14 UN member states in the Oceania set.
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.

- 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. Longitudes are wrapped across 180° so Pacific island groups remain together. 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.
