What's on this map

This map shows 12 sovereign countries plus French Guiana (France) and the Falkland Islands. Every region is a separate shape: tap to color it, or download the blank file as it is.

  • Brazil alone covers about 47% of South America's land area.
  • Bolivia and Paraguay are the continent's two landlocked countries.
  • French Guiana is an overseas region of France, which makes it part of the European Union. In the editor it is labeled France, because Natural Earth draws it as part of France.
