About this site and its data sources

World Playground is a free site for exploring the countries of the world through rankings, maps and quizzes.

What you can do here

Look up the capital, flag, map and neighbors of 193 countries, compare them in more than 40 rankings, and test yourself in the quiz. Every page is available in 17 languages.

Which countries are included

The 193 member states of the United Nations. Observer states and other territories and areas are not listed as countries on this site, because where to draw the line is debated.

How the rankings are made

Rankings use the latest value available for each country from the World Bank. Because the latest year differs from country to country, the year is shown next to every value. Countries without data are left out of a ranking instead of being counted as zero. Countries with the same value share the same rank.

Data sources and licenses

This site combines the following open data. It processes and rearranges the data and may contain errors.

Area: the World Bank series has values for a few countries (Canada, Croatia, Dominican Republic, France, Monaco, Norway, Sweden, United Arab Emirates) that seem to include sea areas, so this site uses figures for land plus inland water (lakes and rivers) from other sources for them. No year is shown for these values.

Data updated: October 29, 2026
