Field notes
A round accepts English country names, including common alternatives such as USA, UK, UAE, and Czech Republic; accents and punctuation are ignored. Players can race a 15-minute clock or use relaxed mode, then review missed countries. Personal bests remain on the device, while leaderboard scores are shared across devices; the page describes that board as casual and honor-system, with nicknames neither reserved nor verified. The map uses Natural Earth, and country data is attributed to mledoze/countries under ODbL.
