Not sure how long it's been like this, but why is Crimea listed as part of Russia? It's part of Ukraine.

Russia annexed it illegally - doesn't mean the rest of us need to accept it. According to the US govt: Crimea is part of Ukraine. Some of the countries recognising its annexation include Afghanistan and North Korea.

I get that Russia has control over it but it feels like a slap in the face to Ukraine to say that it is just part of Russia the same as Moscow or St Petersburg.

Level 60

Mar 4, 2024

If Russia has control over it - even if it was annexed illegally - it’s part of Russia. Going by your logic, we should recognize Czechoslovakia on the world map because it would be just so unfair and rude to leave them out.

Level 61

Apr 12, 2024

Not really, because the US Government does not recognize Czechoslovakia since the 90s

Level 68

Mar 5, 2024

Crimea is part of Russia

Level 56

Apr 17, 2024

You do have a good point. I think that it should be grayed out like northern India and Palestine.

But, my thoughts don't matter much.

Level 20

Best timing so far is 3:55...trying to get sub 3 at least

Level 29

Mar 10, 2024

You forgot to add Palestine to the answers list

Level 48

Mar 11, 2024

JetPunk doesn't recognize Palestine even though it's on the map. They just show it as a disputed territory.

Level 56

Apr 17, 2024

Why would he add a nonexistent country to a quiz about countries?

100% Great Quiz Quizmaster.

I've done this quiz many times before but I wasn't signed in.

That little East Timor almost got me.

Level 17

Mar 12, 2024

there isn't a palestine tho... you should add one, it is a country just as much as israel. except for that, nice quiz

Level 44

Mar 13, 2024

disputed

Level 39

Apr 17, 2024

Palestine isn't fully recognized by the UN, but then again neither are Kosovo and Taiwan

Level 44

Mar 13, 2024

Timor-Leste stalled me for 2 minutes. I see other comments talking about it. It seems to be a very forgotten nation.

Level 51

Apr 12, 2024

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.

Level 26

Mar 13, 2024

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.

Level 25

Just got 5:08 woooooo

how do you type so fast

3:03 gahhh so close to the sub 3, probably could'd gotten it but the fingers got a bit shaky during oceania when I realized my pace haha

Level 21

Mar 18, 2024

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?

Level 24

Mar 19, 2024

Kosovo and Taiwan but not Palestine?

Level 34

Apr 5, 2024

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.

Level 68

Apr 14, 2024

Palestine isn’t a territory of Israel but Taiwan is a province of China

Level 93

Apr 14, 2024

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.

Level 16

AFTER MORE THAN TEN YEARS, I FINALLY DID IT.

4:58. Under five minutes. :))))

Level 18

Mar 28, 2024

I can't believe I at least got ten minutes, but y'all with like, under five minutes, HOW TF?????

Level 50

Mar 28, 2024

Why is this so much popular than all of the others?

Level 60

Apr 4, 2024

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.

Level 24

Mar 30, 2024

hell yeah just got 7:42, waiting for a zoom meeting so i figured i could have a crack at beating my record and i did :D

Level 34

Mar 31, 2024

4:36 just after getting up... at 2:35pm... maybe i should focus on other things

Level 17

Mar 31, 2024

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.

Level 35

Apr 5, 2024

uk, usa, congo, dprk, rok, prc, car, (don't use drc, just uce congo and get 2), yeah that's all I can think of.

Level 21

Apr 2, 2024

You forgot Palestine

Level 38

Apr 4, 2024

I would like that "hellenic republic" can get accepted as answer, because it's there official name

Level 35

Apr 5, 2024

For which country?

Level 35

Apr 5, 2024

Greece. Yes, it should be there. It should definitely be there.

Level 60

Apr 7, 2024

Who’s typing that over Greece. Also, if you make an exception for one country you have to do that for all of them, and it’s just not worth it.

Level 68

Apr 9, 2024

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

Level 60

When I said every country, I didn’t mean every country

Apr 7, 2024

Does JetPunk consider Crimea a part of Russia now?

196/196 with extra time at 13 years old!

Level 34

Apr 12, 2024

just shaved off a minute. 6'30s --> 5'30s....

Level 16

Apr 14, 2024

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

Level 21

Apr 22, 2024

heres the full list of shorter ones i use:

st (name) - works for saint lucia, saint kitts and nevis, etc

car - central african republic

uk - united kingdom

dprk - north korea

rok - south korea

roc - taiwan

png - papua new guinea

fsm - micronesia

prc also works for china but i can type china fast anyway so i don't use it

Level 48

Apr 17, 2024

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

Level 60

Apr 18, 2024

Nah looks wrong to just leave Russia all green in Asia like that

Level 51

Apr 19, 2024

No, it looks right. I like to do Europe last, but then French Guiana looks weird.

Level 21

Apr 22, 2024

i do france after everything else in south america so it´s fully green

Level 22

Apr 17, 2024

4:30 100%

This is so infuriating. I want to break this.

OMG new pb 9:13 :DDD (4/18/24)

Level 51

Apr 19, 2024

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.

Level 65

Apr 21, 2024
