eduMap provides a fun way to learn the location of countries, states and capitals. Includes multiple maps, high scores and different playing modes.
Always wanted to learn the location of each African country? How about capitals of U.S. states? Maybe you never had a chance to learn all the names of all independent European nations since 1991?
The eduMap widget provides a fun way to learn the location of countries, states and capitals. Select either a full continent or a subsection of countries, then be quizzed on their locations. In the default mode, just hover over a country or state and discover its name, capital, area and population.
Different quiz modes are available to help you lean in a variety of ways. High scores are recorded on your system, based on percentage correct and completion time. 100% SVG based, so you can resize the widget to whatever size is preferred without any quality loss.
Currently Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the USA are available. More maps may be added in the future.
Optional languages are English, Russian and Finnish.

It's just as awesome as the Stay Secure widget widgets.opera.com/widget/4495/ I'm still not sure which one I like more...

Edit: Kosovo and Bahrain would be very good update.
You've done very good widget, keep up the good work and make it even better.
Maybe external language files would be good idea because this is getting so popular and always better to learn countries by your own language.

(country name: eduMap / english Wikipedia / 2008 C.I.A. Factbook)
Russia: 3 960 000 / 17 075400 / 17 075200
Ireland: 70 280 / 81 638,1 / 70 280
Norway: 324 220 / 385 252 / 323 802
Portugal: 91 568 / 92 345 / 92 391
Spain: 498 506 / 504 030 / 504 782
Italy: 301 230 / 301 338 / 301 230
Macedonia: 25 333 / 25 713 / 25 333
Slovakia 48 845 / 49 035 / 48 845
Austria 83 858 / 83 872 / 83 870
Romania: 238 391 / 238 391 / 237 500
Some of these differences could be explained by the exclaves, islands, disputed territories of a given country but it's still intriguing for me, how and who decides the area of state.

- Yes, I was hoping someone would mention qqq in these comments. I've always felt it to be the lesser appreciated series of three consonents strung together.
- Thanks for reminding us all this "A error" is grammatically incorrect, where "AN error" is the correct way of referring to something gone wrong. However, you may want to consider adding a verb and some other words to that sentence if you with to convey some problem with this particular widget.
- My your mobile? You're my mobile? I'm your mobile? Are you saying there's a way for no cost television viewing on the mobile version of eduMap? Cool! Thanks for that contribution. Also, it looks like you forgot to add some link to somewhere. Might want to work on that. Oh, and try posting "ttt" or maybe "zzz" next time to make more sense.
- Associating one religion with each country isn't particularly useful, I don't think. Though the date of independence might be useful to add at some point, yes.

Expect the next version up here in the next few days. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for all the (positive and negative) feedback!
A Dutch translation would be great, thanks in advance!

Only oddity I came across so far is that Malta isn't on the map of Europe!
And Vatican City should probably be listed as well, since it's a sovereign city state.

Great learning tool by the way.

I have just found some bugs:
- the flag of taiwan does not display
- on the Asia map, while playing "location to flag", widget reports "wrong" on Russia, Turkey, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Kazakhstan even on good answer. And that's frustrating because this is already diffuclt enougth to remember :-)
Thank you.
