About this selection54 places included

54 UN member states in the Africa set. Flag designs follow the locally stored flag-icons 7.6.0 artwork.

How this set is defined

Country quizzes use the 193 UN member states. The Holy See and the State of Palestine are non-member observer states and are not included. Each member appears in one regional set: Russia and Cyprus are in Europe; Türkiye, the Caucasus states and Kazakhstan are in Asia. North America includes Central America and the Caribbean. These groupings define the quiz, not a position on statehood or disputed borders.

Not included

  • The Holy See (UN non-member observer State)
  • The State of Palestine (UN non-member observer State)
  • Other non-member entities
  • Dependent territories as separate answers

Map and keyboard help

Tab to a place, then press Enter or Space to select it. With a place focused, use the arrow keys to pan, + and − to zoom, and 0 to reset the view.

For small places, use the named list instead of trying to tap the outline.

Identifying a highlighted shape or a flag requires seeing the image. For map questions with named text choices, choose Find a named place.

Generalized Natural Earth geography; public domain. Coordinate projection is an equirectangular study view with standard-parallel scaling. Boundaries are not a political-status claim. Small or unrepresented polygons use explicitly marked representative points. Use the text list as an equivalent answer method.

Dots help you find small places. They mark a location, not the full outline or size of a place.

Study this set

Look at the overall pattern before the details: bands, a cross, a star or another emblem. Then check where each color appears.

Compare flags you confuse side by side. Shared colors may be less useful than their order or the position of a symbol.
