Australian states and territories vs countries
Which is bigger?
Tap the place with the larger area. Trust your instinct.
One home region. One country or territory. Five comparisons, no timer.
How does your corner of Australia compare with a whole country? Choose a state or mainland territory and take five guesses.
Eight home regions, worldwide opponents
The home choices are the six states, Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory. External territories and Jervis Bay are excluded. Opponents come from the world set, with Australia itself left out.
The question is about the area inside the mapped boundaries, not population or the distance across a place. A wider outline is not automatically the winner.
188 mapped places in this set.

Choose the place with the larger area. The outlines start fitted to their own cards, then rescale after your answer. There is no timer or speed bonus.
You can finish all five questions even if you get some wrong. Play another short round whenever you like; smaller sets repeat comparisons sooner.
Use the home-region menu above the maps to keep one familiar place throughout the round. Every question pairs a region with a country or selected territory, never with another region.
These comparisons use matching 1:10 million source maps. They measure area, not whether one shape can physically fit inside the other. Values can differ slightly from the world game’s less detailed map.
