About the shapes of Island Nations

Stripped of colour and context, 40 Island countries are surprisingly hard to name. Each outline below is drawn to the same frame, so relative size gives nothing away.

The extremes tell you why: Australia at 7,692,024 km² and Nauru at 21.0 km² are both scaled to fill the same box, so you are judging form alone.

Coastline does most of the work in Island Nations. Countries with a distinctive peninsula or island chain are recognised quickly; compact inland shapes are the ones that stall people.

The pairs that actually cost people points in Island Nations are Japan–Palau, Australia–Fiji and Australia–New Zealand. There are 7 look-alike pairings inside this region, so it is worth learning the one detail that separates each pair rather than the general impression.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 40 entries in Island Nations. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.

How are the wrong answers chosen?

Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
