World Citizen Geography Quiz

Don’t know the capital or flag of Albania? Don’t despair. World Citizen is an interactive quiz game that will help you and your aspiring United Nations delegate learn about countries, capitals, and flags of the world. Available in four languages (with more to come), players test their knowledge of nearly 200 different countries by matching flag to country, flag to capital, or capital to country. A handy Country List function provides links to each country’s Wikipedia page for further research, while the Training mini-game acts as a warmup to the Challenge round. Be forewarned: unless you or your junior vexillologist have paid close attention during world geography class, even the easiest level can prove to be quite challenging!
