About this quiz
Ribbia counts 197 countries: the 193 members of the United Nations plus Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan. These are the top five in South America on four measures: twenty rows, filled by 8 different countries.
- Area and population are United Nations figures (2023 and mid 2025). Coastline and highest point are those of the 2025 World Factbook.
- Where two countries share a summit, both are listed with the same height.

- [1]United Nations Statistics Division. Demographic Yearbook 2023, Table 3: population, rate of change, surface area and density.

Note on the data. Area is the United Nations surface area for 2023 and population the United Nations estimate for mid 2025, both read on 3 October 2026. Land borders, land boundary lengths, coastlines and highest points are those of the CIA World Factbook in its last (2025) edition, read on 3 October 2026 from the archived copies of the agency's own field pages, parsed by script and checked to be symmetric. A border through a dependency (French Guiana, Gibraltar, Greenland, Ceuta and Melilla) or one that depends on a disputed status (Kosovo, Palestine, Western Sahara, the Golan Heights) is on a doubtful list and is never asked. Each table was computed from Ribbia's 197 countries; a country with no published figure is left out of that table, and the code checks that fifth place is clear of sixth.
