Countries of the World Quiz

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

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

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?

I am not saying that your sentiments are not valid; however, I disagree. JetPunk is supposed to be a worldwide quizzing website, reflecting the world view of geography. Wikipedia is the most popular information site in the world, much more so than Britannica or any other. While Wikipedia is a worldwide encyclopedia, Britannica is a British one, even refrencing its nationality in its name. Though Britannica is often considered more credible because it does not allow public editing anywhere, it in turn is also less reliable because it only tells facts from one perspective. Despite this, Wikipedia's pages are even more heavily curated than Britannica's to prevent incorrect information from reaching public minds, and many of the most important pages are not open to public editing. Though Wikipedia certainly has problems, it is the easiest, most global, and most expansive site that could be used for this information. Apologies if my reply was overly defensive, long, or formal.

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!

98% voted yes for independence!

Another 2 possible new countries are New Caledonia and a region of Micronesia called Chuuk, both are holding referendums 2020 I think

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

Why not take the french version of the quiz?

happy new year!

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

just click on "show missing countries"

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... )

just do the german version

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!

You're 10 years old and have visited 84 countries wtf

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

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

Cool. But do you really have to be in "Advanced" to know stuff? I mean plenty of people haven't skipped grades and are still smart. Just my opinion. But good job, @wolverineinohio. ] Please check out my quizzes too!

11:38 remaining

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.

https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/1257878/countries-of-asia

I can finally comment :)

11:38 :)

90, 7th try <3

Where is Palestine?

oof

I made a quiz where you have to guess between to countries which one is bigger. How high can you score? Please try my quiz: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/160326/which-country-is-bigger

Will you be adding Bougainville before the year is out I wonder?!

I don't think independence will actually be granted this year, though the result of the vote will be announced this year. My understanding is that PNG will have to agree and it could take a while to sort out.

Day before yesterday I got this badge so I got all the countries in 1:00

They should just shade it black, like Palestine.

Nice Quiz! Probably my favourite, there are so many countries!

I'm 15 and have been working to get a sub 5 minute - got a 5:37 today but still gotta work on the speed

196/196 with 9:23 left.

Best time is 8:58, I always forget about Sierra Leone, however.

That used to be one of the easiest ones for me to forget so I looked it up and read about it so I would have some sort of fact in my mind to remember. Did the same with Malawi (which is nearly 50% a lake)!

Oh! 110 and I am 10 years old! Is that good? I am actually really proud of that.

*bougainville has entered the chat room*

heard about that nation, that might become independent. Right in the Bismarck archipelago, right?

Exactly. Looking foward to see them here... and soon reaching to the 200th country of the world!

This quiz was awesome

You guys should try the quiz, Easy Quick Math

Oof this took really long to finish all w/ 100%! Great quiz tho, finished w/ like a second left. I was internally freaking out like 'Oh gosh not gonna make it, not gonna make it!' Then I typed in the last one just before the timer went out. Uhhh... never gonna take this quiz again. Too stressful lol. It's a really good quiz tho, and I feel accomplished. Also, I'm the only one of my friends who knows all of the countries of the world lol -lilipop

It probably has been discussed before, though I can't find it, but what exactly is your reasoning to not include Palestine, but Kosovo and Taiwan on this website? I know countries are not always easy to define, but I find it difficult to come up with arguments where Palestine would rank lower than the other two, e.g. it has more UN recognitions.
