Get to know the world, one country at a time.

Explore flags, capitals and country facts

The app covers 260 countries and territories across Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Oceania. Territories are included in this total; it is not a count of sovereign states.

1. Choose a continent or search for a country in the app.
2. Open a country profile to see its national flag and look up its capital, currency and languages.
3. Read the profile’s country facts, or use Read Aloud to listen.
4. Open the interactive world map when you want to place the country in its wider geographic context.

Start with a familiar country, then compare what you learn with somewhere new. The app has 28+ language options; choose your preferred language in its settings. Features and free access can vary by platform.

Practice flags and capitals with geography quizzes

For a short learning session, read a country profile, close it, and try to recall the flag and capital. Check your answer in the profile, then use the app’s geography games to practice recognizing countries and flags.

You can try a four-round geography quiz on the website before downloading. It uses sample questions and is a preview of the geography learning experience. Students, teachers, parents and trivia fans can use country facts as a starting point for further study.

Ask Atlas AI for country and travel ideas

Atlas AI is the app’s conversational guide. Ask about a country’s food, culture, history or travel ideas, compare countries, and continue with follow-up questions in your language.

• “Which traditional dishes should I try in Türkiye?”
• “How do Japan and Brazil compare?”
• “Quiz me about world geography.”

Atlas AI requires an internet connection. Treat its answers as ideas to explore; check current opening times, entry requirements and other changing travel details with the relevant official source before making plans.

Open the country profiles you want to use before a flight or a trip without mobile data, and check the features available in your installed version. Country facts are reference information; they are not a live statistical feed.

How the website preview differs from the app

The website lets you spin a globe, search 236 country previews by name or capital, and try a four-round geography quiz. Download the app for its 260 country and territory profiles and the full mobile experience.

The Atlas AI conversation on the website uses sample replies. It does not send your questions to an AI service. Use Atlas AI in the app to ask your own questions.

Preview populations are labelled sample estimates. Local time uses one representative time zone, while some countries have several. Preview facts come from world-countries by Mohammed Le Doze, with borders from Natural Earth and flags from flag-icons. The preview dataset is available under the ODbL 1.0 license.
