How well do you know Europe? quiz!

yeahimhere

I know we all take the piss out of the US and how bad their knowledge of world geography is, but how well, in general, do we actually know our own back door?

Here's an online map of Europe - it tells you a country which you have to match up with the map. Give it a go:

always had an obsession for maps. They're missing the Vatican and Kosovo though. Also why include Turkey and exclude Russia? And no Cyprus either? Still a nice quiz overall.

I was good at all the major countries, just the Eastern European ones I mixed up. I think I'm stuck in my school days Geography, like when Yugoslavia was still a country!!

I think I need to re-educate myself!
