Zyrgyzstan? That's a new one, especially as it's supposed to begin with "K". Also, how can Andorra be closer to Switzerland than Austria when the latter two border one another.

It's because you look at the distance between capital cities (as it says in the notes).

Argh, after reading about Zyrgyzstan I assumed there was another typo as Mexico wasn't working for Suriname but I was wrong!

Typo is fixed. It's amazing that I check these more than once and still have typos make it through.

And I was surprised by Suriname as well, but I double-checked: it's not even really close. 4465 vs. 4988.

Yes. Keep in mind I used distance between capitals.
