Trace the Coast of Europe with a Map

Starting from the top right corner, trace the outline of the European continent anticlockwise by correctly naming each country along the way.

External territories and micronations are included!

We are considering the Caspian Sea to be a lake, and therefore irrelevant to this quiz

This was fun, nice job. But shouldn't Georgia be included since the Europe-Asia border runs through it?

+14

Level 70

Jun 8, 2020

Thank you! I've seen maps that split Georgia between the continents but I believe it's just as correct to draw the line at the border with Russia.

+24

Level 73

Jun 8, 2020

Nevermind, it seems I was wrong anyway. The Caucasus Mountains extend into southern Russia, meaning that although parts of northern, inland Georgia can be classified as European the entire coastline is definitely Asian.

Level 76

Jun 8, 2020

Yes, I think so. And also, shouldn't there be more to-ing and fro-ing between Netherlands and Belgium?

+18

Level 70

Jun 8, 2020

The bottom bit of Zealand is seperated by a river entering Belgium, but I don't believe rivers should count as coastline.

+19

Level 75

Jun 9, 2020

Excellent! One small suggestion: give borders alternating colours so you can see the different countries forming the coastline. Or actually even better would be if eg France's coastlines have the same colour etc

Level 70

Jun 9, 2020

Cheers! I do quite like that idea, although I cannot implement it now, as the borders are coloured in altogether, based on whether or not the answer is correct (rather than individually through their ID).

Level 75

Jun 10, 2020

I see. if I remember correctly I managed to get around this problem this way: have the 'coloured borders' always visible but covered by 'white borders' which correspond to answers and become invisible when guessed - see this quiz

Level 66

Aug 28, 2020

Thanks to the Curonian and Vistula spits, the coastline goes Lithuania / Russia / Lithuania / Russia / Poland / Russia / Poland (although this requires passing through two lagoons).

Level 70

Dec 20, 2020

I'm not planning on including that thus far, both for simplicity's sake and also I'm not sure where to draw the line on what constitutes a coastline.

Level 56

Sep 3, 2020

If you mind not, can I make something similar, but with Afro-Eurasia?

Level 70

Sep 3, 2020

Go ahead!

Level 56

Thanks :)

You're very welcome!

I love this quiz, and GeoPhilia's one is excellent too!

Level 70

Dec 21, 2020

Thank you! And I have to agree with you, I'm a big fan of GeoPhilia's Afro-Eurasia quiz :D

Damn, Russia's everywhere :|

Level 70

Dec 3, 2020

Russia is truly omnipresent.

Level 51

5 of them :)

Level 87

Dec 28, 2020

Crimea is part of Ukraine not Russia. Russia is illegally occupying it. A significant majority of the world's countries have made it clear that they recognise that Crimea is a part of Ukraine.

Level 70

Dec 28, 2020

Russia currently has control over the Crimean peninsula (as well as de facto control over parts of Eastern Ukraine). I am still not sure where Jetpunk gets their maps from, but the source seems to value depicting actual control over specific regions, rather than honouring sentiments (this goes for the Crimean situation as well as the border dispute in Kashmir, among other minor disputes). I agree with this, to the point in which I have drawn dotted lines to represent other territories such as Abkhazia or North Cyprus which are outside of the authority of the countries which the international community agrees as controlling said territory.

+17

Level 70

Dec 28, 2020

That being said, if you wish you can simply type 'Ukraine' three times to complete its coastline on the Black Sea. You are never forced to type 'Russia' in order to complete Crimea.

Level 72

Like Beetlejuice!

Level 68

Mar 8, 2021

sorry bro but in crimea russian is spoken and russian flags are flown. people wanted to be russian, thats a fact. before stalin arbitrarily changed the border it was russian. sorry bro i am not even russian but its a fact.

+13

Level 51

Jul 6, 2021

it is not compliant with the international law though.

With that reasoning Nazi Germany's annexation of the "Sudetenland/Czechoslovakia" would have been ok, too since mostly Germans were living there and they wanted to become part of the German Reich.

This is really not how it works.

+10

Level 64

Jul 26, 2021

That's not to mention that the "people wanted to be Russian" thing was determined through an illegally organised referendum where Russian military personel with loaded rifles stood outside each polling station. Hardly the ideal setup for a true representation of people's preferences.

