It was one of the few countries that I straight up didn’t know before this site. There were many where I had at least heard the name but that was it, but East Timor is one that was new.
I think a good strategy for order is starting with Canada, filling out the Americas southwards until you reach the bottom of South America. Once all of the American countries are done, you type France and get French Guiana, completing the Americas and then you just continue with Europe and finish the rest in an border based order.
6:51 - but I'm just happy that I have everything correct. Could probably go sub 6 pretty easily but for the last 3 I always have to check what micronation is missing in the list below.
May I ask what continent you start on first and how you continue your route?
Taiwan and Kosovo are both countries. Taiwan was declared independence from China in 1949 while Kosovo was declared independent from Serbia in 2008. Palestine is not technically a country since its Israeli territory, therefore it has no reason to be added to this quiz.
Taiwan is 100% self-governing, whereas Palestine doesn't even have a government. Calling Taiwan a province of China is like calling Ukraine a province of Russia, or calling Guyana a province of Venezuela.
I'm thirteen I got all 196 after a while and am working on capitals. my high score is 7:38. keep persisting and I know that anyone will be able to beat this quiz if they keep trying. Do your best!
Because someone trying to quiz themselves on their country knowledge wouldn’t type “General Knowledge Quiz #173” into the search bar, they’d type “Countries of the World Quiz.” Most of the takes on this quiz aren’t from people with accounts.
I can only get around 5:31 time usage. I don't really abbreviate much of what I type other than CAR and DRC. I don't really know that it would make all that much of a difference if I even used the shortcut. Overall this quiz has greatly expanded my knowledge of not only names, but also locations of every UN country in the world. Great resource.
Well Japan is the official name of Japan. Mongolia is the official name of Mongolia. Malaysia is the official name of Malaysia. Romania is the official name of Romania. Etc
I've had my best time at 4:58 for a year, I honestly just cant type fast enough to beat that. Will have to look into different short cuts for countries besides the obvious ones like UAE, congo,and no spaces between names. Let me know if there is a full list somewhere
The only right order:canada, usa, mexico, central america. carribean, SA (France) from that west europe uk ireland iceland scandinavia, east europe, the rest of europe, middle east, africa, central asia south east asia, oceania
I just tried this on Sporcle to compare the two. This is a way nicer experience. The names don’t clutter it up and the webpage doesn’t crash after ten countries. This is the quiz that caused me to come, and I totally forgot just how bad of an experience sporcle is. You do maybe two minutes of a quiz and then the webpage just crashes on you.
This quiz has genuinely helped my typing so much, my knowledge of the countries hasn't improved much over the past three years but my time has nearly halved down to a 5:46. I know its not great, but I'm pretty happy with it.
I've done this quiz many times before but I wasn't signed in.
That little East Timor almost got me.
