Read the atlas with context.

A directory helps you recognize names and flags. A country profile helps you connect them with a capital, language, currency and place on the map. For a first study session, choose just three names from the same region.

Continent labels here follow the bundled preview dataset. Geographic and cultural groupings can differ, especially for places associated with more than one continent. Listing a territory or disputed place is a reference choice, not a statement about sovereignty.

Keep exploring.

The three featured guides have dedicated pages. Other entries are a name-and-flag reference; find the fuller profiles in the app.

How country profiles work →

Names, regions and flag references: world-countries and flag-icons. The website dataset is distributed under ODbL 1.0. Flags have a MIT license.