Level 38

Sep 20, 2021

funny thing that I met a girl from Crimea when I lived in Poland and she says russians are occupying her homeland and she is saving money to relocate her mother to Poland as well... maybe that's the reason why people speak russian there and russian flags are seen, because normal people ran away from aggressors

Level 49

Jan 19, 2023

This did not age well with all the new light that's been shown on that "referendum"

Level 55

Apr 25, 2023

Russia annexed Crimea and is in control of it. I'm not promoting Russia's annexation, but Crimea is Russian.

Level 68

Jan 2, 2021

Hey Jiaozira, probably shouldn't ask it here, but is it possible if I could make a series of quizzes similar to the above? I would love to make more map quizzes of such :D

Level 70

Jan 2, 2021

Of course! Anyone can do what they wish with this idea. I look forward to seeing what you come up with :)

Level 68

Thank you! I will try to do my best :)

Yeah, George Washington is probably glad that the UK isn't in this quiz.

Thanks to you too, your Afro-Eurasian quiz is what reignited interest in this quiz, too :)

Congrats on it getting featured!

Thank you once more GeoPhilia :)

Level 55

That was a nice idea. Excellent quiz!

Level 70

Jan 23, 2021

Thank you!

Level 85

Jan 25, 2021

Fun! Suggestion: in the directions make it clear that we're going counterclockwise. Maybe that was obvious to everyone else, but it took me a moment to catch on to that.

Level 70

Jan 25, 2021

I have added to the description. I want all of my quizzes to be as straighfowards as possible, so comments like this are very helpful to me. Thank you :)

Level 84

Jan 25, 2021

It would also be helpful to specify how you're dividing Europe and Asia. No matter what you decide, people will complain - but most cartographers draw the line north of Georgia and Azerbaijan, through the Caspian Sea, and include a small chunk of westernmost Kazakhstan.

Level 70

Jan 25, 2021

Perhaps I will solve this with a caviat specifying the Caspian Sea is considered a lake here. I do agree that the Northeastern bit of Kazakhstan is European though I hope any other definition will be clear to people when the quiz stops at Russia (rather than Georgia, that is).

Level 63

Jan 26, 2021

It's so satisfying when a new line appears. :D Great quiz.

Level 73

Jan 26, 2021

Each time the coast moved on, no matter how short the move, I loved it; great quiz.

Level 70

Jan 26, 2021

Thank you, and thank you! There are a lot of 'name the countries' quizzes on Jetpunk and I wanted to go for a different feel this time round :)

Level 71

May 13, 2021

I made a quiz that follows a kinda similar format. Not nearly as complex as this one, but still pretty satisfying in my opinion. I'd love if it people would check it out here! (And if you have any suggestions/advice on my quiz Jiao I'd love to hear it!)

Level 64

Jan 26, 2021

Really inspired one!

Thanks!

Level 70

Jan 26, 2021

Thank you, I'm glad you think so :)

Level 78

Jan 31, 2021

Dang! Russia is everywhere! You almost got me with having to list Croatia twice. ;)

Level 83

Feb 7, 2021

Fun quiz. Would be epic to do a combined Africa-Eurasia version.

Level 70

Feb 8, 2021

GeoPhilia has you covered :)

Level 66

Feb 8, 2021

Gibraltar?

Level 70

Feb 8, 2021

Gibraltar is already included, if that's what you mean.

Level 75

Feb 15, 2021

I wonder if "UK" should be accepted for Gibraltar.

Level 70

Feb 15, 2021

'UK' has always been accepted for Gibraltar.

Level 56

May 18, 2022

Funny how many people comment these things then don't actually try them

Level 37

Feb 16, 2021

Nice!

Level 70

Feb 16, 2021

Thank you!

Level 77

Mar 2, 2021

What a fantastic quiz. Once I got my directions right it was mainly straightforward. There is a bit of a trap in the Spain part, but I got it :)

Level 70

Mar 2, 2021

I'm glad you think so! It can take a moment to get going on these sorts of quizzes, so I hope I've given enough time for people to find their bearings.

