Great deck! I second the comment about adding this deck to Ankihub for collaboration and community-sourced updates!

Great job!

I appreciate all the work that went into this, but the deck seems to group countries with similar first letters (for instance, you have to learn the difference between Bulgaria, Belarus, and Belgium at pretty much the same time)
This is needlessly confusing. It would be better to learn one at a time

Great basis to improve on or even to use as is !
restructured the Deck to fit my personnal learning style but never had to add another card to the things.
Says much about the quality of the basis deck.
Thanks a lot sir.

deck has a very good amount of information. it's up to date, provides some helpful notes (like when a capital has recently changed), and has both countries and geographical features.
this deck has made me a real asset for trivia nights, as well as increasing my understanding of the world around me.

This a lovely deck, it gives the information that you need no more no less which is a big positive. Big thanks to the maker for taking the time to make this.

Very good map for learning geography.
One thing: if Curacao and Aruba are both in this map, it seems strange to me for Bonaire not to be included too. Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao are three islands next to each other all owned by the Netherlands so I would not add 2 of them but then leave 1 of them out.

The information is very detailed and covers as much of the area as possible, but the information on the sea, islands etc. is clearly incomplete yet. It is also difficult for people without background to remember so many places, it will be better if adding more background information to aid memory. But in any case, the templates and materials provided here are very helpful for learning geography and Anki cards

this is a great deck, but I see one issue with it - flags on my Xiaomi phone with android and MIUI systems have the wrong colorous when Dark mode is set on the phone. For example, the Niue flag is pink, instead of dark blue. To resolve that I had to exclude Anki from having system dark mode and I enabled the dark mode in the app itself. That resolved the problem.

Thank youuuu so much !

A massive amount of knowledge has built into this deck. This will keep me occupied for a long time

Awesome deck. Would be even better if map images would have neighbors countries' names appear on the map

Deck incrível, mas já faz 8 meses que foi lançada a última versão (v5.0) e ela nem vem com a tradução pra português... eu abri até uma Discução sobre remoção do pt-br na descrição do site no GITHUB (porque é triste ver o deck Português na descrição no Github sendo que não há o deck em português pra download).
Bem. Foi informado que o deck vai sair na nova versão (https://github.com/anki-geo/ultimate-geography/discussions/550).
Mas queria uma previsão de quando ela vai sair... plissssssssssssss acelera um pouquinho o upload do deck em Português :(

Nice!

This deck is fantastic. However, The extended version as well as all the language versions are broken, because CrowdAnki is broken in the current new version. Time for an update
on
finished all thousand cards... The only thing I do not fully know is when it's a country and when it's only a territory that is owned / claimed by a country. It is always written in the info tab, I wish it would be a seperate field. So I would be asked for example which countries are being grouped in melanesia for example.

Simply astounding! This will really help with quiz bowl, thanks!

Love it but it's missing Bonaire, Montserrat and some information about Martinique. Aruba and Curacao are included so it's weird that Bonaire isn't. I'm assuming it's just an oversight however and I hope it'll be rectified in the next update.

Loved it!

Made in a thorough manner and with a nice design, perfect for anyone to learn

such highly quality wow
on
Absolutely amazing job by the authors of this deck!
I don't use the last version, so after months of learning that deck I decided to separate the flags by myself in another deck.
Might reach the end of this deck in a few week as I'm going slowly and learn because it's fun!
Understand things clearly since I know where the countries are.
There's also some islands that is a little boring to learn, but still didn't convince myself no to learn them.

I too would have liked audio for each response (since I'm not a native English speaker, nor is there a UG deck in my language), but it's not essential, I guess.
Edit: Never mind, I used the AwesomeTTS addon to generate audio for each note 🔉.

The maps are clear. I love the ordering of the cards -- countries from the same continent are consecutive, but *not* adjacent countries, which seems to help my memorize them. Thanks for all the work you put into this!

This deck is awesome. It took me three and a half months to learn all the cards in this deck, but I enjoyed the journey and it was definitely worth the effort. It's really well put together and honestly I can't think of any flaws with it.
Perhaps in the future, they could make subdecks for each country, so that you can learn the geography of each country. Also, if there were a subdeck for things like geographical features, like mountain ranges, major rivers, geographic regions, that would be pretty neat.

