Map Quizzes
States and regions
Quizzes cover 190 independent states in seven regional groupings:
Western Europe,
Latin America,
Eastern Europe and former USSR,
Middle East,
Northern Africa,
Southern Africa, and
Asia.
This list includes all
191 members
of the United Nations
except for the United States and Canada (which you can
presumably identify on a map).
The list also includes Taiwan which is governed as an independent state
even though technically it is a territory of China.
The only entity widely recognized as an independent state not included
is the Holy See (Vatican),
which covers an area about one-third the size of the Arizona campus.
Admittedly this is a formidable list; however it is made less daunting
by the following proviso: states covering less than 3000 square miles
of territory will not be included on any quiz.
(Area figures can be found in an atlas such as Hammond's
New Comparative World Atlas. For an on-line source see the CIA's
World Factbook.
