Which African countries are in the quiz?

Algeria, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The snapshot is a reviewed selection, not every country in Africa: it started from a fixed list of 88 countries, and the few whose capital record was ambiguous or transitional, or had no English label, were left out, so this is a short quiz.

Which capitals does the quiz use for Tanzania, Nigeria and Morocco?

Dodoma for Tanzania, Abuja for Nigeria and Rabat for Morocco, as the dated Wikidata snapshot records them. Every capital answer shows its source with a link to its Wikidata entry.

Can I quiz only some of these countries?

Yes. Open Countries under Seed and countries, press None, then tick the countries you want; a quiz needs at least 5. Press Africa (15) to select all of them again. The countries you pick here are not remembered, so this page always opens on all 15.

Can I print an Africa quiz?

Yes. Print a quiz turns the current settings into a numbered sheet with a separate answer key, drawn only from the African countries you have selected.

Questions come from exactly 82 country, capital and flag pairs in a dated 2026-09-21 snapshot: capitals from Wikidata (CC0) and flags from flag-icons 7.5.0 (MIT), with the source shown on every answer. It is not all of world geography and settles no sovereignty question; flags are drawn at a standard 4:3, Nepal keeping its own outline, not to official construction ratios. A country whose flag file or fact fails its check is shown as unavailable, never paired with another country's flag.
