Note to self, read the disclaimers before you start. I couldn't get the last answer and was amazed when Egypt came up. Then I saw your note. Doh!

Same here too. I only tried Egypt because I couldn't think of any other country around 91 millions people in the vaguery surrounding area, and when it got accepted I immediately knew there had to have been a disclairmer.... and indeed, there was.

Somehow I didn't remember it went as far south as South Africa. I don't know what I thought was down there.. but that was a silly mistake to make.

I thought the same thing, like maybe it "stopped" at Madagascar or something. Don't know what I thought the water between the two countries was called...

1. Mozambique Strait

2. Some people believe in a Southern Ocean. I don't, and neither does National Geographic or anyone I know of. But South Africa did take me while to get too.

I typed Ethiopia several times before realizing that it hasn't had a coastline on any ocean for over twenty years.

We were always taught to read the instructions on our exam papers at least twice before starting.

France should also be included, for Réunion and Mayotte (and for TAAF). Also, if overseas territories are not excluded in the disclaimer, UK has the British Indian Ocean Territory (Diego Garcia and the Chagos archipelago) which of course borders the ocean.

As others have stated, France should be here, Reunión and Mayotte are administratively identical to Paris or Brittany, and France is more populous than several countries here.