Simply put, this is one of the best and most well-maintained shared decks out there. The only fault is that it doesn't cover more geographic details.

Every child should learn this when they are in primary school. Saves a lot of time and potential embarrassment later on. Thank you so much! P.S. Would you please upload this deck in the four other languages onto Anki? Am having a hard time figuring out the instructions on github...

"You can put this deck on steroids by inserting the following snippet at the bottom of the answer HTML for each template ("Cards..." in editor or browser). Your answers will show the corresponding Wikipedia article for each answer. This really helped me find connections and learn faster.
<iframe src="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{{Country}}" style="height: 100vh; width:100%;" seamless="seamless"></iframe>
-- replace {{Country}} with {{Capital}} for Country -> Capital card type
-- if your deck is in another language, swap the "en" in the wikipedia link for your language (e.g. "de" for german)"

Excellent Deck, perhaps the only one I ever found by browsing shared decks that's more than a mere novelty. Unfortunately, the process for getting the fdifferent language and extended ones is beyond me -- I kept getting errors with the CrowdAnki add-on that was made required to install the other versions of this Ultimate Geography. That's both sad and frustrating as heck. If anyone managed to get around such a restriction... please, share.
on
Excellent

One of the few really good shared decks, amazing for what it does. I'd personally like if it included audio, but that's a personal preference.

Excellent quality in images, which would be a pain to do on you own. Well updated and very thorough.

Definitely my favorite Anki deck that I have gone through. My nitpicky complaint is that my computer won't let me update 3.3 version from 3.2 and I don't want to delete it and start over again.
Possible suggestions for improving the decks...
-Add other geographical features like rivers, mountains or mountain ranges, add more disputed/autonomous regions of the world (not sure what the inclusion criteria are for this deck), add administrative divisions like states or provinces for some countries, add currency or languages.
Again, this is a great deck and very helpful if you want to learn basic world geography. Maybe if the creator of this deck wants to take my add-on suggestions they might be better as additional decks instead of increasing the cards on this deck (if the creator does create more decks please inform me because I want to download those as well).

My singular (minor) complaint is that some of the countries look elongated in the pictures. For example, in the South Africa picture, it looks a lot taller than it actually is.

Overall very good. Personally I'd appreciate slightly more detailed or otherwise distinguished maps of the Caribbean. I can't tell if a map is showing Anguilla or Sint Maarten. I added pronunciations to a handful of countries and capitals that'd be otherwise a bit tricky. (ouagadougou etc.)

I had avoided shared decks for 2 years of Anki usage (due to recommendations), however this one got my attention.
It's a high quality deck which you can further customize by creating a couple of more cards from what's already given by axelboc's valuable effort.
For example, test yourself on "what's this" and you'd only get an image of a continent/ocean/sea/city/municipality or "which flag is this" and you'd only get an image of a flag with country/capital on the other side (more cards of a thing = better for memorization).
The reason it's also worth downloading is that there is not much you can personally change regarding geography.
Usually, it's recommended to make your own cards but this is clearly an exception to the rule.
I mean, what's so personal that you can do regarding geography? It's a collection of different facts and places on the map…
One way I found to add value to this deck is to include original Forvo pronunciations of countries/cities/etc.
It's also really fun if you're a foreign language learner, so you can get a glimpse of that original Dutch pronunciation of “Oranjestad” or “Kralendijk”.
On top of that, the card template allows you to add “personal hints”, so you could that French friend's name when asked about Paris/France (scientifically shown to aid memory).
Anyways, great deck, definitively worth downloading!

A deck for everyone! Very well made and almost flawless.
I have some advice for studying with this deck though:
1) Turn off burying, since this will, e.g., bury a Flag►Country card, when you just learned the Country►Capital counterpart, which is absurd.
2) Instead, suspend one direction of each pair. I found Country►Flag, Country►Map and Capital►Country to be the less useful / more difficult half of the deck. You can unsuspend them when you are comfortable with the first half of the deck.
3) Make sure to add new cards in the preset order. It helps to get a grasp of countries you have never heard of, when you get multiple pieces of information about them at the same time. The same is true for the borders of unfamiliar continents, because you will not only see all cards of one note consecutively, but countries are also clustered geographically.

