Find the Country from a Point: Former Soviet Union Quiz
Identify which country in this set contains each point placed on the map.
The Baltics to Central Asia
This group contains the countries that became independent after the Soviet Union dissolved. They stretch from the Baltics through the Caucasus and into Central Asia.
Estonia feels like a Baltic question. Kazakhstan feels like Central Asia. Both are in the same historical set.
Four smaller maps work better here
The Baltics, the Caucasus and Central Asia each feel like their own little map. Learn them that way.
How the point map quiz works
A point appears somewhere on the map. Type the country that actually contains it. The round keeps going through all 15 countries.
Point mode works best on a map you already know pretty well. It exposes fuzzy boundaries quickly.
Tip: Points near borders are the nasty ones. Check which side of the border the dot is really on.
Central Asia is easy to rotate mentally
The five Central Asian countries are a common source of confusion, especially when the names are more familiar than the shapes.
