This quiz uses James Shoal, an outcrop about 22 meters below sea level in Malaysian territorial waters that is claimed by China as their southernmost point

Great but outdated quizz. The following changes should be implemented:

* Swaziland > Eswatini

* Burma > Myanmar

* Macedonia > North Macedonia

* Also, Czechia should be accepted

France and Netherlands are probably listed in wrong place. France should be between Niger and Grenada, at 11°46′S, Point Grande on Mayotte; and Netherlands between Grenada and Yemen, at 12°01′N, Willemstoren lighthouse on Bonaire.

In addition to the above queries, i'd say it either needs a world map with the countries gradually being coloured in, or a longer time limit.
