Are the tiny island nations included?

Yes — Nauru, Tuvalu and the other small ones get a circle to click, and you can zoom in. Five territories are asked too: New Caledonia, American Samoa, Norfolk Island, Niue and Wallis & Futuna. French Polynesia and the Cook Islands are not on this map.

Does the flags quiz ask the territories?

Only if you want it to: it asks the independent countries, and unticking “Countries only” adds the territories’ flags.

A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.

Why are Nauru and Niue not in the capitals quizzes?

They have no capital in the quiz (Nauru has no official one), nor do Norfolk Island and Wallis & Futuna. Both capitals quizzes ask the other 15 places.

Example

Oceania map quiz: 19 places, 14 countries, and the islands found by their circles

A Year 6 class in Brisbane plays the Oceania quiz. The map asks 19 places: 14 countries and 5 territories. The small island nations, Tuvalu and Nauru the tiniest, get a circle to click on the whole map. Capitals quizzes ask 15; the flag quiz asks 14 countries, or 18 with territories.

Samoa and American Samoa sit side by side: Apia is Samoa’s capital, Pago Pago American Samoa’s.
Palau’s capital is Melekeok; in “Choose the capital” Majuro, also with an M, is always among the four. Micronesia’s Palikir comes with Pago Pago, Port Moresby or Port Vila.
Zoomed out, tap the circle; the more you zoom in, the fewer circles are needed.

Place	Capital in the quiz	In the flag quiz with “Countries only”
Australia	Canberra	yes
Papua New Guinea	Port Moresby	yes
New Zealand	Wellington	yes
Solomon Islands	Honiara	yes
Vanuatu	Port Vila	yes
Fiji	Suva	yes
Samoa	Apia	yes
Tonga	Nuku'alofa	yes
Tuvalu	Funafuti	yes
Kiribati	South Tarawa	yes
Marshall Islands	Majuro	yes
Micronesia	Palikir	yes
Palau	Melekeok	yes
Nauru	— (no capital asked)	yes
New Caledonia	Noumea	no — territory
American Samoa	Pago Pago	no — territory
Norfolk Island	—	no — territory
Niue	—	no — territory
Wallis & Futuna	—	never — no flag in the set

The bar ends with, say, “Done! 16/19 in 2:30”. The three missed, often Tuvalu, Nauru and Kiribati, are listed, and “Practise the ones I missed” asks only those.

How it works

Choose a quiz: find the countries by name or from their capitals, choose each capital among four, or find the country of a flag.
Click or tap each place as its name appears; the tiniest get a circle to click, and you can zoom in.
At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.
