Countries Bigger Than Their Neighbors

Good quiz, could proably do with a little more time, 30 seconds perhaps

Awesome quiz and thanks for the link! Also, try it with a map here.

I get Nicaragua and not Brazil

Interesting concept...missed Nicaragua and Iran

Those were the last two I got.

Surprised how few African countries make it.

The DRC is absolutely giant and borders like 20 different countries

I think that if France is not in the list because of its border with Brazil, then the UK should not be on the list either because of its border between Gibraltar and Spain.

you're right!

Except French Guiana is like Hawaii while Gibraltar is like Puerto Rico, Hawaii is always considered a part of The US, while Puerto Rico is definitely a territory.

Yeah wiifly is right. French Guiana is part of constituent France even though it is not directly connected to the bigger main part. Like the continental US with Alaska.

UK is larger than Ireland, also.

Are the countries supposed to be in alphabetical order?

Overseas territories are not included.

Saudi Arabia and South Africa are the wrong way round

South Africa and Saudi Arabia ............. feel better now?

No, Saudi Africa and South Arabia

Drop that hundo! 100%!!!

Everyone has them. You must've found one someone else dropped.

Belgium is smaller than Germany, Spain is smaller than France, France is smaller than Brazil (French Guyana borders Brazil) and Italy is smaller than France

that way nearly all the countries make the quiz...

Very creative quiz! I only missed Nicaragua

make one for the countries that are smaller than all their neighbors! (now that I've typed it out, I'm sure you're already working on one)

Isn't French Guinea an overseas territory though and they aren't included in the quiz?

It does say overseas regions are included in the quiz but I think French Guinea is classed as an overseas territory.

@Brenno. You guys have the Us for no reason. I don’t have a say in what other nations do with their Us, but the way you stated your comment was in a somewhat offensive way.

cool quiz!

Not saying it's incorrect but Tanzania does not share a land border with the Congo. I guess technically below Lake Tanganyika there is land but at no point can you walk from the Congo to Tanzania which to me denotes a "Land Border" as the instructions read. For most of the length of the border you can't even see the other shore. Should Tanzania be counted? If you say no what would you say if Lake Tanganyika extended south to Lake Malawi and ran 200 miles further south and made a path all the way to the Indian Ocean. Thus making Tanzania a peninsula

That's an interesting point. Let me ask another question--does Iowa border Illinois? I believe they are completely separated by the Mississippi river, and there is no point where you can walk from Iowa to Illinois (without crossing a bridge, and we know those don't count.)

10/10 with 2:09 seconds remaining. Thank God it's alphabetical!

The only country Denmark borders, Germany, is bigger than metropolitan Denmark. (JetPunk doesn't include Greenland as part of Denmark in quizzes about area because it is autonomous)

Gibraltar belongs to uk and borders Spain.... and I’m pretty sure spain is bigger than the uk

Overseas territories are not included

Yes got them all! 12 seconds to spare, didnt think I would get there. Awesome quiz. Really works your brain hard :)

Last one i got was saudi arabia btw. And I cant believe dominican republic and nicaragua scored that much lower than the rest. For the first one, it had to be either that or haiti. And for central america they are all in a line, so one of them has to be on there. (unless the were in a exact descending order of size)

Good quiz to get the gray matter going this gorgeous morning.

Canada is bigger. It has a ton of land to the far north where very (like...very, very) few people live, but that's all Canadian land.

Fresh water is regularly included in a country's land area, even when it's not USA versus Canada.

Canada is the second largest country in the world. USA doesn't have to be in everything

Because it's smaller than Iran.

Americans are probably killing themselves after not seeing themselves on here, I mean, name one thing America isn’t in..

Highest IQ of most recent (non-current) heads of state? 🤔😜🤣

Wouldn't Germany/France/Spain be there.

Germany and Spain border France, which is bigger than both, and France borders Brazil, which is... weird, but still a thing.

The awkward moment when China, India and the US aren't there, but the Dominican Republic is.

LOL

same haha

France really needs to give up that part of its territory so that us quiz-takers can feel more satisfied lol.

Wow somehow got them all with 44 seconds remaining this time around

Very cool quiz.

A quiz about obscure information you can do well on without previously knowing that obscure information! Amazing!

You forgot France because France is bigger than Spain, Andorra, Monaco, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium

I am really tired with people starting irrational complaints with “you forgot”. The Quizmaster spends countless hours reviewing quizzes, and he wont “forget”. I bet that most of the time people know the answer, but just start with “you forgot” anyway; for example “You forgot Cyprus”, in a quiz with Cyprus arguments left and right. A better way to word your complaint is “should France be included?” Or “what about France”. Just saying.

I really think Denmark should be included here. Greenland is a constituent country of Denmark and should be treated the same as any of the French overseas regions.

Why did I think that Iran bordered Saudi Arabia🤦

France?
