ℹ️ About TheGeocist 2.0
What's new in 2.0
This release fixes a real bug where Currency, Language, Food, Animal, and Audio quizzes could occasionally show two options with the same value — that's now mathematically impossible. Passwords are now hashed before storage instead of kept as plain text. Capital, Region, and Independence quizzes now properly feed your Passport, Country Mastery, and Review Mistakes data (a gap that existed before). It also adds sound effects, accessibility improvements (keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels), a Settings page, a Custom Quiz builder, Local Versus multiplayer, per-continent achievements, favorites, search filters, shareable score cards, and this About page.
The dataset
TheGeocist covers 197 countries and territories — the UN's 193 member states plus Vatican City, Kosovo, Palestine, and Taiwan, all widely referenced in general geography education. For each one we track capital, region, an approximate 2024 population estimate, currency, primary language, independence date, calling code, and — for a large subset — airport code, license plate code, national dish, national animal, and a notable UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Accuracy & disputed territories
Capitals, independence dates, and calling codes are drawn from stable, well-documented public reference facts. Population figures are rounded estimates and not official census data. Palestine, Taiwan, and Kosovo have contested international status; their profile pages include a short factual note on that rather than taking a position.
The map
World Map Mode uses a simplified world map by Al MacDonald, edited by Fritz Lekschas, under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license. It covers 175 of the 197 countries — small island nations too tiny to render on a low-resolution map are the main gaps.
Accounts & privacy
Accounts, scores, and settings are stored only in your browser (via localStorage) — there's no server and no data leaves your device. Passwords are hashed before storage, but since this isn't a server-authenticated system, please don't reuse an important password here.
