How many countries does Jow Forums know?

I forgot some easy ones, such as the small European states and Singapore.

I remembered Kiribati but thought it was "Kiribaiti". Stood two minutes trying to remember Kyrgyzstan.

The territories is a fun one to brush up with. I usually forget a few of the Frenchie Madagascar islands but little else.

159/197 because time ended, I think I can do like 180 at least with a bit more time

got 171, at this point I'd have to start googling them

Very good, I'm actually impressed. Usually in these threads people struggle to name just the countries. That's very good work sir. I know them all when I read their names, but I don't know if I could remember all of them with just the blank quiz in front of me.

I managed to identify only 57

Am I dumb?

Uuhhh...

But really, no you're not. You have quite a few of them down already. Just keep practicing bro.

To be fair iceland is called rejkjavik in german after their capital.

>Only difficult bit is the African flags that all look the same, but I have special memory rules for them.
Best part: Lithuanian flag hiding among them.
And i thought that i'm the autist for knowing picrelated. Hats off to you, sir!

I'm not gonna be a cunt and ask for a source on that, but the German wikipedia article is called simply "Island". Is it a dialectal thing?

In Trump's America, stupid American knows all the Oblasts! :^)

Actually I hear a number of Russians/eastern euros at the grocery store where I work.

Lithuania has more of a golden yellow than just pure yellow, it's never been a problem for me for some reason. My fucking favorite is Chad and Romania. Literally the same flag.

And yes, state capitals, very good. Only thing I never bothered to learn properly is the state flags. I know about 20 of them, but the rest is just a coat of arms on a blue background. They all look literally the same.

But now, check this autism right here my man.

Fucking based. Is there anything you don't know?

When you start drilling a dataset, you make a point of learning the hard ones cold. Often, this pushes out a few of the obvious ones-for a little bit, until your brain adjusts.

I only (usually) bother about the provinces/states of larger countries tbqh. I must confess that I do not know your 1st level administrative divisions, although I know of Sophus Lie, Trygve Lie and Muh Heritage is largely Norwegian. I also enjoy Todd Terje but that's just me.

Do you remember it completely though, or do you have to go back and practice every now and then? Like, I know all the countries of the world by heart, but the subdivisions of India for example, I wouldn't remember them all if I tried right now, even though I've learned them all before. It would take me a few tries before I "re-learned" them.

Dude, you missed several of your own fucking colonies. 2/10, practice more.

Check again ;)

The pics merely represent times when I played a quiz to perfection with a fairly good time as well. I do indeed forget lots of this stuff and have to brush up, esp. the provinces. the countries and their capitals are pretty well-stored in long-term memory though. I couldn't do half of pic related right now.

The oblasts etc are pretty good in long-term memory as well because it was so big and intimidating that I took it as a challenge and really took my time with it. I could do that one to 80-ish percentage without any practice, any time.

You’re forgetting that Kosovo has actual independence. Palestine only has it on paper

Attached: 8.png (944x588, 60K)

It's a matter of political bias tbqh. The Central African Republic only has independence on paper, as does Yemen, as did Somalia a few years ago. Palestine is internationally recognized as a non-member observer state, for some quiz maker to decide that's not enough, but then include unrecognized countries like Kosovo, that rubs me the wrong way. Not that I necessarily support Palestine, I just think quizzes like these should be neutral.

It's something called active and passive memory. Active memory is what you can recall immediately like when you take a test like this. Passive is what you can only recall when it's mentioned

This, I too group it, though differently than this. I still remember it. Just create your own memory rules, they don't have to make sense to anyone else, but you'll remember it. Some of the memory rules I use are fucking stupid, but hey, they work.

I got Ireland, you can see the name under the flag

>making rules to win on a online test
If there's no real gain I wouldn't put in such effort

186/196

Island fucked me up as always.

There's more to it than that tbqh, it's about understanding the world. Nauru used to be super rich because of phosphate deposits, now it's dirt poor. They're one of the few countries to recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia, in return, they get money from Russia. Tuvalu consists of 9 islands, has a population of only 11,000 people, and a highpoint of only 4 meters. It will be one of the first nations to disappear when sea levels rise.

Et cetera ad infinitum. You can't know this if you don't even know these countries exist. I believe knowledge of the countries of the world should be as basic knowledge as addition and subtraction. People cannot hope to understand geopolitics if they don't know what countries there even are. I'm not claiming to be an expert, I'm just saying that anyone who knows about the situation in the Central African Republic could explain it better than someone who doesn't even know the CAR is a country.

I am very impressed to say the least, i never thought someone non-russian would bother memorising 85+ subjects. (i sometimes fuckup Samara and Saratov).

About subject flags: check out ours, it's a mess at best. Some have imperial symbols, one with orthodox depiction of jesus, couple of others still have hammer&sickel on them and one lgbt flag just as an icing on the cake lmao.

Some (rough) generalisation of how slav languages sound:
youtube.com/watch?v=CUAMfg8YAU0
Also keep in mind that russian lang is the most "unfamiliar" among other slav langs, that's due do many modernisations and standartisations made in various times.
Also russian and portugese sound familiar:
youtube.com/watch?v=gOMoZm1e9Mc
It amazes me how, if i'm listening to portugese speech with "one ear", it appears purely russian until i finally focus.

fuck you west africa and central america

"Ghana/Togo/Benin" is an easily remembered "Huey/Dewey/Louie" trio of cunts. Ghana is a relatively relevant African country (they've beaten USA in the World cup multiple times), and you should know Benin by the "haha Benin" meme alone.

i dunno i see no pattern in ghana togo benin
i should have had ghana. I don't even use memory rules for this its purely from connection/some random interest in a country where i looked it up
So i know Tonga because ive been there for 6 months and djbouti because when i was a kid my mum taught english to a woman from there. Or knowing some of the carribean because of cricket.

If you struggle on anything it should be the Caribbean and Oceania with islands of less than 100,000 people.

This. All the fucking Saint islands and Oceanic meme nations should be more difficult than knowing about fucking Mali.

How to learn Africa!

54 cunts (not including Western Sahara). Amazingly, they're all African Union member states.

-break them up into groups of 2-5 at a time.

-learn at least one thing about the cunt. this makes it stick in your memory. I provide one example below.

The island nation of Sao Tome and Principe is like Ranma Saotome. It's also closer to the intersection of the Equator and the Prime Meridian than anyone else.

I didn't have internet or video games when I was a kid. So I spent a lot of time whit an world atlas

I had a small pocket atlas when I was a kid. My parents weren't rich, so that was the only way for me to experience the world. I read it every day, because I wanted to travel the world. Eventually, I learned all the countries, their flags and capitals. I'm still not in a position to explore the planet, but at least I know the countries in it.
