Test your knowledge
Open “Countries quiz” to find a country on the map, or “Capitals quiz” to pick the right capital out of four. Choose a continent and the number of questions.

Open “Blank map”, choose the whole world or one continent, with or without country names, then download a high-resolution image or print it as a PDF.

A detailed map that runs smoothly on phones

A world map with countries, to learn and look things up
This interactive world map shows the borders of almost every country and territory on the planet. It covers what people usually search for: “world map with countries”, “world map with country names”, “world map with continents”. Tap a country to see its capital on its fact card. Turn on country names with the checkbox, filter by continent (Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Oceania, Antarctica) and zoom in to see tiny countries such as Liechtenstein, Malta or Singapore, which are marked with a clickable dot.
Geography quiz: countries and capitals
Whether you are studying for a middle school or high school geography test or just curious, there are two games. The countries quiz gives you a name (“Find: Canada”) and you click it on the map; if you get it wrong, the right country lights up and the map zooms toward it. The capitals quiz offers four answers for each highlighted country. You can limit the game to one continent (“Europe countries quiz”, “Africa capitals quiz”), choose 10, 20 or 50 questions, or take on every country. Microstates, which are hard to click, are optional.
Printable blank world map in PNG or PDF
Teachers, parents and students often look for a “blank world map”, a “printable world map” or a “world map worksheet” to fill in: that is exactly what the “Blank map” tab makes. You may also know it as an outline map of the world, the kind you label in class. Choose the whole world or one continent, black outlines on white to save ink, a light gray background or colors by continent, with or without country names. Download a PNG image up to 4,000 pixels wide (sharp on an A4 or A3 sheet), a vector SVG file, or print straight to PDF in A4 format (landscape or portrait depending on the region) from your browser's print window.
Which projection and which data?
The map uses the Natural Earth projection, a compromise that limits area distortion: Greenland looks far less oversized than on a Mercator map. The outlines come from Natural Earth (public domain), simplified to stay light. Population figures are World Bank estimates (CC BY 4.0 license), shown with their year; when none exist (Taiwan, Vatican City, most territories), the latest Wikidata value is used. Capitals and areas come from Wikidata (CC0 license). Figures can differ from one source to another. Borders follow the Natural Earth lines, corrected to match borders recognized by the UN: Crimea is shown as part of Ukraine, the Golan Heights as part of Syria, Northern Cyprus as part of Cyprus, Somaliland as part of Somalia, and Western Sahara is drawn as a whole. Other disputed areas (Kashmir, Aksai Chin, the Southern Kurils…) follow the de facto line of control, with no implied recognition.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download a free blank world map?
Open the “Blank map” tab, keep “World” (or choose a continent), leave the “With country names” box unchecked for a map to fill in, then click “Download PNG”. The file is a high-resolution image (up to 4,000 pixels wide) with no watermark.
How do I print the world map as a PDF on an A4 sheet?
Click “Print / PDF”: the map opens in the print window in A4 format. Choose “Save as PDF” as the printer to get a file, or your own printer for a paper copy. To save ink, keep the “Outlines” style.
How do I show country names on the map?
In “Explore”, check “Show names”. Names appear according to the zoom level: large countries first, smaller ones as you zoom in. In “Blank map”, the “With country names” box does the same for printing.
How does the countries quiz work?
You are given a country and you click on it. A correct answer moves you on and adds to your streak; a wrong answer shows the right country, then you move to the next question. The “Hint” button zooms the map toward the country's region (toward its continent if you are playing on the whole world). At the end you see your score, your time and the list of countries you missed, which you can replay in one click.
Why do some countries have several capitals, or none?
Some countries split their capital between institutions: South Africa (Pretoria, Cape Town, Bloemfontein), Bolivia (Sucre, La Paz) or Benin (Porto-Novo, Cotonou). The fact card lists them all, and the quiz accepts any of them. Equatorial Guinea moved its capital from Malabo to Ciudad de la Paz in January 2026: both answers are accepted. Most territories (Greenland, French Polynesia, Puerto Rico…) also have a capital; a few special cases (Hong Kong, Macau, Western Sahara, Saint Helena…) do not. The status of Jerusalem is disputed: Israel's fact card says so, Palestine shows no capital, and these two countries are left out of the capitals quiz.
How many countries are there in the world?
The UN has 193 member states. The quiz includes at most 197 countries: those 193 states, plus Vatican City and Palestine (UN observer states), Kosovo and Taiwan, which have partial international recognition. By default microstates are left out, which gives 173 countries; check the option to include them. The map also shows territories and dependencies (Greenland, French Polynesia, Puerto Rico…), which you can explore but which are not counted as countries.
Are my scores saved?
Yes, but only on your device, in your browser's storage: best score for each setting and longest streak. Nothing is sent to a server, and clearing the site's data erases them.
