My goal is to learn all countries in the world, where they are located and their capitals. Does anyone know of any good program (like a digital atlas)that quizes you on it.

Just use books or CIA nation files.

In my country we learn during junior high-school. I remember using an atlas and listed each continent's countries with its capital. Once I knew them all I read a map with their location written and tried to replace them on a blind map.

The problem I only found out is there are countries that use not only one name, but two.

No idea, but if you pick up games like World Empire 2, you'll learn what's where and who shares borders pretty quickly just to stay competitive.

You americans do not learn world geography at school?

the in depth geography classes are usually optional, whereas American History (meaning: reovlutionary war, civil war, WWI, WWII) are mandatory.

If you ever do manage to learn your Geography, I'd suggest keeping it a secret from any non-americans you know as they'll assume that any american with knowledge of the wider world works for the CIA.

Sure no, but if you tell me a country I can tell where it is.

My high school geography teacher roxed:
"First question, tell me the demographics* of Kenya."

*charasteristics of the population, economy, ...