Level 61

Mar 3, 2021

Great quiz, really enjoyed it

Level 70

Mar 3, 2021

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Level 66

Mar 8, 2021

The Dutch coastline really looks decidedly odd to me. Noord Holland, in particular, seems to have been shaved completely off the continent. I can find Europe outline images on Google that look exactly like the map that's been used here. But I can also find lots and lots of better ones...

Level 70

Mar 8, 2021

All country shapes have been taken from the (previous) standard Jetpunk map of Europe, which in turn is taken from NaturalEarth.

Level 22

Mar 8, 2021

Can you please remove Gibraltar because it is not a country

Level 70

Mar 8, 2021

Gibraltar under control of the United Kingdom (and therefore it is also a type-in). I believe that all territories should be included by default on a quiz like this, unless otherwise specified, as they are part of the overall coastline.

Level 18

Mar 10, 2021

still counts as part of the coastline

Level 28

Mar 8, 2021

I love it

Now go and check out my super hard flag quiz

Finished it on the last second. It's quite tricky.

As always, thank you JWatson!

this is a good quiz.

Thanks, glad you think so :D

Level 66

Mar 8, 2021

Some Ukrainians are not gonna be happy doing this quizz

Level 70

Mar 8, 2021

Well, it is the same as both the Europe map and the World map here on Jetpunk. I should add that my decision not to go and edit the map is not influenced by personal motives or feelings.

Level 72

Mar 8, 2021

"Anticlockwise"?????????

Please change this to counterclockwise

Commonwealth English.

Level 72

Jul 2, 2022

Who are these people who object vigorously to the use of standard English?

Level 43

Mar 8, 2021

Very difficult quiz. Would be helpful if one of the answers in the middle was given, as a sort of anchor to start from if you get stuck at the start bit and the end bit imo?

Level 69

Mar 8, 2021

So creative! Thanks for this! Not too hard but much trickier than one thinks at the very outset.

Level 70

Mar 8, 2021

Thank you for the kind words. I wanted a quiz that was both accessible yet more than simply 'name the countries on the map'. I hope I found that middle ground!

Level 21

Mar 9, 2021

Wow, great Quiz! You rarely can spot a quiz like that! Just one question: how do you nominate because i would want to nominate this quiz. I really recomend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Level 70

Mar 9, 2021

Thank you, I am happy to hear that! And there is no need to nominate because it is already featured :)

Level 18

Mar 10, 2021

Russia came up like 4 times. Bosnia and Herzegovina added a sad bit of coastline...

Level 45

Apr 2, 2021

Crimea is part of Ukraine and not Russia.

Russia invaded and stole Ukrainian homeland

Level 70

Apr 2, 2021

It is occupied by Russia at the moment. The best maps depict what the situation is, not what the map creator thinks it should be.

Level 49

May 23, 2021

some exclaves are missed i think

Level 70

May 24, 2021

Which ones? The only area I am deliberately avoiding is the Vistula Spit area.

Level 57

Oct 25, 2021

Crimea is Ukrainian

Level 70

Oct 26, 2021

I'm not here to make moral decisions about who should have what.

Level 78

Apr 27, 2022

I cannot believe you considered Crimea as Russian. What is the criterion? if you are considering the formal borders recognized by international order you should put Crimea as Ukraine. This is incoherent.

Level 70

Apr 27, 2022

How can you not believe it? International recognition is never the primary factor at play on Jetpunk, otherwise Palestine would be considered a country on a majority of the quizzes and Taiwan excluded.

Level 53

Jun 1, 2022

Great quiz idea. Tragic these days (spring 2022) at the end with Russia & Ukraine war, especially from Romania - Ukraine - Russia - Ukraine (loss of Mariopol) - Russia again.

Level 35

Jun 2, 2022

Dark mode unfriendly.

Great quiz nevertheless

Level 57

Jun 15, 2022

Wouldn't it be microstates not micronations?

Level 44

Jul 1, 2022

Great quiz!

Funny how Russia is both the most and least guessed answer.

Level 46

Jul 19, 2022

Due to some strange shaped peninsulas, it should be:

Lithuania, Russia, Lithuania, Russia, Poland, Russia, Poland.

Level 76

Nov 3, 2022

Thank you for actually including Turkey in a map of Europe (at least the European portion of it).

Level 40
