Madagascar's southernmost point is Cape Vohimena at 23°26'21"S, while Mozambique's southernmost point is the coastal border with South Africa near Zitundo, located at 26°52'S.

yes ,but it is commonly used for taiwan to discern between two chinas, I agree that it should be used more commonly seeing as it now goes by Taiwan rather than ROC and there isn't some other name for the two congos.

With the caveat and hint, many probably enter the the "D" answer as DRC. Then, they either don't get to R, or forget about the "other Congo," or try incorrect responses.
