Can you name all 45 countries of Europe?
Test your knowledge of the 45 countries in this Europe map quiz. Follow coastlines, peninsulas, and borders, then zoom in to find smaller places. There is no countdown, so you can take time to work through the map before reviewing missed answers.
How to play
- Type the name of any country in the box at the bottom of the map. Capital letters, accents and punctuation do not matter, and common alternative names are accepted.
- A correct name is accepted by itself after a short pause. It turns green on the map and is ticked off in its group below the map. A wrong name costs nothing; just keep typing.
- Use the + and − buttons to zoom in on small countries, then drag to move around. With the map selected, the + and − keys zoom and the arrow keys move it. Select a country you have named to highlight it.
- There is no timer. The game ends when you have named all 45, or press Finish at any time to end it and reveal the countries you missed.
- Your result is saved in this browser. Once enough people have played a game, the results also show how your score ranks, and you can copy or share an image of your result, or replay.
Tips for playing
Try the Nordic countries, the Baltic states, and the Balkans as smaller groups. Remember Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City. The United Kingdom is one answer in this game; England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are not scored separately.

A second pass for small states
Once the large outlines are filled, look along the boundaries of their neighbours for small states. A label or click target is not required: typing the name is enough even when the feature is barely visible.
The Nordic countries, Baltic states and Balkans provide useful smaller recall groups. Keep the game’s country list in mind: a familiar constituent nation or territory is not necessarily a separate scored answer.
