Countries in a Ring of the World Map

Given a donut ring of the world map below, can you name all the countries that have territory shown on the ring? (Not the countries inside the central white)
There are no answer boxes on purpose! The map is your only resource to name all the countries!
You also need to name the external territory featured. Both its name or the country it belongs to are accepted.

Start by guessing some of the "big" countries, eg USA, Russia, Australia etc. You're pretty much guaranteed to get one right pretty quickly and that would give you a starting point. I like this quiz idea!

"Can you name all the countries that have territory inside the ring?" Shouldn't you have to mention Denmark since Greenland is shown?
+2
Level 68
Mar 10, 2018
Denmark is a required answer! Although since Greenland is shown and not Denmarks mainland, Greenland is also a valid answer!

Though, it's pretty much a given, these days, that - when on JetPunk - 'countries' means 'sovereign states'.

I'm curious what shape this would actually be on a globe. I assume it would not be a circle anymore, right? Along those lines, it would be cool to have a quiz like this where the map shown is actually the border of a hemisphere as seen when looking at a globe -- the projection would be different and might make it more of a challenge. That being said, this is a great quiz!
