We don't usually see Western Sahara listed as a country in these quizzes, nice to see it get a mention.

Please read the instructions. Bonus question: how many countries have recognized Morocco's invasion of Western Sahara? (Clue: It's less than 1)

I thought there was an agreement between the USA and Morocco where the USA would recognize their invasion of western Sahara and in return they would recognize Israel.

Yep. Indeed they did.

This happened in December 2020, though, so as of when Jerry928 wrote those comments, they were correct. The realpolitik situation has changed since then. (For better or for worse; personally I'm not a fan of this recognition, but since I'm just some rando on the internet, that's neither here nor there.)

San Marino, Italy, VC, France and Monaco are closer than Egypt and Ethiopia?

Yes, they are. It’s all to do with how far north Algeria goes into the Mediterranean, and the fact that Egypt and Ethiopia both have quite large countries between them and Algeria.
