It was fun but going from Nepal to Tanzania via Russia, Germany, Morocco, Congo is pretty bad route. Just take a bus to Mumbai and from there, a Ship to Dar es Salaam. =P

I would if I want to climb mountain then dream about annexing everyone, join someone on trip to Ukraine, deal with neighbors' shite, go hair transplant, yadayada, hail someone while having macaroon sitting at Nou Camp, not recognize my souther people's identity, deal with Gaddafi;s shite, get into trouble with militancy in Sahel, enter the largest poor country. And all this just to see Mufasa. :0

"Possessions" sounds a bit strange - wouldn't exclaves (or are they enclaves) be better?

Its name describes its geographical

position in the continent.

SOUTH AFRICA is equal valid as CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC. Both are refering to geographical locations in the continent.

Good thought, but South Sudan doesn't fit the clue as well, and more importantly it doesn't border Chad (although it's close; I had to double-check on a map to be sure that was true)

No one has adequately explained why South Africa doesn't work for #18.

The question is: "Its name describes its geographical position on the continent." CAR works (as it is in the center of the continent), but SA also works (as it is at the very south of the continent).

The responses, when asked why SA doesn't work, are: "South African borders neither Chad nor the DRC whereas the CAR does"... or simply "no." These are not sufficient explanations.

Does anyone have an adequate explanation?

Seriously? It has most definitely been explained. Maybe we should all just let you think about why South Africa doesn't work in THAT location on THIS quiz, centralized entirely between 17 and 19.

you should accept "Australia" as an answer for the question about a country named after their geographical location in the world ( it's derived from the Latin Terra Australis which means “southern land”)

"All the countries border the ones that come before and after." The "before" country is Chad, and the "after" country is D. R. Congo, neither of which border Australia.
