Overview

Challenge your self to read novels that are set in countries from around the world. 

To make the list I used Wikipedias “list of countries and territories ranked by population (UN)”. 

For each “UN continental region” on the list I picked the 10 most populous countries, except for Oceania where I only used the 3 most populous countries (Oceania is much smaller than the other regions). 

The remaining countries were divided into “UN statistical sub-regions” from the same list. For some sub-region I made only one ‘multiple choice’ prompt, for others I made several, depending on the number of countries they represented. For each “UN continental region” I made 8 of these sub-regional prompts, except Oceania where I made only 3. 

Promt # 1 - 18 are novels set i  Africa
Promt #19 - 36 are novels set in the Americas
Promt #37 - 54 are novels set in Asia
Promt #55 - 72 are novels set in Europe
Promt #73 - 78 are novels set in Oceania 

The two last prompts “on the water” and “In the air” represents the travel over water that you would have to do if actually circumnavigation the world. 

The greater part of the novel must be set in one of the countries/territories mentioned in the prompt. The author does not have to be from that country/territory. 

Happy Travels 

Update march 2022: To ease the process when adding a book, prompts with more than one country have been rephrased so the country names are specified in the main text and the group name in the help text instead of vice versa. No countries have been added or removed. No countries have been moved to a different prompt than originally.
