How to find rare geography answers

  1. Think by region, not by fame. Ask yourself “which part of the world have I skipped?” — Central Asia, the Caucasus, West Africa and the Pacific are rarely named.
  2. Use size and borders. For “bigger than X, smaller than Y” prompts, think of a region you know and check neighbours: Kyrgyzstan, Senegal or Laos often fit middle sizes.
  3. Capitals and rivers beat countries. If the prompt allows cities, a second city (Kraków, Porto, Da Nang) is rarer than any capital.
  4. Stay correct. Spell the official name and don't guess borderline facts — a wrong answer scores nothing.
