About this quiz
A minefield on the map of the world. Each country you click correctly disappears, so the map empties as you go and your landmarks vanish with it. The prompt is the capital, so you need to know whose capital it is before you can look for it. Switch to No outlines on the start panel to play without borders.
- Russia is the largest of the 197 by area and Monaco is the smallest with a published figure.
- India has the most people in the world.
