How to draw Saint Vincent and the Grenadines from memory
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines comes in 3 separate pieces on the map. The main body is roughly as wide as it is tall; sketch that first, then place the smaller pieces relative to it. Its border sits in the middle of the difficulty range — enough straight sections to anchor you, enough detail to punish a careless stroke.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
A four-step strategy for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
- 01
Start by fixing the overall footprint. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is close to square overall, so a lopsided sketch loses points fast.
- 02
Anchor one unmistakable feature — the straightest border section or the sharpest cape — and draw outward from it in a single continuous stroke.
- 03
Finish the main landmass completely, then add the remaining 2 pieces as separate strokes. Scoring counts total covered area, so an unclosed island can hurt more than a missing one.
- 04
Submit, read the nine-sector grid, and redraw immediately. The sector readout names the region you under-drew, and a second attempt typically gains 10–20 points.

Three things that go wrong when people sketch Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Each one is measured off the outline the game scores, not copied from a reference atlas: the proportions, the straight sections and the way the shape breaks into pieces are all properties of the coordinates your stroke gets compared against.
9% of the country is not the mainland
The outline is made of 3 separate pieces, and the largest one carries only 91% of the area. Sketched without the rest, the shape is short by that much even when the mainland is perfect — place the outlying piece first, then draw the mainland around it.
The south edge is a ruler line, not a coast
About 17% of the perimeter runs in one unbroken direction along the south. Rivers and capes do not do that; a border was drawn on a map. Straighten it deliberately — a wobbly line there throws the whole bounding box.
Both ends are pinched
The widest slice across the centre is 1.6× broader than either the northern or the southern edge. Place the two narrow ends early and the bulge between them cannot come out wrong.

Open it after you have drawn Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at least once. Seeing the shape first replaces the recall the score is meant to measure with tracing, and tracing always scores higher than remembering.
Why Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is scored this way
Country Drawing does not compare your sketch to a picture of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It scales and centres both your stroke and the real border into the same box, fills them, and measures how much of the two shapes overlap relative to their combined area. That means you are never punished for drawing Saint Vincent and the Grenadines small, off to one side, or rotated slightly — only for getting the shape itself wrong. The nine-sector grid then splits the real border into a 3×3 mesh and reports coverage per cell, which is how it can tell you that you lost the whole eastern edge rather than just handing you a number.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines by the numbers
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines covers 389 km², which makes it the 180th largest of 190 countries in the game and the 20th largest in North America. The capital is Kingstown at about 13°N, 61°W, and it sits in Caribbean. It shares no land border at all, so every metre of the outline you have to draw is coastline.
Next to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: regional peers
Size is what the outline has to fill, so comparing countries of the same region side by side is the fastest way to get the proportions into your head before you draw.
