The training floor
You are an apprentice at the mint, and this is where you are tested. Five games, ten questions a run, a grade you climb. Every question is built from the same data as the country dossiers — the same World Bank measures, the same years, the same flags — so a wrong answer always comes with the real numbers and a way through to the note it came from.

Spot the forgery
Three statements about one country. Two are true, one was fabricated. Find the fake.
Higher or lower
Two countries, one measure. Which of them is greater? Not which is better.
Guess the flag
One flag, four countries. Only one of them flies it.
Guess the country
Clues arrive one at a time, vaguest first. Name it early — every extra clue costs you.
Where in the world
Named a country. Click its shape on the map — no list of names to fall back on.
