Map Pixels

A nonogram where every picture is a real place: fill the grid by logic, then watch the pixels turn into the true coastline of a country, island or US state, pinned on the world map.

How a puzzle plays

The numbers beside each row and column tell you how many filled cells come in a row. Fill the right cells, mark the empty ones with X, and the hidden place appears.

Finish the grid and the pixels fade into the real outline, then the place lights up on the world map.
Every puzzle has one answer you can reach by logic alone, no guessing. Mistakes cost a star, never the level.
After each solve: the place's capital, area and population from Wikidata, added to your continent album.
A hint explains one row or column and marks the cells that are certain. It never fills the board for you.
