So Russia, the biggest country on earth and the country with the fourth longest coastline, has a third of the amount of islands as Laos, a landlocked country?

Something doesn't feel right lol

Nice quiz. Only problem is that I typed in Denmark and still got DRC correct. There may be a problem with the type-ins. Still, as I said before, nice quiz.
