Type the Countries: Former Soviet Union Map Quiz
Practice the names and locations of the former Soviet Union by typing the highlighted countries.
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 typing map quiz works
One country is highlighted. Type its name and move on to the next one. You get the location as a clue, but the name has to come from memory.
Typing is useful once the shapes feel familiar but some of the names still lag behind.
Tip: If you recognize the shape but the name is slow, say the name out loud or in your head before typing.
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.
