Maldives is not displayed on the map but also not listed as a country that was removed. It threw me off.

I love this quiz because I've never stared so long at a blank space, convinced there is supposed to be a country there, but cannot work out what it is. Then I finish the quiz and realise that I'm going insane because there's never been a country there. Like some kind of Mandela Effect.

1:03, first try, not so bad.

Level 35

Oct 16, 2018

Would be nice if the quiz stated that none of the missing countries is smaller than (a given area), so people won't try to look for some small islands. Like Maldives, I'm pretty sure that Maldives aren't there.

12/12 with 1:30 left, by the way :)

Clever and well done but I also suggest maybe making smaller ones there to give a bit of a challenge. ;)

Cyprus was way harder than the others, 11/12

Indeed. 11/12, remaining time: 2+ min. 12/12 (Cyprus), remaining time: 0:01. Oof!

If he wanted to be really evil he would remove Tonga, Antigua, Maldives, Monaco, Barbados, Fiji, Malta, and the Vatican.

Not seeing Cyprus is kinda the point.

you can, it is the Island south of turkey, but you already knew that

Jan 11, 2021

I like how this quiz doesn't have countries missing where it would look like the world map is definitely wrong. Meaning that only experienced map-readers such as us JetPunkers would know where the world map looks slightly awry... the other quizzes like this one have, like, the US missing from the map, and it looks so weird

Has to be randomized at least in some fashion. Otherwise it's uselessly easy on retake.

Level 60

Aug 4, 2022

I came back to it a year later, and still super-easy. Especially once you realize most of the missing countries are either islands or touching the ocean.

Denmark was missing, meaning Greenland was missing. I really am unobservant.

It's funny how many people forget about New Zealand (not specifically targeting this quiz), plus, with the Mercator Map Projections, New Zealand appears larger than it really should be.

Poor New Zealand :(
