The Odd Country Out

Pick the country that sticks out the most. The questions will not have unique information; only unique answer choices. Try to determine a specific reason why one doesn't belong; not just, "Country D is the smallest" or things like that. Remember that I picked these specific countries for a reason. And yes, it is subjective, that's just how this has to work.
If you think a question has more than one answer, comment it, and I'll try to change it.
This quiz is open for suggestions for new questions.

Thanks for this quiz - predictably, it contains some contentious questions. My FB:

1. Eswatini is also in Africa, but it is the only country that borders more than one other country

9. Turkey is also the only country that was not part of the USSR.

10. Ecuador is the only country that does not border both Pacific and Atlantic (via Caribbean).

13. That’s a very tough one, IMO. If you remove either Mongolia or Armenia, the remaining one would be the only land-locked country.

14. Your answer explanation refers to Denmark when it should refer to Cyprus.

Q1 and Q14 I must have messed up when changing them from TigerPi's suggestion. And I'll add your suggestions.

That's a good point, but I can't really think of a good combination of the following (San Marino, Vatican City, Monaco, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg). If you have a good suggestion, I'll consider it, but for now, I'm gonna keep it as is.
