Map of the largest countries

Ten countries of the largest countries. Tap each on the map; a miss shows where it really is.

The thirty largest countries by area, spread over every continent. Easy to find on the map, but not always easy to tell apart by flag.

30 countries make up this region. Start from the big ones: Russia is the largest by area and a good anchor for the rest. The smallest, Tanzania, may need a zoom and a tap on its dot.

India has the largest population here and Mongolia the smallest, a reminder that size on the map and size in people are two different things.
