Once I got to 37% total countries identified (seen?), it basically stopped showing me new countries. I went through five or so rounds without seeing anything that I hadn’t seen before. Which was gratifying, since I was getting 20/20 every time, but you might tweak it a little to add in new countries more frequently.

stream of thoughts: "all countries" doesn't really show all countries. It seems all countries might be in the pool, but there is no weighted randomness, so you end up getting the same flags, and only a few new ones. Forcing all flags to be in the same aspect ratio really makes the flags look strange, or rather, not how they really are.

This looks really good, but sometimes it seemed like there was no country to click on for the tiny islands?

For St Lucia, for instance, the closest visible country was (I think) Puerto Rico. I clicked on it, and then it showed me where St Lucia was in the middle of the black ocean. As far as I could tell, even zooming in, there was morning to click on there.

Same thing happened with Micronesia. There are very few islands in the Pacific visible.
