How's your geographical knowledge?

Namely, the countries of the world? I just did this quiz and got 157/197!

I'm confident I could pinpoint about 50 of those and could probably give you a few facts about them. Maybe 50 more I could give a good guess as to where they are. Another 50 I could tell you the continent, and that'd be it. The last 7 I just know they're somewhere in the world and it's anybody's guess as to where! I know shockingly little about Europe, Anything east of Austria or Italy I'm very vague on. We didn't really 'do' Geography at school - it was all 'sustainability', 'tectonic plates' and 'long-shore drift', nothing about the actual countries, resources and people there. My New Year's resolution to the educate myself on geography of the world.

My record was about 140ish many years ago. But it's been a while since I did some geography sporcle quizzes.

I could probably do all England counties and US states without hesitation.

I used to do these sporcle quizzes all the time and could name all the countries. Wouldn't necessarily be able to point to them all on a map but would have a rough idea. Could probably manage a good proportion of capitals. Ask me about counties and towns in England though and I'm stumped 🤦‍♀️
