Wow! Awesome geography games! They have different levels for countries, continents, etc. I especially like the 'type 3 letters' level. http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/

Many questions revolve around what borders what. Become a geography expert! So here is a world map and a trivia question. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html (it's a big file) A landlocked country is a nation with no access to the oceans (even via a connecting sea like the Mediterranean). Only two nations in the world are double landlocked, meaning they are landlocked and only border other landlocked nations. What two nations?

Try out the map games here. They have Mid East, Africa, and US States games. http://www.addictinggames.com/newsgames.html
