Whole World size quiz

Two countries, one question: which one is bigger? Flat maps stretch the far north and south, so some answers will surprise you.

How it works

Play it as a quiz or as Sudden death: one wrong answer and it's over. Very close pairs are left out, so every question has a clear answer.
