Trace the Coast of Afro-Eurasia with a Map

Starting from the northernmost point of mainland Afro-Eurasia, going clockwise, trace the outline of the countries by correctly naming each country along the way.

Read the caveats!

You might have to name a country multiple times.
Oversea territories are excluded. Hence Gibraltar, and Spanish territories in Africa aren't valid
Inspired by Trace the Coast of Europe with a Map quiz by Jiaozira!

I would’ve wanted overseas territories to be included though. It would be way more interesting and challenging in regions like Morocco, Crimea and the Kaliningrad area.
GeoPhilia

Kaliningrad and Crimea are not excluded here, only Gibraltar and Spanish Territories in Africa are, as Kaliningrad and Crimea(according to JetPunk) are oblasts of Russia. And being honest, it wouldn't have been challenging with them around Morocco as it would only be naming Morocco and Spain alternatively for 4-5 times each. And I think with this successive repetition of answers, it would become a bit boring for quiztakers. That's why they are specifically mentioned in caveat.

Yes, I know that Kaliningrad and Crimea weren’t excluded. But what I meant was that some features in both regions like the Curonian Spit and the Arabat Spit, respectively, are split between two countries, and including them would require repeating the countries’ names’ in an unexpected sequence and amount of times. And for the Spanish territories in Morocco, yes, I know that it might bore some people to repeat the names several times, but I personally find doing so interesting cause I sometimes forget about some obscure ones like Peñon Velez de la Gomera. I guess this is just a personal preference of mine because I could learn a thing or two like those spits I mentioned above. I should’ve been more specific in my original comment. :DD

I had to remember that the International Court of Jetpunk has recognized Russia's seizure of Crimea, but not their setting up the Republic of Abkhazia (or it would have gone Georgia-Abkhazia-Russia along the Black Sea). Keeping up with ICJ rulings can be tricky.

True, only a Jetpunk map would show this quiz's sequence. A Russian map would go Georgia-Abkhazia-Russia-Ukraine-Russia-Ukraine-Romania. A European or American map would go Georgia-Russia-Ukraine-Romania.

In general there seems to be no fundamental legal differences between states such as Kosovo, Abkhasia, and Palestine. Depending on your general set of legal norms you may see all of them be something between "occupied territories" or "souvereign states". As long as you do it consistently. Thus, I don't understand why JP recognises Kosovo and (here) Abkhazia but not Palestine.

Sort of criteria: Russia controls Crimea, Kosovo controls most of its territory and has partial recognition, Abkhazia lacks recognition, Palestine lacks control.

All mentioned states/affiliations are partially recognised/disputed. (And Palestine controls the larger part of "its" territory, doesn't it?)

Crimea is part of Ukraine not Russia. Russia is illegally occupying it. A significant majority of the world's countries have made it clear that they recognise that Crimea is a part of Ukraine.

It is not that hard, first I took the JetPunk standard map of world, and deleted countries not in this quiz, including landlocked countries landlocked countries of Afro-Eurasia. Then I selected all countries and converted the them to stroke directly by an option in inkspace. It gave me the boundry of these countries, including their inland borders. After that, I drew a custom line intersecting the stroke of a country at the two points where the border of that country touches both coast and another country. For example, China, I drew the line such that it intersects where the coast meets South Korea and Vietnam. Then I selected stroke of China and the custom line and used 'Cut Path' option from path tab (Shortcut Key: ctrl+alt+/). It divided the stroke of China into two parts, one which represents coast and one which represents all land borders of China. I deleted the border stroke which left me with only the coast of China. I had to do this with every coastal country, ...

... and multiple times with countries such as Saudi Arabia, which have multiple coasts.

Another thing one can do is trace the entire coast, but it would be very lengthy, and what I did would be more efficient. My process might seem hard at once, but after doing it with 5-6 countries, it will become pretty easy.

For me, it took me around 6-7 hours, over the span of 3 days, to make this SVG, but the first couple hours were just me trying to figure out how to do this by trial and error. If I knew from the beginning how to do this, it would have taken me about half the time.

I could have, but I didn't wanted to. What I did might seem very lengthy at once, but it isn't. Once you have converted every country to stroke, all you need to do is draw a line and press a combination of keys, and repeat it until the map is ready.

I think many people did. The scores are gradual all the way through, but it makes a sudden 5 % drop after DR Congo. (Meaning, like me, people didn't get Angola (Cabinda)> I still need to look up what it is..) I must have guessed every african country at that spot haha. I did not understand Why I couldn't get it.

Next time I should think, when the obvious ones don't work, just try the previous country... (I was fine around saudi arabia)

Btw I think some people might have worked backwards/continued from a random spot because for instance morocco and turkey are guessed more than angola (cabinda).

It's been Russian for 10 years. Russia controls the taxes, borders, movement of goods and people. You, and I, don't have to like it, but that's reality. Same goes for the lower third (or whatever you'd like to describe it) of what was once Ukraine, prior to 2022.

Either you're willing to do what it takes to retake the land by force, or via politics. So far, 40-50 of the most advanced countries on the planet have demonstrated via their actions that they are not willing to do that. And we've seen the largest successful forceful annexation of land, with Russia as the victor, since something like Western Sahara.

Any other argument, imo, is debasing oneself into furthering a political agenda. Or you can travel to Luhansk with your Ukrainian passport and see what happens.

There exists a world beyond the USA, beyond democracies of Europe. Wishing events away will not change reality. It's just a soma for personal cognitive dissonance.

Tibet is not China's.
