What a question looks like
Answer: Islamabad
- Islamabad is listed as the capital of Pakistan.
Keep place names connected to a map
The mixed setting alternates between countries, capitals, and broad world regions. You can focus on one question type or region when introducing new places, then return to mixed recall. For a ten-question check, ask the learner to point to each country before revealing the key.
The country bank is a selected static snapshot, not a ruling on political status. It omits some disputed and multiple-capital cases to keep school questions answerable. Review the cited source before using capital facts for current affairs or a formal assessment.
Use this practice well
Use a globe or map after each answer to attach the country name to its location. Distinguish political countries from continents and geographic regions.
What this develops
Practise country facts such as capitals and world regions.
A mistake to watch for
A capital city and a largest city are not always the same place.
Ways to use it
- Review world place names.
- Compare countries within a region.
- Use the key to correct a capital mix-up.
Scope and limits
Country recognition follows the curated factual set and cannot settle disputed sovereignty.
Sources and scope
The selected country-capital bank is a static World Bank Country API snapshot, attributed under its dataset terms (CC BY 4.0 with additional terms). Region labels are teaching categories informed by UN M49.
