On accuracy. Capitals and region assignments are checked. Food, fun facts and season counts are best-effort summaries, and for very small nations they are kept general rather than invented — treat the trivia as a starting point, not a citation.
On the numbers. Population and nominal GDP are the latest available estimates — roughly 2024–25 — and deliberately rounded. GDP per capita is derived from those two rather than stored separately, so the three figures always agree. Standing follows World Bank income groups: high income reads as developed, middle as developing, and low income or UN least-developed as least developed. Vatican City, North Korea and Western Sahara publish no reliable figure and show a dash rather than an invented number. Treat all of it as an order of magnitude, not an accounting statement.
On regions. Six groupings are used, so transcontinental states are placed by their dominant ties: Russia sits with Europe, the Caucasus and Türkiye with Asia, Egypt with Africa, Mexico with North & Central America. Greenland is coloured with North America but is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
On borders. Unassigned shapes (Siachen Glacier, the Spratlys, Scarborough Reef and a few Caribbean banks) are drawn in grey because their sovereignty is disputed. Territories and partially recognised states are labelled as such and sit outside the quiz pool. Antarctica is not drawn, as it has no sovereign states. Palestine is absent because this map geometry has no shape for it.
