About Maple Map Quiz
Maple Map Quiz turns an old paper atlas into six games. Nothing to sign up for, nothing tracking you, no adverts between the questions.
What you find here
Six quiz modes for the whole world and for each region, a quiz of the day with a streak, and a page for each of the 194 countries with its own small map. All pages exist in English, Italian, Hungarian and Finnish, and the quizzes use the same language as the page.
Everything runs in your browser. The map is drawn from vector data on your own device, so it stays sharp at any zoom and works on a slow connection once the page is loaded.
How the facts are chosen
Every number and name on the country pages comes from the open data listed below; nothing is added by hand. Neighbours are calculated from the map itself: two countries count as neighbours when their outlines share a stretch of border. The figures for population and area are shown with their year and their source.
Data and licences
The map, flags, names and figures come from open sources. Thank you to everyone who maintains them.

Borders
Borders are drawn as they stand on the ground, following Natural Earth; the map takes no side in any dispute. Land whose status is disputed, or which is not independent, stays grey, unnamed and out of the questions.
