How Many Countries Can You Name in 5 Minutes?

I’ve always been a fan of geography and history lessons, and I’ve always been really good with the names of countries and their location in the world. I guess it comes with my love of languages and travel, but it’s just something that has always really interested me.

I stumbled across this game the other day: How Many Countries Can You Name in 5 Minutes? It tests how many countries you can name out of the 195 listed sovereign nations in 5 minutes. Countries like England and Scotland don’t count as they are not sovereign nations – the first time I tried playing it, I misread the explanation about sovereign nations and then spent the first minute or so repeatedly typing in “England” and not understanding why the game said my answer was wrong!

The first time I played this game, I got a score of 94/195. If you play this game (it only takes 5 minutes ;D), what’s your score?
