About the Map of the World
This map shows all 195 countries: the 193 members of the United Nations plus Vatican City and Palestine. Russia is the largest, with more than a tenth of the world's land, and Vatican City the smallest. Africa has the most countries (54), ahead of Asia and Europe. Countries too small to label are numbered and listed in the key under the map.
Tips for Learning the Countries
- Learn it one continent at a time. Each continent has its own printable map, so master one before you move on to the next.
- Place the giants first: Russia, Canada, the United States, China, Brazil and Australia. Then fit their neighbours around them.
- Leave the small island nations for last and learn them in groups: the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the islands off Africa.
