Silhouettes

About this quiz

No color, no flag, no text, just the outline. It's a different skill than the other quizzes here: you're reading proportions and coastline instead of recalling a fact. Long thin countries like Chile or Norway are usually easy once you've seen them once. Compact, roughly rectangular countries in the middle of a continent (think several in Central Asia or landlocked parts of Africa) are the ones that take more repetition to lock in.

Because every outline is shown at a comparable scale, this mode is also a decent gut check on relative size: it's easy to underestimate how much bigger some countries are than their neighbors until you've placed the shapes side by side a few times.
