Name all countries in Europe

How this quiz works

44 countries, Iceland to Ukraine. Type names into the box and each one lands in its alphabetical block.

The microstates are what separate a good run from a perfect one: Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City are five answers that fit on one line and are forgotten more often than any Balkan state.

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 Europe?

44 here: 43 UN member states plus Vatican City. Russia is included as European and Turkey, Cyprus, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are not, following the UN geoscheme. Kosovo is left out because its status is disputed.

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 “czech republic” matches Czechia, “holland” matches the Netherlands and “uk” matches the United Kingdom. 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.
