Somehow, the UK still managed to colonize most of these countries.

I think its the dingly bit near the Iguazu Waterfalls that juts out further than Uruguay does. Brazil is the only other country that borders Uruguay & that's massive, so that eliminates it

Hi! I am curious which tool do you use for these measures? I have some tests in mind regarding closest/furthest cities, but I am having a headache on how to not spend several days measuring the distances one by one. Also, depending on the webpage or tool I use, I get different distances. Is there any "jetpunk standard" for this? Thanks!
