Damn I didn't realise it was timed. Trying to do all that typing on mobile was a bit slow, I only got to 80 before running out of time, and still hadn't done Europe and only started on Africa.
A bit rough they make you spell them all!
Well they have to unless they'd present you with a list of fake and real ones or something.
Oof, I used to be better. I didn't realise it was timed, and and number of them I knew but couldn't spell.
My spouse is great at these. Her only blind spots are small islands in the Pacific and some down the Caribbean chain, and half of those she knows. I would bet the farm she could hit 150 named correctly on a map without breaking a sweat. Then place their flags and name capitals.
Got 123/197 today, those tiny west African countries and pacific island nations tend to get me.
It'll get easier with time.
Unforunately.
124 before running out of time. Spent way too long trying to spell Phillipines and Liechtenstein, and ended up giving up. I think I would've ended up on 135ish maybe.
All of them and identify them all on a globe (besides island countries cause we all know that's impossible)
167/197
I've got the continents down pretty well, but the islands always get me.
- Malta was driving me nuts; couldn't think of the name.
Algeria, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Dominica, Egypt, France, Gambia, Hungary, Iran, Japan, Kazakhstan, Libya, Mongolia, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Surinam, Turkey, Uruguay, Vietnam, West Xylophone, Yemen, Zimbabwe

What countries did y'all embarassingly forget? For me: Austria, Albania, Montenegro, Cyprus, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore, Malaysia, UAE, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Peru, Colombia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Lebanon
All from memory:
Latvia, Canada, Mexico, Nigeria, Sudan, South Sudan, Congo, Egypt, South Africa, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Dominican Republic, Czechia, Australia, The United States, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland, Argentina, Peru, Cuba, UAE, Haiti, Tonga, East Timor, Liberia, Paraguay, Hondurus, Panama, Japan, China, South Korea, North Korea, Iran, Greece, Italy, Germany, Austria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Cambodia, Moldova, Romania, Ireland, Palestine, UK, Poland, and Cyprus
It's a bit of a hobby of mine, I also do lots of quizzes on jetpunk.com, so naming all countries of the world is actually very easy for me, with or without a map.
None. They’ve already got names, and in any case, I don’t think anyone would let me name any of them (which is a shame, because I’d name Mexico as New Tenochtitlan, spelling accurate of course)
