, how do you change a long URL into words like 'here' or 'this link', to provide sourcing information? I tried looking it up but didn't get any solid information.

This is using standard HTML, using the "a" tag and the "href" property. You can see more about it here: JetPunk Wiki

Thanks

Grenada was the last one I needed

بسیار سخت به عنوان یک آمریکایی غیر فارسی صحبت می کند

Sadly there is not a short hand for DR.

Also, some people put swaziland but eswatini is a bit shorter too

lets gooooooooooooooo. After doing this for months and memorizing all the Caribbean, African and Oceania countries I was finally able to do it with 5:24 left

My weak spots are the Caribbean, Oceania and West Africa (the area where Liberia is)

Part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, similar to Greenland's relationship with Denmark

Me being a slow typer, I find 7:32 left a pretty good time. A little less than half time :).

Damn yall are way too fast...I was proud of my 8:34 and then I scrolled down

Using this comment to keep track of my scores: 8:49

9:02

I GOT A SUB 5 MINUTE TIME!!!! 4 months of practice

It's too dificult because I'm French I don't know the names of the countries in english

https://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/pays-du-monde

Can we add FSM for Federated States of Micronesia? Also, I know it's the same number of letters, but can we add LPDR for Laos?

My best time is around 10 minutes left. Not nearly as fast as some people, but muscle memory helps a ton :)

Happy birthday to "Countries of the World Quiz"! ☺ 8 years old! First submitted :July 14, 2011 :)

I got 165 but that's the most i've managed. It is mostly the island countries that i'm missing.

Got them all after about 2 weeks of trying and failing with 10 left. Finished With 12 Seconds Remaining!

New best! 11:14 remaining. It keeps getting so much harder to improve my time.

3 minutes and 56 seconds!

You should put the small dots to show micro countries: Vatican city

3:00 left - Not bad as a german. Used Google to translate the countries I didn't know in english with the time running (Mosambik = Mozambique... )

Only 2 left-So close

my fastest is 13:56

I, for some reason, always score a few seconds off of my best score, I need to stop typing "Afghansitan" instead of Afghanistan

I finally guessed all of them! I started only about two weeks ago... And I wasn't expecting it will be so fast... Great!

Who got all 196? I did!! comment your score

9:46 remaining. Im in advanced geography in my 4rth grade class.

I tried like 50 times to get all 196, and then my brother comes in and gets them all on his first try. So I'm taking over and learning the capitals instead.

I can finally comment :)
