Geography — Now with 100% More Shame

If you’ve ever wanted to be humbled by a pixelated outline of Uzbekistan, Seterra is the game for you. It’s the world’s most educational method of proving you don’t know where the world is. One moment you’re clicking around with pride, the next you’re crying because you confused Sweden with Switzerland again, like a tourist trying to order schnitzel in IKEA.

Seterra is what happens when “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” gets drunk at a UN conference and challenges your ego to a duel. And loses.

Seterra is, essentially, a gamified quiz platform for learning geography—but not in the fun way, like naming rivers on pub night. No, it’s in the “you’re going to cry while trying to spell Kyrgyzstan” kind of way. It’s a digital bootcamp for cartographic incompetents.

And according to our entirely imaginary and unpaid expert panel (consisting of a lost cruise passenger, a former high school teacher with a globe tattoo, and one extremely smug 9-year-old), Seterra is responsible for more geographical self-esteem crises than Google Maps crashing on a family road trip.

The United States of Confused

Let’s begin with the raw numbers: a 2024 Pew Research study (which we absolutely didn’t make up) found that only 4% of Americans could identify more than 3 countries in Africa—and 2 of those countries were Wakanda and Zamunda. One participant confidently labeled Madagascar as “that place where the animated lemurs live.”

Seterra attempts to fix this. And by “fix,” we mean it exposes. It shines a bright flashlight onto the dark corners of your brain, revealing that you’re pretty sure “Qatar” is a type of hummus.

Seterra’s interface is clean and simple. You’re presented with a map and a prompt:

“Click on Slovenia.”

You panic. Is it near Italy? Or is that Slovakia? Or…did you click Moldova again? Doesn’t matter.
Seterra buzzes you with the disappointed sigh of a thousand geography teachers.

Click First, Ask Forgiveness Later

Seterra has spawned a global subculture of “rage-clickers”: people who believe that frantically stabbing at Europe with their mouse will somehow lead them to Estonia. Spoiler alert—it won’t. Estonia is watching. Estonia is judging.

A study conducted by the Institute of Cartographic Humiliation (which exists only in this paragraph) concluded that Seterra players go through the five stages of geographical grief:

1. Denial – “No way that’s Kazakhstan! It’s way smaller in my head.”

2. Anger – “WHY DOES EVERY AFRICAN COUNTRY HAVE A ‘Z’ IN IT?!”

3. Bargaining – “Okay Seterra, just show me where Rwanda is and I’ll buy the premium version.”

4. Depression – [sad music plays as player stares blankly at the Balkans]

5. Acceptance – “You know what? I don’t need to know where Albania is. I’m an artist.”

Witness Testimony: Geography Ruined My Marriage

We interviewed a real person (or at least someone pretending to be one in the comments section) who claimed:

“My wife left me after I called the Netherlands a city in Denmark on a Seterra stream.”

Seterra has become the silent destroyer of relationships. Friends turn against friends in the “Flags of the World” challenge. One misidentified Scandinavian banner and it’s emotional warfare.

Even worse is the “All Countries of the World” quiz—an exercise in endurance, memory, and masochism. A Reddit user known only as “GeoTrauma420” shared:

“I finally finished the world map. I wept. I called my dad. He said, ‘I’m still disappointed in you.’”

Seterra vs Public School: No Contest

In a recent controlled experiment we totally fabricated, students using Seterra for one week outperformed high school seniors in a national geography test by a margin of 700%. Of course, this may also be because the high school curriculum thought geography was a type of smoothie.

One student, 9-year-old Mika from Des Moines, told reporters:

“I learned more from Seterra in two days than my school taught me in six years. Also, I now know the difference between Niger and Nigeria, which apparently adults don’t.”

This sparked outrage among teachers, who called the software “a threat to the sacred art of coloring in blank maps for extra credit.”

The Flag That Broke Me

Flags in Seterra are an art form in humiliation. You think you know flags? You don’t. They all look like horizontal stripes and stolen color palettes. You think you’ve clicked on Austria—nope, that’s Latvia. You think you’ve got Italy? That’s the flag of Ireland upside down in the mirror of despair.

There’s even a support group for people who can’t tell between Romania and Chad’s flags. It’s just one guy named Greg crying in a Discord server.

Comedy in Cartography: What the Funny People Are Saying

Jerry Seinfeld:

“So we can find water on Mars, but we can’t find where Bolivia is on a blank map? What’s the deal with globes not having a search bar?”

Ron White:

“Seterra said, ‘Click on Mauritius.’ I said, ‘How about I click on whatever the hell I feel like and we call it progress?’”

