How to use this list
Flag on the left, then the name, capital and region. The list is sorted alphabetically; compound names such as “Côte d’Ivoire” are found by their first letter. For the map quiz this list is a fair reference: it gives names, not locations.
The list counts 193 UN member states plus Vatican City and Palestine. Dependent territories, including Greenland, Puerto Rico and the Faroe Islands, are not included.
