What this game is
Each clue is written for Fartherle and checked against public geography facts. We score the 193 UN member states and we say so. Map and population sources are credited in Data sources, below.
We built Unlimited practice into the first release, because a daily quiz should also be a game you can learn on. The scoring rules are public. If something looks wrong, you can report the clue.
An independent game
Fartherle is a free browser game operated by an independent developer. Promotion is done openly in that capacity. Other games in this genre are made by other people; we do not use their names, assets, clues, or answers, and this site is not an answer key for any other quiz.
Data sources
Fartherle is an independent game. The clues, the points table, and the territory rules are ours.
The world map uses public-domain Natural Earth administrative boundaries, redistributed as TopoJSON by the world-atlas project (ISC license, Copyright 2013–2019 Michael Bostock). Natural Earth does not require credit; we credit it anyway, in the form they suggest: Made with Natural Earth. Free vector and raster map data @ naturalearthdata.com. The live map is the medium-scale 1:50m (1:50,000,000) set, not a “50-metre” map. Tiny territories that do not appear as their own shape on that scale can still be found by search.
Scoring uses World Bank World Development Indicators population estimates for 2025. The World Bank default license is CC BY 4.0, with the Bank’s additional dispute-resolution terms. Required credit format: The World Bank: World Development Indicators: Population estimates, 2025. We have adapted the figures by converting them onto a published logarithmic 10–100 point scale; the formula is described on the Scoring page. This use does not imply endorsement by the World Bank.
Territory rulings on the map follow Fartherle’s published rules, not any single data vendor’s political viewpoint.
