Nice quiz. I didn't know that, but I guessed and got them. Now I know something new.

The Tropics are the limits between which it is possible for the sun to be directly overhead at least once in a year - the kind of opposite of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, which are the limits past which it is possible for the sun to not rise at all at least once per year.

I agree but it is not surprising when you realise that only 32% of land is South of the Equator compared to 68% North of the Equator.

Jerry, I think France is in because of the Reunion Island, I think it goes throught the EEZ of the Island. So I don't know if you can consider that.

Yes indeed! For this quiz, the instructions specify countries whose land mass is transited by the Tropic.

Since the Tropic of Capricorn is moving, you'll have to add Bolivia and Zimbabwe at some point. Not for some thousands of years, though. ;)
