Terms of use

The game

Fartherle is provided as available, for personal, non-commercial play. Clues, scores, and map rulings are offered in good faith from public facts and a published country set. They may contain errors; please report them. Consumer rights that apply in your place of residence are not affected.

Content and names

The Fartherle name, original clues, points table, and site writing are ours. Other games’ names, trademarks, and assets remain their owners’. This site is not affiliated with them and is not an answer service for their quizzes. Map and population sources are credited in Data sources, below.

Display names must not impersonate the official game or other people. We may remove a name or a leaderboard row if it breaks these terms or our name rules.

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.
