Learn the countries, capitals and flags of the world

This is part of my 40 Before 40 Challenge.

---

This challenge is to learn all 197* countries of the world, as well as their capitals and flags.

Countries and capitals have been a little hobby of mine for some time, aided by the quiz website Sporcle, so it’s mainly just flags that I need to put in some serious study for to complete the set.

In case you’re interested in having a go yourself, here are the three quizzes that I’ll be targeting:

• Countries of the world
• Capitals of the world
• Flags of the world

*Sporcle currently lists 197 countries, compared with the UN’s official list of 193 but I’m going to go with the higher figure; here’s a fun video that explains why it’s difficult to give a definitive number.
