Data: Natural Earth About

Name all 14 countries and territories of South America on a blank map: the 12 sovereign states, French Guiana and the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas, accepted too).

It's a quick quiz, and a good one to try in Find on map mode, or to practise before the North America map quiz.

How to play

Type names: select a place on the map and type its name. You can go back to change or remove any name. Small spelling mistakes are forgiven, and common alternative names are accepted.

Find on map: you get the names one at a time, in random order, and select where each one is. Select a place you already named to take its name back: it goes to the end of the list.

Nothing is marked right or wrong until you select Check answers. Then right answers turn blue, wrong ones red and unnamed ones amber. Fix mistakes clears the wrong names so you can try again. Your progress on each map is saved in this browser. Zoom with the buttons, the mouse wheel or two fingers.

Country borders, US states and the land around Italy: Natural Earth (1:50m, public domain).

Italian provinces and regions: Istat, Confini delle unità amministrative a fini statistici (1 January 2026), licensed under CC BY 4.0. Converted to longitude and latitude, simplified and rounded for this game.

Borders follow internationally recognised boundaries: territory annexed without recognition by the United Nations is shown as part of the country it was taken from, so Crimea belongs to Ukraine and the Golan Heights to Syria. Elsewhere, where no border has been agreed (as in Kashmir), the map follows Natural Earth's lines of actual control.
