I’ve written an interactive world map quiz (using HTML5), you can see it
here:

I have offered to let the khanacademy use it on their website as a educational tool but they are concerned about the copyright of the border data that I scrounged up on the web.

I’m wondering what would be the easiest way to extract the country border data from the openstreetmap’s data?
The previous border data I used was in KML format and I wrote my own c++ program to reduce it down to ~17,000 points.
Thanks
Kevin
