If you start in America, and work to the right--guessing more people are here and we read to the right in English--the last you come to is Oceania, so when you run out of time, that's undone--adding to lower numbers for Oceania. We all probably spent time working up to having them all memorized too, so what's undone is what's last as you think and think... These are typing races for those of us who never really typed (not enough classes if you were college prep in my day). So, although I'm getting closer when I practice, I sure have pulled down Oceania's ratings!

nauru should be excluded. it doesnt have a capital yaren district isnt a capital but a district...and a quarter of naurus land area.

Gamer1162

Why? Most of the government buildings are in Yaren, so it's practically its capital.

Jerry928

From Wikipedia: Yaren is usually listed as the capital of Nauru though this is incorrect; the republic does not have cities or an official capital. Yaren is accepted by the United Nations as the "main district".

Aesthus

Sep 20, 2017

Vatican City is four quarters of its country's area. Last I checked size relative to the country doesn't have anything to do with ability to be the capital. It's just that Nauru is really, really small.

168. Also didn't cheat. I got Kingstown by luck because it was a type-in for Kingston. And yes, YOLO, except not according to a video that said a boy once said "in my past life I was murdered by an ax". The boy brought his family to a village and said "this is where it happened". It turned out there had recently been a murder there with an ax, and the village officials had not found the culprit. The boy gave a description of the man, and he was found. The man confessed to committing the murder. So maybe you don't always live once.

Yaren isn't the capital of Nauru, only the location of parliament and largest settlement.

Distinct lack of Ramallah. Of all your 'Worlds' quizzes and all the disputed territories you include as sovereign nations, it really sticks out that you choose not to put in Palestine. *Other* quiz sites do...just saying.....

Aesthus

level 52

Aug 24, 2017

That's because Quizmaster is of the belief that Palestine isn't a country. And I heartily agree. It would be fine if they had just taken one of Israel's five attempted two-nation systems, but no.

Thomas739945

level 15

Jan 28, 2018

This creator is probably from the United States and the United States does not recognize Jerusalem as Palestine's capital. The US recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Palestine claims East Jerusalem as the capital while Israel does not recognize Palestine therefore recognizing all of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

amgine

level 56

Jul 2, 2017

There are not 196 "nations". What this quiz deals with is sovereign states. The "United Nations" is also a misnomer. The Kurds are a nation, so are the Inuit, Tatars, Tibetans, as well as German, Irish, Greek and Japanese. Conversely Vatican City citizens do not constitute a nation. Somewhat grey area, but contemporary usage is way off.

markasol

level 62

Jul 8, 2017

There are 193 UN members and 206 effectively sovereign states plus one sovereign entity. This quiz takes the UN members and adds the Vatican (a UN observer), Taiwan (an ex-UN member) and Kosovo (recognised by over half the UN membership). The remaining 10 are more controversial, either lacking recognition (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, South Ossetia, Somaliland and Ashkelia) or not being fully sovereign despite having some UN recognition (Cook Islands, Palestinian Territories, Niue). The entity is the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta - which is a UN observer!!!

Thomas739945

level 15

Jan 28, 2018

The creator is probably from the US and all of the countries in the map are countries that are recognized by the US. Kurdistan is not recognized in the US along with Tibet and a lot of other ones.

Can I respectfully request that the time be extended by a minute or two. This should be a test of knowledge not typing speed. As a two finger typist I just can't complete them all in time. For the periodic table of elements (118 elements) you get 12 minutes, which I can do with a minute to spare. Here there are 196 answers required in 12 minutes also (3.6 seconds per answer). I think 5 seconds per answer would be more reasonable.

Keep practicing. You get quicker bit by bit. I used to run out of time but I've just done it with 2 mins to spare. I'm also now a much better typist! Try bunching things together. For example, there are 6 "Ports" so just rattle these off. And just typing "Ouagad" and "Kotte" and "Bandar" etc works.

Switzerland is not in the EU or the Eurozone. They are still in Europe. The correct way to define this kind of thing is by geographical location, and Cyprus lies closer to Asia than to Europe.

I lost seconds on misspellings and had to see which city I missed which took a good 8 seconds to find I forgot to fill in Ankara Turkey. This is a great quiz for extending those brain cells and hand eye coordination! Not bad for a 62 year old.

I know all the capitals by heart. Obviously when I'm running through them I can have brain farts and it takes me a second. Still, I know them pretty well. And I finished this with 9 seconds left. Part of the goal of things like this is to learn. Hard to learn when you don't have time to practice retrieving the information. This is a typing quiz, because there is no way anyone who doesn't already know the capitals cold gets through it. Let people work on their memory aids and take a breath between each one. Just my opinion.

So it would seem. Bandar I sort of understand as it really is Bandar Seri Bagawan, but Kotte is universal. Also, Riyad is accepted without the H (Riyadh) and so Vientian without the E (Vientiane). I think this was a bad update.

CHISINAU no longer works - what has happened? When the answers come up, it is 'Chișinău', so it is now necessary to type in the special 's' and 'a' characters (I don't have those on my keyboard)? Out of curiosity, I tried the Europe Capitals Quiz and the same problem happened but, I left this quiz open on a separate tab and, when Chisinau wouldn't work, I copied and pasted the answer from this quiz onto the Europe quiz and it worked... For those who may be worried, I wasn't cheating as I've completed both quizzes multiple times and only doing some investigative work...

Oceania, the Caribbean, parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, and even the Balkans for a time gave me trouble. But not anymore. I tried to guess them all in order, which proved not possible for Oceania and Africa; however, I still got most of them in order, and guessed Zimbabwe's capital last as I intended. I almost forgot Mali's capital but remembered it after about twenty seconds of thought. This is a great quiz! There should be a badge for not just getting all the countries of the world, but all the capitals and flags as well.

Astana was renamed Nursultan.

LincolnIsTheBestOne

level 35

Mar 20, 2019

promastermage is correct, this happened following the resignation of their longtime (29 years) president yesterday (whom I had never heard of until I saw this on Wikipedia's current events portal), which prompted Kazakhstan's government to rename their capital in his honor. That's quite a few name changes in the past few months, isn't it? First Swaziland and Macedonia change their names a little, then Burundi relocates its capital, then this happens.

Moos1005

level 65

Mar 20, 2019

Since it has already spread that Kazakhstan is renaming their capital to Nursultan this comment is rather pointless. However, I'd like to suggest something for the interesting facts category. The former name the city had since 1998, Astana, literally means "capital city" in Kazakh.
