I enjoyed this so much.
Having been geography ignorant for too long, I decided educate myself with this puzzle.
When I printed this out, I increased the height of each piece from 3mm to 10mm to make the pieces easier to handle (and remove from the build plate).
I'm proud to say that after a handful of attempts, I can assemble the puzzle without a map to guide me and I've even managed to memorize the names of the countries.
The only inconveniences are that
a. There isn't a frame, and
b. The tiny countries are kind of hard for big clumsy fingers to manipulate.
Very educational.
