Also expected Kuwait, but its coastline is considerably longer than its straight-across dimension due to islands. Presumably, island components of mainland countries are not excluded.

Does the length for Equatorial Guinea include its islands, or is it just the mainland?

Unfortunately at this point the coastline includes islands. If anyone has a source that excludes islands, let me know.
