Name all countries in Asia

How this quiz works

48 countries, from Lebanon to Timor-Leste. Type names into the box and each one lands in its alphabetical block.

Central Asia is the usual blind spot — the five -stans other than Pakistan and Afghanistan — followed by the small Gulf states. The Caucasus counts here too: Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are Asian under the UN geoscheme, as are Turkey and Cyprus.

When the clock runs out, or when you give up, every country you missed is revealed.

Questions people ask

How many countries are there in Asia?

48 here: 47 UN member states plus Palestine. Turkey, Cyprus, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are counted as Asian, following the UN geoscheme; Russia is counted as European.

Can I change the timer?

Yes. Pick 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes before you start, or choose Count up — that mode has no limit and the clock stops the moment you get the last one, so it doubles as a speedrun timer. Your choice is remembered for next time.

Does spelling have to be exact?

Capitals, spaces, hyphens, punctuation and accents are all ignored, so “uae”, “south korea” and “burma” all count. Where one answer is the start of another, the shorter one waits for Enter so the longer one stays typeable.

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to install, no ads in the way of the board. Your best score is kept in your own browser and never leaves your device.
