I think that if France is not in the list because of its border with Brazil, then the UK should not be on the list either because of its border between Gibraltar and Spain.
Except French Guiana is like Hawaii while Gibraltar is like Puerto Rico, Hawaii is always considered a part of The US, while Puerto Rico is definitely a territory.
Yeah wiifly is right. French Guiana is part of constituent France even though it is not directly connected to the bigger main part. Like the continental US with Alaska.
Even if overseas territories were included, Hans Island off the coast of Greenland is divided between Denmark and Canada. Canada has a greater landmass than Denmark.
Belgium is smaller than Germany, Spain is smaller than France, France is smaller than Brazil (French Guyana borders Brazil) and Italy is smaller than France
@Brenno. You guys have the Us for no reason. I don’t have a say in what other nations do with their Us, but the way you stated your comment was in a somewhat offensive way.
Not saying it's incorrect but Tanzania does not share a land border with the Congo. I guess technically below Lake Tanganyika there is land but at no point can you walk from the Congo to Tanzania which to me denotes a "Land Border" as the instructions read. For most of the length of the border you can't even see the other shore. Should Tanzania be counted? If you say no what would you say if Lake Tanganyika extended south to Lake Malawi and ran 200 miles further south and made a path all the way to the Indian Ocean. Thus making Tanzania a peninsula
That's an interesting point. Let me ask another question--does Iowa border Illinois? I believe they are completely separated by the Mississippi river, and there is no point where you can walk from Iowa to Illinois (without crossing a bridge, and we know those don't count.)
This quiz was a total nightmare! Come on - how can China not ... Oh! So OK how come India ... Ah .... so what about US ... oops! Every time you think you have thought of one another one knocks it out. GREAT QUIZ
The only country Denmark borders, Germany, is bigger than metropolitan Denmark. (JetPunk doesn't include Greenland as part of Denmark in quizzes about area because it is autonomous)
Last one i got was saudi arabia btw. And I cant believe dominican republic and nicaragua scored that much lower than the rest. For the first one, it had to be either that or haiti. And for central america they are all in a line, so one of them has to be on there. (unless the were in a exact descending order of size)
I am really tired with people starting irrational complaints with “you forgot”. The Quizmaster spends countless hours reviewing quizzes, and he wont “forget”. I bet that most of the time people know the answer, but just start with “you forgot” anyway; for example “You forgot Cyprus”, in a quiz with Cyprus arguments left and right. A better way to word your complaint is “should France be included?” Or “what about France”. Just saying.
I really think Denmark should be included here. Greenland is a constituent country of Denmark and should be treated the same as any of the French overseas regions.
If counted as such, it then borders Canada at this island long contested during the Whiskey War, now split in half. Which wouldn't change the results for this quiz.
Wait, if Sudan is on the list, is has a border with Democratic Republic of the Congo, which implies Sudan is bigger, yet D.R.C. is also on the list, so it is bigger than Sudan, which is bigger than D.R.C. WHAT??
I would like to inform you of the fact that Iran should come after Indonesia in this quiz because R comes after N in the alphabet. I did not get 100% on this quiz because of this stupid mistake
SPain is bigger than ANdorra
France is bigger than Monaco
Italy is bigger than San Marino
(I like it even more because I got it right first try)
also when i wa typing doc i typd dr for Dominican Republic which was one of the answers
