Capitals and Borders of the Continent

Micro-states add an extra layer of difficulty: Monaco on the French Riviera, Andorra in the Pyrenees, San Marino in Italy, Liechtenstein between Switzerland and Austria. Every question helps you lock in these geographic landmarks.

Land Area and Population

Ukraine is the largest country entirely within Europe (603,550 km²). Germany leads the EU's population rankings with 84 million people.
