What this Former Soviet Union quiz covers
The Former Soviet Union group contains the countries that became independent after the Soviet Union dissolved. Its map stretches from the Baltic Sea and Eastern Europe through the Caucasus and Central Asia.
How the no-borders map quiz works
The quiz names a country, but the usual political borders are removed. Click where you think it belongs by using coastlines, neighboring landforms, distance, and your memory of the regional layout. This set covers all 15 countries.
Gameplay tip: Use coastlines and the positions of nearby large countries as anchors before judging smaller inland areas.
What makes this group challenging
The countries are spread across several subregions, and the five Central Asian states are often confused because of their similar names and inland positions.
Study tip
Learn the Baltic states, the eastern European states, the Caucasus, and Central Asia as separate clusters before combining them.
