Name All Countries
Type country names as fast as you can. You have 10 minutes to name all countries. Both local and English names are accepted.
FAQ
There are 197 countries: 193 United Nations member states plus Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo, and Taiwan (recognition varies). This quiz uses 197 as the standard count.
Naming 50-60 countries is average. Getting 100+ is impressive, and naming all 197 requires serious geographic knowledge. Most people miss small island nations and lesser-known African countries.
Small island nations (Kiribati, Tuvalu, Nauru), Central African countries (Burkina Faso, Eswatini), and Central Asian countries (Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan) are among the most commonly missed.
About this test

How It Works
Type country names as fast as you can. Each correctly named country fills in on the world map. You have 10 minutes to name as many as possible.
Strategy
Most people start with their own region, then work through continents systematically. The hardest countries to remember are small nations with unfamiliar names.
Tips
- Go continent by continent to be systematic
- Remember island nations last — they are easy to forget
- Spelling must be close enough for recognition
- Do not waste time on countries you cannot remember — keep moving
