Trivia Questions by Country and Continent

One country or one continent to a pack, split into rounds.

Each pack keeps to one country, or to one continent or region, and splits it into rounds such as the map and the seas, the land and its wildlife, dated history, and writing, arts and food, so a host can build a themed night around one place or lift a single round for a mixed quiz. Questions come with four choices; a tap marks the right one and shows a one-line reason with a link to the Wikipedia article where the fact was read.

A scored round of 20 is marked at the end. Left out because they date quickly: population figures, records and the names of office-holders. The packs are not affiliated with any government or tourist board.
