Somalia is located in the Horn of Africa, with coastlines along the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. It borders Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Much of the country consists of arid and semi-arid plains and plateaus, while the northern regions include mountain ranges and the south contains fertile land along major rivers.

Somalia is traditionally divided into 18 administrative regions, known as gobollada. These include regions along the northern coast, inland areas bordering Ethiopia, and southern regions extending toward Kenya and the Indian Ocean.

Banaadir contains Mogadishu, the national capital. The northern regions include Awdal, Woqooyi Galbeed, Togdheer, Sanaag, and Sool, while Bari and Nugaal lie farther east. In southern Somalia, the Shabelle and Juba rivers flow through regions that include some of the country's most important agricultural areas.

This quiz covers Somalia's 18 traditional administrative regions. Their relationship to the country's federal member states and other governing authorities is complex, but learning their locations provides a useful introduction to Somalia's administrative and physical geography.