Is there anyway to just study Map to Country

Great!!!
Some things to note: Countries like Swaziland have actually changed their name and are now called Eswatini for example, so beware that there are some errors but they are few and wide! Great tool for learning all countries, capitals, locations and flags

Favorite Geography Deck of all time.
Went from Geographically illiterate to more knowledgeable than most people in a few months.
My only gripes is the fact that the capitals are somewhat useless to know... I suspend most of those cards on purpose.
It would be nice if the deck focused on something more important like current presidents/leaders, but of course that would require more updating.
Also if there was a higher emphasis on culturally significant regions.
Regardless, still the best deck for Geography.

I'm using an older version but felt compelled to give a thumbs up rating, because I'm enjoying the deck!
I would also like an option to sort by population. I do not think this would hinder long term memorization as another commentor suggested.
I suspended all the capital cards because I'm not interested in learning those. This was easy to do because the deck is well organized!

The deck is simply fantastic and I have not much to say about it that hasn't been already said.
Anyway, I want to answer one of the previous commentaries about it: The one that suggests to sort countries by population.
It is not bad idea if you want to name/recognize just the most important countries, but it can become incredible more difficult to grasp the last few thousands of cards, so if you want to complete the full journey, the difficulty will overall increase, so I think that's a must-not change.

Absolutely brilliant, and a great improvement on version 1.0.
The older version had odd filters on the flags which distorted the colours.
This newer one also has improvements in accuracy and it appears to have a few more cards and countries the other one was missing.
Very impressed - it is the most useful deck on this entire website.
Everyone should study this deck and improve their knowledge of the world

Really good - but it would be better if the countries where sorted by population/size
It's kinda annoying to start with some extremely small islands if you hadn't had the more important ones.
I've currently seen 2/3rds of the cards and only saw 3 countries in continental Africa, no country in continental America (north and south) and no only a few countries from Asia/Ozeania (the only big one being the Philippines) - I force-learned European countries through a custom study since I already knew almost all about those.

One of the best deck

goodie

A comprehensive and (as far as I can see) accurate deck. I also like that it's possible to correct it via Github.

This is amazing! Thank you so much! It's a huge deck, but thanks to the good tagging I can just start out with Europe and work from there.

Great deck!
Suggestions:
1)
When I learned capital some years ago I memorised 'Mbabane' as the capital of Swaziland.
This deck says it's 'Lobamba', so I checked Wikipedia. It lists them both: Lobamba as legislative and Mbabane as executive.
You could consider adding Mbabane or just a note explaining it like with South Africa :)

2)
Same thing with a note for Sri Lanka
3)
Being from Denmark I couldn't help but noticed how horribly disfigured Denmark is on the map of the Baltic Sea.
It turns out that the picture is actually of the now gone 'Ancylus Lake' and therefore over 10.000 years old.

Here's a better picture of the Baltic Sea with no name, maybe it's useful:

Amazing deck! Thanks for sharing!

I greatly appreciate this deck and the work that went into it. I was looking for a deck for learning countries (Map->Country), but this deck helped push me to learn more than that (Country->Capital, Capital->Country, Flag->Country).
At the end, though, I found that the one-way Map->Country and Flag-Country cards left me with a number of leech cards and closely-related cards that I couldn't keep straight. Countries with similar flags were a lot of trouble (ex. New Zealand/Australia, Curaçao/Nauru, Palestine/Sudan, Andorra/Moldova), I never quite got the relative locations of various island nations down pat, and while I could easily recognize, say, Uganda or Hungary on a map, I wouldn't be able to tell you what other countries they bordered.
The conclusion is that, to master this deck and to have a reasonably accurate world map in my head (which is the goal, no?), I really needed to also learn cards for Country->Flag and Country->Map relations too. Adding these cards to the deck forced me to verbally explain what each country's flag looks like and what countries they border.
This yields 50% more cards to study, but also dramatically improves the benefit that I get from this deck.

Great job
This is the most comprehensive geography deck on AnkiWeb, by far. Thanks for putting in all this work to keep it updated and maintained.
