Find the Countries: Balkans No-Borders Quiz
Test your knowledge of the Balkans by finding each country on a map with borders hidden.
Small borders, similar neighbors
The Balkans pack a lot of countries into southeastern Europe. The shapes are small enough that knowing the rough region is rarely enough.
Croatia is recognizable. Keeping Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia in the right order is the harder part.
Neighbor order matters here
The Balkans make neighbor order matter. Recognizing the country names by themselves will not place them on this map.
How the no-borders map quiz works
A country name appears on a map with the political borders hidden. Click where it belongs. The coastline stays, so you still have some geography to work with.
Borderless mode is a good follow-up once the normal click map has become comfortable.
Tip: Pick out a coastline, peninsula or big country you know and judge the target from there.
A few kilometers on screen can matter
The middle of the peninsula is full of short borders and similarly sized neighbors. Regional definitions also vary, so Smurdy uses one fixed country list.