Jackie Mason:

“Seterra makes me feel like I went to school in a potato sack while everyone else got Google Earth implanted in their brains.”

Why Seterra Is the Perfect Game for the Overconfident

Seterra doesn’t just teach geography. It teaches humility. It strips you of your pride like a TSA agent confiscating your dignity in front of a family of four from Cincinnati.

And it’s not just Americans. Europeans are terrible at Asia. Asians are confused by South America. Australians—well, Australians just laugh because they know everyone thinks their country is also a continent and sometimes a zoo.

It’s a global embarrassment simulator. The United Nations should consider using Seterra instead of sanctions.

“You bombed a hospital? Cool. Now find Vanuatu on this unlabeled map or face embargoes.”

Geopolitical Gaffes: A Case Study

In 2025, a U.S. senator famously misidentified Iran as “that country above Florida.” He later clarified that he meant “Iraq,” which he thought was near Atlanta. His staff revealed he’d been training with Seterra but refused to play any map outside of “U.S. States Easy Mode.”

That same year, the Pope mistook the Vatican for a suburb of Rome during a press briefing. A bold journalist slid him a Seterra map quiz mid-speech. The Pope failed. He then declared it heresy and excommunicated the developer.

What Will Seterra Become?

With GeoGuessr now acquiring Seterra, the game’s future includes more multiplayer mode, more “click-shaming” animations, and probably a bot that mocks your score with an AI-generated Scottish accent.

Rumors suggest they’re launching a “Hard Mode” where all the countries are invisible and all the flags are grayscale.

A beta tester reported:

“It’s like trying to play chess while blindfolded and also being yelled at by an angry Swiss man.”

Actionable Advice for the Geographically Challenged

• Practice Daily: Just 10 minutes of Seterra per day keeps international embarrassment away. Probably.

• Play in Groups: Nothing bonds a family like collectively failing to locate Papua New Guinea.

• Use Mnemonics: “Niger is nice. Nigeria is not Niger.” It’s not perfect, but it helps.

• Drink Wine: Not helpful for geography. But you’ll care less about being wrong.

Conclusion: Maps Don’t Lie, But They Do Hurt

Seterra is the world’s most humbling game. It will reduce Ivy League graduates to flailing map-monkeys and elevate 6th graders to cartographic warlords.

It’s a game. It’s a study tool. It’s a mirror reflecting our deep, national failure to know where Canada ends.

Seterra: Because geography shouldn’t just be for pilots, spies, and people who read globes for fun.
It should also be for people like you—people who deserve the right to click “Eritrea” and feel proud they didn’t land in Yemen again.

Auf Wiedersehen!

Fifteen Observations About Seterra: The Game That Proves You’re Terrible at Geography

“Seterra taught me there’s a country called Djibouti. And I’ve been pronouncing it wrong for years. Turns out it’s not a dance move.”

Seterra is the only game where losing repeatedly makes you smarter. It’s like if Candy Crush gave you a PhD in Flags and Sadness.

Every time I take the “European Capitals” quiz, I remember why I failed high school Spanish: I was trying to learn French in Sweden.

Seterra says it’s “fun for all ages.” That’s true—if all ages enjoy sobbing quietly into a keyboard because they can’t find Moldova.

“Click on Slovenia.” — I click on Slovakia. Again. For the 18th time.
Seterra: “Incorrect.”
Me: “Emotionally, that’s not helpful.”

Seterra has taught me more about the geography of Africa than my 12 years of public school education.
But to be fair, my school thought Africa was just “where The Lion King happened.”

They say it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill.
I spent 10,000 seconds on Seterra and mastered the art of rage-clicking on the wrong island in Oceania.

There’s nothing like confidently clicking on Belgium only to discover you’ve selected “Belize.”
Close in letters, miles apart in regret.

Seterra made me realize that half of the Caribbean is actually just “French vacation spots with independence.”

“Name every country in the world!”
—Says Seterra.
Cool. Can I name every emotion I go through while failing? Denial. Shame. Pizza. More shame.

I nailed the “Flags of the World” quiz once.
Turns out, I was on the “Easy Mode” where every flag was Canada.

Seterra doesn’t judge. But it does pause for just long enough after a wrong answer to make sure you feel it.

You ever get so many countries wrong in a row that you start making them up?
“Yeah sure, ‘North Yugoblakistan’ feels real.”

Seterra users are divided into two groups:

• • • People who know every country on the map.

    • And people who call Antarctica “That Cold White Blob at the Bottom.”

I finally beat the “Asia Capitals” quiz.
My mom said she was proud.
Then she added, “But can you find your way to a job interview without GPS?”
