I like doing this online quiz every once in a while (although the website has gotten much shittier over the past few decades.)

Got 123/197 today, those tiny west African countries and pacific island nations tend to get me.

    None. They’ve already got names, and in any case, I don’t think anyone would let me name any of them (which is a shame, because I’d name Mexico as New Tenochtitlan, spelling accurate of course)

    All of them and identify them all on a globe (besides island countries cause we all know that’s impossible)

    My spouse is great at these. Her only blind spots are small islands in the Pacific and some down the Caribbean chain, and half of those she knows. I would bet the farm she could hit 150 named correctly on a map without breaking a sweat. Then place their flags and name capitals.

    124 before running out of time. Spent way too long trying to spell Phillipines and Liechtenstein, and ended up giving up. I think I would’ve ended up on 135ish maybe.

    It’s a bit of a hobby of mine, I also do lots of quizzes on jetpunk.com, so naming all countries of the world is actually very easy for me, with or without a map.
