Countries by Antipodal Land
Fill in the countries of the world by naming the country that controls the closest land to the antipode of their capitals. Hints in the comments - beware of spoilers!
Includes all territories. For example, the closest land to the antipode of Luanda is Palmyra Atoll, so "United States" will fill in Angola.
If a country has multiple capitals, the land closest to the antipode of any of them will work.
Some judgement calls have had to be made - for the most part, if it looks like land on Google Maps, I've counted it.
For disputed territories, I used Wikipedia's "administrated by." For Antarctica, type "Antarctica" or the pre-Antarctic Treaty claimant if there is one.

1) Guess countries with lots of overseas territories.
2) There's nothing even close to New Zealand to the East.
3) Uninhabited rocks do count, but they're almost always close to inhabited land.
4) Lots and lots of islands - only a handful of antipodes are on or close to continental landmasses.
