Topological Map of Asia Quiz

A topological map is a type of diagram that has been simplified so that only vital information, such as borders, remains and unnecessary detail, such as size and shape, has been removed. Fill in this map of Asia by correctly guessing each highlighted country.
Does not include island nations except those touching other mainland countries (i.e. Brunei)
The black areas represent large bodies of water
If two countries have the exact same borders (i.e., Nepal and Bhutan), make your decision based on general geography (e.g., Nepal is closer to Pakistan)

Maybe you could give a help for the distinction between PNG and East Timor? As far as I see it, it is not really covered by the hint for Nepal/Bhutan. Apart from that, I really love the quiz. Thank you!

You're right, the distinction is pretty arbitrary, but I would just base it on the fact that PNG is further East than East Timor, so it must be the shape on the right. I'll try to think of a way to make this more clear though. Thanks!

Yet another case of "only on Jetpunk". 41% of people have got a full score on a quiz like that. It's amazing.

Great quiz as always! I only mixed up Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan - it was difficult for me to rotate them in my head accordingly

I got them right but for me Uzbekistan and Tajikistan took a bit longer, I left them till last, it clicked after only 1 or 2 seconds, but I didn't immediately "see" it like with the others (those somehow feel like on a normal map to me, probably in part to do with (un)familiarity of the region)

I got them by remembering that Uzbekistan is doubly landlocked and so only borders other landlocked nations, meaning it's the one in the middle.

Same. I assumed Uzbekistan would be the top one since it’s further north, but Turkmenistan is the only one that actually works there.
